Go to college, they said. It will be fun, they said.

While college certainly has been a wild ride, and I've had a lot of crazy and fun moments that I wouldn't trade for the world, there comes a time in a young woman's life when enough is enough. Here are some telltale signs that you not only have senioritis but super senioritis (when you've been in college for far too long.)

1. You can't bounce back after a night out like you used to.

There really was a time in my life when I could drink free well liquor all night and wake up the next day ready to run a marathon. Now, a night out means an intense bedridden two-day recovery period and my brain will literally feel like a bowl of mashed potatoes. I also actually care about making it to class now, unlike my freshman self who blew off lectures like there was no tomorrow. Going out frequently just means ignoring my responsibilities, which is something that matters to me because I'm old. If anything, real adults day drink so they can get in bed by a reasonable hour.

2. You feel yourself starting to drift away from friends who don't have goals for the future.

College is a lot about having fun, no rules, no parents, and all that jazz. At least in the beginning. You start to eventually realize that the real reason you're here is to get a piece of paper that makes you qualified to enter the workforce. If you're screwing off all the time with not a goal or a vision in sight, you're just going to inevitably waste your time and money. Friends who don't share your values and make you ignore the things that truly matter will end up taking the back burner.

3. People you went to high school with are getting married and having babies because they're actually old enough.

“Omg, did you see they got engaged?! They're so young!! Oh wait…they're only a year older than me…they're allowed to do that now." I see less and less club pictures on social media and more professional wedding announcement photoshoots and extravagant Pinterest-inspired gender reveals. Who the hell said this was okay? I'm still using my chest as a tray for chicken tenders. I don't even think I've ever been in love. I need to graduate.

4. And settling down doesn't sound that…bad?

So you're telling me that being in an exclusive relationship with somebody who actually loves you is better than hooking up with disgusting frat guys who have baked beans smushed into their carpet and ask you to call your own Uber in the morning after they forgot your name? Sounds awful. I can't imagine that anyone would rather spend the night in with a movie and a bottle of wine after cooking a delicious meal with their significant other rather than being treated like an anonymous piece of meat by a loser who is addicted to their Juul and has a 1.2 GPA.

5. You have a better understanding of who you are thanks to all the mistakes you made and the bumps in the road you endured.

Being on your own for the first time can be challenging and daunting. I remember being scared shitless just to go grocery shopping by myself. Now, I can look back and give myself a pat on the back for how far I've come. It took a lot of trial and error and royal mess-ups to become the person I am today, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. I learned how to take care of myself, how to set boundaries, how to prioritize, and most importantly how drinking a cup of water in between every drink is actually smart and not lame.

6. All of your friends are graduated.

The worst is when all of your friends have graduated and are on to bigger and better things. They post Instagram photos at their new jobs and look like they're having a fantastic time in the real world without $200 textbooks and morning classes. But don't worry, our time will come.
