As I look back on my freshman year of college, I cannot even begin to list all of the people responsible for making it so memorable. We all enter our freshman year scared and vulnerable, but the transformation that occurs when we find our friends and find our place is truly incomparable. Freshman year is unlike anything we will ever experience again, but if you have left it with funny memories and great friendships, you have done it right.

With finals, packing, and saying goodbyes, your last week is (or was) bound to be an emotional roller coaster. You do not know how you are going to shift from waking up to your best friends and being on your own, to living back home with your parents. But at least you know you have 3 more incredible years ahead of you.

Here's to doing the last week right.

1. Finals week begins and you inevitably have to cram for each upcoming test.

2.)Your sleep schedule becomes nothing but power naps for 3-4 days straight.

3. You finish your last final and feel like the world is your oyster....

4. ...Until you realize this means the year is actually over.

5. So you immediately find your best friends, to make the most of your last few days with them.

6. You spend your day visiting new places and eating at restaurants you have been trying to make it to all year.

7. You do something crazy when you go out at night, because you finally have no more responsibilities.

8. You say your first goodbye to a friend, and it starts to sink in that you are not going to see them for basically 4 months.

10. You cry.

11. As you start packing, you relate every item you pack to your experience this year, until everything suddenly feels too overwhelming.

12. You spend your final night with your favorite people, staying up until sunrise and looking back on your best year yet.

13. You head home the next day, sad to leave but hopeful for a kick-ass summer.
