When I say I would do anything to switch places with you, I really mean ANYTHING. If time travel was actually a thing I would 100% use it to do college over again. Hearing the g word, (graduation) makes my whole body cringe and I automatically ignore whatever follows that word. I am refusing to acknowledge that in a few months from now, I will be done with school and have to move on to the so-called “real world.” I have so many questions about what this “real world” entails, but for now, I am going to ignore them all and tell you why college really is the most amazing four years of your life.
Once you graduate, it will never be socially acceptable to sleep until noon or go an entire day without leaving your apartment. It will also probably not be acceptable to get drunk at least four nights a week, or start drinking at 8 a.m. and not stop until 2 a.m. Saturday mornings will no longer be dedicated to tailgating. You can’t skip work on Friday just because you are hungover, or avoid having to work on Friday like you avoid having class on Friday mornings.

Once you graduate, leaving your work until midnight the night before it is due is also probably not a great idea. So freshmen, enjoy this all because when they say that college will fly by, it really will. I am still in denial that four years have passed. I remember my first college class, first frat party and first jump around in Camp Randall as if this all occurred last week. Apparently, it did not and I am now experiencing my lasts.
So college freshmen, I beg of you on behalf of every senior out there, enjoy every single millisecond you get to spend in college. When someone asks if you want to go out, go out. If your friends end up staying up until 4 a.m. talking, oh well -- you can nap tomorrow. If you are crying over a grade in class, move on; there are so many more opportunities ahead to make up for it. So freshmen, work hard but play harder. Tailgate like every game day is your last because before you know it, it will be your last. And to seniors reading this -- live it up the next few months. The “real world” can wait.
