If you've had at least three existential crises since school started, raise your hand.

I don't know about you reading this, but mine is all the way up. Ever since this school year started the only thing that has been on my mind is graduation. What am I gonna do after it, am I going to survive until it, and will they let me even graduate?

I mean of course they're going to let me, but still it stresses me out.

I've never noticed this year how many people come up and ask you about your future plans. I smile and state proudly the line I have memorized, "I'm going to get my Masters in Student Affairs, and work in residence life." They stare at you blankly until you explain what that means. They say something along the lines, "You have it all planned out," and you try to hide the fear in your eyes that spills that no, you actually have nothing planned out and you're descending slowly into madness.

Now, those are my actual plans and people do usually have that blank stare. The first time I told my parents what I wanted to do they were so confused (and probably not pleased). I decided these plans in my sophomore year and it's crazy to think that these plans will come to fruition so soon.

I feel like there are so many things that I still need to do, but still so many that I have accomplished. I have had the best years of my life and they have flown by way too fast. I turned in the Application for Graduation last Thursday and all of this suddenly hit me. I'm graduating college. I'm leaving this place I've called home for four years. I don't know when, or if, I'll ever see the friends I've made here ever again.

Of course, I'm going to say I'm coming back to visit, but I don't know when it will happen. I might not get to experience eating Muchos Nachos again, or coming to another Chicken Days, or just walking around campus going from class to class. I won't suit up in that band uniform again, and I won't ever be in a residence hall room (that one I'm not entirely upset about, I want a kitchen). Wayne State has given me so many experiences, and now this year I'm going to have so many lasts.

I hope that all of us, the Class of 2017, realize this. We need to make sure that we make the time to appreciate all the things we've done and the people that we've met.

So, this is my realization that I am graduating in a few short months. So, here we go, almost time to adult.
