11 Realizations That Are All Too Real When It's Your Last Semester
Buzzfeed

Sitting in class, you think of all the things you have to do. These are your last few months as a college student, because come December you have to be a real adult. It's both exciting but also scary as hell. Here are some thoughts you're likely to have, if you haven't already, in the months to come.

1. At this point, you're so over it, class feels pretty pointless.

2. So much to do, so little time.

On top of your regular work and school load, you now have to find time to prepare for graduation. How can I possibly find an outfit, decorate my cap, take pictures, and send out announcements by the second week of December?

3. It's finally time to have the career center help you with your resume.

Despite endless hours spent working on your resume, you just can't get it right. I mean who even knows how to do these things anyway? Oh yeah, there's a place on campus that does! I've been meaning to go there for years now.

4. Soon you're going to have to pay for everything...on your own.

5. Oh yeah, and in six months you will have to start paying back that money that got you through the last four (or more) years.

6. "The best time of your life" is quickly coming to an end.

College has really flown by, and the last four years are one big blur.

7. You need to find a big girl/boy job, but you actually have no idea what you want to do.

8. You've almost completed your education and that is a huge accomplishment.

9. You own one business causal outfit.

You thought regular clothes were expensive...you had no idea.

10. It's time for another major life change and you're not sure how to feel.

Whether or not you like change, it's always a little scary. It's okay to be nervous!

11. After graduation, you are officially a "real" adult, whether you like it or not.


So heres to all the soon-to-be college graduates. Don't worry, we got this, guys! We'll figure this whole adult-ing thing out eventually. In the time being, enjoy what's left of your last semester, and have fun.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
