Am I ever going to see my friends again?

College is a time to make new friends from all over. If you're like me, these have been the best friends you've ever made and it's hard to think about how you'll survive those sleepless nights or those long drives without them.

Am I going to find a job?

I've begun realizing jobs don't grow on trees and you have to have the experience to get a job, but you need a job to get experience. It's just a big cycle of confusion and stress.

Is anyone going to miss me when I am gone?

I have a lot of underclassmen friends that will still be at college when I graduate. It's a fear that sometimes they won't even notice when I've moved away — but little do they know I won't let them forget.

Does this mean I have to start a family soon?

Graduating college means you're getting older which means it's time to start a family. I think. In my head I know there's no rush, but there's still that internal worry.

I really am on my own now.

Everything my parents complained about me not doing or doing when I lived at home all makes sense now. The logical thinker in me has developed and now that I am on my own. My room is cleaner than when I lived at home, I pick up after myself and I care more about the things I own.

My parents would be surprised.

Was my degree worth all the money and sleepless nights?

Sometimes it feels like the information I receive isn't worth the thousands of dollars for the sheet of paper I get at the end of the four years. I know it is, but sometimes I'd just rather be asleep.

When you realize the degree is worth the money, but you slept anyway.

I admit I've skipped class one or two times to sleep in. The closer I get to graduation, the more I hope I didn't skip the *important* lectures I needed to go to pass the test. But sometimes the sleep is so worth it.

How many pets can I actually own before it's too much?

Graduating means you're going to have less time with your peers, so why not have pets? Pets are a great substitution for other humans. But how many is too many? The answer is there are never too many.

Am I old enough to be considered an adult?

Twenty-one years on this earth doesn't seem like enough time to be considered an adult and to make decisions for me. Who decided I could choose what healthcare plan is the right one for me? Or that I could raise a family and have others depend on me? This doesn't seem right.

Will I ever lose the freshman 15?

The "freshman 15" we all gained turned into the "senior 60" for some of us. I have that gym membership I haven't used yet, but all my motivation was sucked into school. I won't have any excuses after graduation, but I'm sure I'll find one.

College was scary, but the time after will be scarier. But I know it's all going to be okay.

Post-graduation will be scary, but just know you were able to get through the four years of college with only slightly losing your mind. Once you get the hang of this adult thing, it shouldn't be too hard, right?
