With less than half a month until my graduation date let me break down what to expect when you're expecting (graduation) in the best way I know how, by comparing senior year to The School or Rock without getting too angry that Jack Black was never one of my substitute teachers.

1. It starts when "The Man" makes you apply for graduation.

2. Then your email gets flooded with cap and gown details, ticket information, and every other way to remind you that you're being kicked out of the band. (?!?!)

3. But you're not mad, you're going to go on to bigger and better things; get a new squad and thrive with them, right?

4. You hear a group of people in class talking about their already flawless resumes and you can't hide how intrigued (and thoroughly confused) you are.

5. Maybe your job interviews become rejections, maybe you start failing a required class, whatever the case may be, morale is low and reality sets in.

6. Your friends and family start noticing you aren't as lively as you were during your sophomore year, but you refuse to take any of their advice or help.

7. With every "what are your post grad plans?" question you become more and more agitated, and sometimes your answer comes out harsher than anticipated, but that doesn't mean you're sorry.

8. Graduation is a couple months away, time to get a mentor and get things rolling.

9. And now it would only be fair if you rewarded your efforts by rallying the troops for a night out.

10. Followed by a week long recovery.

11. Making the realization that you need to feed yourself motivation and get back to work.

12. When you start hearing back from jobs you forgot you even applied to.

13. Now you have to pick up your cap and gown, start packing up your room, and hype up anyone crying.

14. Seeing you passed all of your classes and letting out a "sigh of relief."

15. When you finally get to walk across the stage towards your university's president.
