Senior year is full of many monumental moments. You finally get to embrace life for yourself, and although it's scary it really is one for the books! Nostalgia is more contagious than the flu but less fun than missing the classes. Here are eight things that every senior realizes before the year is over!

1. Senioritis is an actual illness.

Because NO ONE wants to do anything senior year, except graduate.

2. School spirit magically appears, for EVERYTHING!!!!

3. Your class really is your family.

We don't get close to everyone, but sharing four years of your life with some people is a lot! You've stressed together, cried together, laughed together, bonded together, and even grew together. They're your people. Just like Meredith without Cristina, it's gonna be hard.

4. You can't stand the freshman marching around like they own everything.

During your last year of school, it really begins to irk some people when the freshman think they get all the perks of the seniors. Like, come on!! I had to do my time for the past four years now it's their turn, ugh!

5. You finally realize you really aren't ready for life.

* Insert crying emojis here* How did we ever expect ourselves to be able to adult when we still blast High School Musical's "Gotta Go My Own Way" when we can't break up with our significant others?!?!?

6. I could have sworn I was just ten yesterday?

Somewhere, somehow, we all just magically went from being ten years old to an adult. One day we fell asleep and the next day we woke up in a corporate office at a desk instead of in our beds, and no Scooby Doo was not on T.V....CNN was.

7. You think about every last as if you're dying.

This is truly the end of an era. Every last is extremely exaggerated. "This is my last time having class here." "Last laundry day." "Last mental breakdown in this crappy apartment." "Last time getting to use the expensive toilet paper." If it's a last, I'm pretty sure someone has shed a tear about it somewhere.

8. You spend all year wanting to graduate, but when you actually graduate you just want it all back.

Carpe Diem while you still can.
