8 Questions You Should Never Ask A Graduating College Senior
Halee Sikorski

My college days are quickly winding down, much faster than I ever expected or would like to admit. Being a college senior is apparently like having a huge sign on your forehead that says "ask me anything you want because I'm an adult now." But I'm not (at least not yet) and all of the following questions make me want to cringe and build a fort to watch Netflix in for the rest of the day, or drink my sorrows away, pick your poison. Either way, don't ruin the day of a fellow college senior by asking any of the following.

1. "So, what are you doing after graduation?"

Unless they know what they're doing after graduation, don't ask. Just don't. There are a lot of unknowns right now, and we don't want to talk about it.

2. "Are you excited to graduate?"

To be completely honest, I don't know! I don't know how to feel right now.

3. "Are you going out tonight?"

Yeah, of course, I'm going out tonight. I only have so many nights left with my friends to have no cares in the world. Let me live.

4. "Can you believe this is your last ... ?"

No, I can't believe it. The past four years flew by and I can't believe this is my last football game, tailgate, darty season, or anything else for that matter.

5. "Are you just living with your parents after you graduate?"

How do you expect me to make adult decisions right now, I don't even know what I'm eating for dinner tonight. I'm also broke, so we'll see how far that gets me.

6. "Are we ever going to see each other again?"

I'm just not ready to accept the fact that the people I've lived with for the past four years are suddenly going to be spread all across the country.

7. "So about that ring by spring?"

I'm convinced this phrase is a complete myth. How is anyone my age genuinely ready to get engaged and married right now? I can hardly take care of myself on a day to day basis.

8. "Can you believe you're already done?"

No, I can't! The past four years flew by and I can't believe it's already almost over. Cheers to making these next few weeks the best they can be. Here's to us, class of 2017.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
