Here's Exactly What To Do Your Last Semester Of College
Odyssey

So, it's your last semester of school. The future looks bright and you're going to be stepping out into the real world. What are you going to do during your last semester of school before you graduate?

Panic

Just scream into a pillow and hope that good fortune will fall in your lap. You're terrified, alone, and broke. What a life you lead. This is everyone's go-to reaction because the world isn't safe. You won't have a clear path from here on out and you're not sure you'll ever have fun ever again. However, I give better advice than I can take so here are a few things to look forward to.

Have fun

This is it. This is your last 16 weeks of college. You gotta do something with your time. Don't sweat all the final exams and internships. They're important and all but you have to remember that school is supposed to be fun. Live it up. If you think that it's all downhill from here, that sounds like a pretty good reason to have the time of your life. Grab all your friends and have a ball. Make sure to end on a high note.

Work for the future

When it's your last semester, you have to face the music. It is finally time to work on your career and have a game plan for employment. I'll be throwing stuff at the wall and see if anything sticks. If worse comes to worse, just have a back-up plan. Don't give up, it wastes too much time. You don't have much of it left. There is still hope and you've worked hard for it. Make it count.

Nostalgia

Once classes start again, I'm gonna be taking every step with a breath of fresh air. You gotta take it all in. This is your college experience. It wasn't all that it was cracked up to be but it certainly surprised you all the same. Like a cancer patient, I'll be thankful for everything before I go. It really is beautiful when you run out of time, isn't it?

Old dogs, new tricks

You still have a semester to learn. It seems like you haven't learned anything at all but you have and you still can. I'll be learning and trying some new things too. There is time to experiment and try it out before you graduate.

Farewell

I'm going to say goodbye to friends, hopefully see them again, and shed one manly tear for the good, old times. I love to say goodbye but hate to see you go. It's nice to have closure and make sure people know how much they mean to you. You gotta have that one last goodbye before you part your separate ways. Because without your friends, life at college really blows. When you're just hitting the books and moving from dorm to classroom and back, that's a pretty sad life. So I'll be saying farewell and so long because my friends deserve to remembered for all the good times.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
