The day you walked onto your school's campus for the first time you were scared, excited, and unsure of how the next four years of your life were going to turn out. You doubted it would go fast and even though you weren't positive about what your future plans would hold, you had plenty of time. You figured out your major, added a minor or two, joined a handful of organizations and all of the sudden you're here. Your final semester of undergrad. Now you've got 25 problems and graduation is only one.
1. You get the email notifying you that you have to register for graduation. Instant denial.
2. But then you realize you only have to take one serious class this semester to graduate.
3. This is great. You've finally made it. You're in the final stretch of your undergraduate career.
4. You decided that "Netflix and Chill" is your new mantra and everyone else should follow your example.
5. Then you remember you actually have to figure out what you're going to do with the degree you've been working towards for the last 4+ years. The dilemma of going to grad school or choosing a career begins.
6. You know you want to do something you're passionate about. Or nothing, nothing sounds good too.
7. As you procrastinate on making a decision, you look at your FAFSA account and see how much money you actually owe the government.
8. You start looking into every job you can find because you're responsible. Great.
9. Every job you find expects you to have 3-5 years of experience or a Master's which makes you feel like a helpless child.
10. And even when you do fulfill the requirements and send in your application, no one seems to want you which is crazy because you're awesome.
11. And there's that one friend that seemed to have a job before senior year even started. You kind of hate them right now.
12. You've sent in 20 applications and no...wait, holy crap, you got your first interview.
13. So you go in with a big smile on your face and fake it till you make it. And do it over and over again until it actually works.
14. Finally: YOU GOT A JOB!
15. Now nothing is holding you back. You can officially give zero shits.
16. Your underclassmen friends seem to believe you are a wise sensei that understands all there is to know about college. So you let them.
17. You start to cling even more to your best friends because you realize the luxury of having them only five minutes away is going to end soon.
18. You drag them to every Margarita Monday and Thirsty Thursday because your drunken escapades together are also numbered.
19. Essentially, you want this semester to be as wild and crazy as possible because it might help you at least act like a civilized human after graduation. In all honesty, it probably won't.
20. The power to stop time would be awesome because you're not actually ready for any real responsibilities.
21. However, the thought of going through midterms and finals one more time has you officially ready for your freedom.
22. You're also looking forward to never seeing that one-night-stand-gone-wrong, the know-it-all from your Spanish class, or your roommate from hell ever again.
23. You really know that the good memories outweighed the bad. College was freaking awesome and it's going to suck when it's over.
24. Ready or not, there are only five months left before you have to leave.
25. Yep, this is terrifying.
