Senior year: you have good times, bad times, and you are pretty much stressed all the time. However, this is your last year to make the most out of your college experience. This article is for all the seniors out there.

1. You are finally a senior, and you couldn't feel any cooler:

You have been waiting for this feeling ever since..well, you were about to be a senior in high school. Senior life couldn't be better, right? You are the oldest, but more importantly, the coolest. At least, that's what you have always been told.

2. Then you realize that means you are about to be an adult:

No one told you when you graduated college that you would have to get a real job, pay real bills, and act like a real adult. Okay, well they did--but you didn't really listen. You also didn't think that it was going to creep up on you that fast.

3. After going to your first day of classes, you realize senior year isn't actually "easy."

Tests, ten-page essays, and all of your midterms scheduled for the same week: you are in for a hard semester.

4. You find time to participate in campus events, and realize that it is your last time you are able to do stuff like that:

You never realized that you were going to miss your daily activities until you realized that you won't get to do them next year. It's time to make the most of things.

5. You start getting emails about graduation, getting your cap and gown, etc:

You didn't know that graduation was something you had to really prepare for months in advance. It feels like you still have a really long time to prepare for the real world, when in reality, the end of senior year is right around the corner.

6. Your friends start getting busier, and start to plan their own futures as well:

You start seeing your close friends less, and some of them decide to graduate early in December instead of in May with you. What is this, senior year?

7. You learn to seize the day, and start doing things you never thought you would do.

With senior year, you gain confidence. This is the last year you can leave your mark at your University. You learn to go new places and learn new things. There is only so much time left as an undergrad. However, sometimes seizing the day isn't just about doing something out of the ordinary. Take time for yourself, and make use of your meal plan on campus while you can.

8. You start to apply for internships, jobs, and/or graduate school:

You never had to make so many decisions in your life. You hope that whatever decision you do make is the best option for you. All these decisions just make you want to take a nap.

9. You start to spend more time with your underclassmen friends, because you know you don't have much time left with them:

Senior goodbyes are always so dramatic, but once you are a senior you learn why they are. You start to remind all of your younger friends that you won't be around next year, and they won't always have you by their side.

10. You learn that this is just the beginning:

You have a whole world out there waiting for you to explore. You worked so hard to get the degree you wanted, now go use it. Even though the adult world is scary, you will learn how to leave your mark on it.
