To All The Other Graduating Seniors That Will Be Entering College

While the past four have not exactly been like your typical Disney movie high school experience, I would say it has been an okay time. I never got super involved in my high school so leaving it is a comfort for me, but I know people who are comfortable in high school so there are two different messages for the two types of people.

For people like me who never got involved in high school, I would say do not make the same mistake in college. Take a leap of faith and reach out to other people and make the most of your college experience. For me, that will be finding a study abroad experience but that can be anything.

Whatever you are interested in finding a group of people who share that same passion. If you love to watch birds go find some bird watchers or if you play baseball to try to put for the team . Making friends and finding a community is an integral part of this next chapter of our journeys.

For the people who made a home out of high school first, I applauded you. You have made the best out of some pretty awkward four years. I can only imagine what it feels like to be thrown out of your comfort zone into a completely new environment. While it will be hard to let go of the amazing memories you have made in high school you have the chance to make even more memories.

Wipe away the tears and just embrace the new challenge ahead of you. Just like the first scenario go out and find your people. That is my piece of advice go out and be your beautiful selves and people will be drawn to you. Most likely everyone else will be as nervous as you so just take a leap and make the most of your situation.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
