The Last Month Of Senior Year As Told By Arthur

Graduation season is upon us and that means millions of early twentysomethings are being thrust out into the real world. We are expected to graduate with a job, house, and insurance plan at the ready. Well jokes on everyone, most of the have maybe one of those things. Not only that but we’re expected to go class and ace our finals with one month left. One month, are you joking?! And were expected to enjoy the bit of childhood we have left? This is ridiculous, but I think I know someone who can encapsulate the feelings of the last month of senior year. We need a little help from Arthur and his friends, because no teacher is tougher than Mr. Ratburn and no one gets childhood angst like Arthur.

  1. Trying to get to class. Because when there’s three weeks left, what’s the point?
  2. Gaining weight during finals. Who doesn’t stress eat during finals?
  3. Waking up every morning and still being a student. No more tests please!
  4. When you’ve given up all hope about getting a “big kid” job.
  5. Trying to justify the fact that you’re getting a degree in the arts.
  6. When people judge you for wearing sweats every day.
  7. When you don’t do your homework. “C’s get degrees, amiright?”
  8. What to do when people ask what your plans are after graduation.
  9. Trying to get motivated for school but the internet exists. Come on there’s only thirty days left!
  10. Realizing after graduation you will still have no money to pay for things.
  11. So you take advantage of the free stuff from your university.
  12. Everything makes you angry, annoyed, upset, or sad.
  13. What you look like after finals.
  14. But when it’s all over you will finally be an adult.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
