Senior Year, As Told By Audrey Hepburn

Senioritis is a real struggle, but Audrey reminds us that we're not alone in this!

Senior Year, As Told By Audrey Hepburn

High school senioritis does not compare to the senioritis you experience in college. As much as I love it here at GCU, I cannot wait to turn in my last assignment to Loud Cloud and receive my diploma. No more CLCs and DQs; it's so close, I can almost taste it!

But the closer it gets, the more overwhelmed I feel. At least after graduating high school, I had college as a buffer before entering into the real adult world. Now, I feel like I have to have everything altogether the moment I leave campus. The pressure senior year can put on you is quite stressful. All you want to do is escape!

My favorite escape so far is throwing it back to old Hollywood films and fantasizing about life in the good ol’ days. You know, back when things seemed simple. Who better to narrate this not-so-simple transition than the relatable and inspirational, Audrey Hepburn! This British actress and humanitarian walked with class and grace which is why she's still one of Hollywood's most famous icons today. We can only aspire to live the last of our college years like she would have.

In need of a quote to describe your senior year? Here's the top 5 Audrey Hepburn quotes that we can relate to:

Deciding on what to wear to class:

By the end of our freshman year, we know that sometimes it's just not worth the effort of putting on makeup and trying to look our best. One 7 AM class is all it takes for you to become best friends with yoga pants and messy buns!

Needing to do homework, but friends want to hang out:

Friendships are the real support groups for senioritis. Three essays and an exam due? Friends and spontaneous plans are just the cure you need for your weekend blues. Just remember to get the assignments into LC Sunday night by 11:59 PM or else your blues will carry on into your week.

Overwhelmed with post-graduation plans:

Sometimes, it's necessary to dream about what your future would look like. Most of the time, you avoid it because it stresses you out. You can be assured that if all my plans fail, I'm taking one from Audrey and hopping on the next plane to Paris.

Wondering if you learned anything over the years:

As you get closer to graduation, think back on your years in school. What have you really learned? As for me, I've learned a lot. Thank you, Netflix and Hulu for sticking by my side through it all!

When you feel like giving up:

Day after day, new trials will come up. Every single time you may want to throw in the towel. You may want to drop out and become a goat herder, but you are stronger than this. You will get through it and you will succeed because you are possible!

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
