The Last Semester Of College As Told By Stranger Things

Adult life is kinda like the upside down.

The Last Semester Of College As Told By Stranger Things
Digital Trends

College can be the most stressful time of your life and the most fun time of your life. In that respect, it’s comparable to Stranger Things. We might not be combating demogorgons, but professors (and hangovers) can be just as vicious if we aren’t on top of things. College is fun, and graduation is scary. Here are 11 things that second-semester seniors experience:

1. The first semester of senior year seems like a blur.

It passed by so quickly, you barely remember it happening at all.

2. Your final registration was possibly the most satisfying moment of your life.

Never again will you have to email professors and fight to the death for a spot in a class you need.

3. Now it’s your final semester… no big deal, right?

Yes, it is a very big deal. In just a few months you will be a REAL person, with REAL responsibilities.

4. Someone mentions that graduation is only four months away.

But, like an adult, you resist the urge to punch them in the face.

5. People start guilting you into going out because its your "last chance" to party it up in college.

And the next day you make your hundredth promise that you will “never drink again.”

6. Your graduation pictures come in the mail.

And suddenly it’s all becoming a little more real for you.

7. Everyone starts posting about the full-time offers they’re getting.

And you’re just proud of yourself for not having fast food that day.

8. It starts to seem as though everyone BUT you has their future figured out.

How the hell are they so prepared?

9. Then you realize that graduation is coming whether you like it or not.

Bring on the tissues.

10. Even worse—you’ll have to leave your friends in May.

NOPE. I refuse.

11. And so, you break your promise and drink again because you never want to think about adulting.

And the next morning you regret it just as much.


Best of luck in the upside down (or real world) everyone!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
