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!
