Wow, four years are done just like that. After you finished your last final or you submitted your final paper, you, like me, probably experienced a wide range of emotions. But now you're ready for graduation and everything leading up to it.
1. First you are ecstatic because, well, YOU FINISHED COLLEGE.
You're finally done with papers, homework, all-nighters and essentially everything that defined your life for four years.
2. Then you and your friends go celebrate the only way you know how....
By going out to a classy dinner with your friends and family. What did you think I meant?
3. You slightly panic because now you have to be a fully functioning adult and that's terrifying.
Still surprised that your required freshman year philosophy course didn't prepare you for this.
4. You then calm yourself down the only way you know how
Obviously another classy dinner. Goes without saying
5. Then you start thinking about student loans and that sorta freaks you out.
Only sorta freaks you out. You're totally calm about this. You're not trying to contain a panic attack at all.
6. You then say goodbye to some of your friends and are pretty sad because you don't know when you're going to see them next.
These are sad times.
7. And then you start thinking about the time you spent at college with your friends and simultaneously are completely ready to graduate but don't want to leave.
Spoiler alert: These were those days.
8. The big day comes and you have your cap and gown on and you are ready to walk.
9. You walk to get your degree and carefully take every step to avoid being that one person who falls.
Also you know if you do fall it will be on camera since literally every parent is recording it on their phones.
And just like that, you are college graduate. The four years that felt like they went by much too fast have finally led you to this moment. Now you have the real world to worry about, but if you could survive freshman philosophy, you can survive anything. So when thinking about your future, you only really have one thought. Bring it on!
