1. Your dad calming down your sobbing mother dropping “her baby” off at college
2. Then you’re convinced you met your lifelong best friend and sister first week of freshman year
3. When you’re late to class and try to sneak in the back
4. When you get a test back and yell at yourself to seriously “get your shit together”
5. And then there’s that person in the class who gets 20 points higher than everyone else and really messes up that curve you were praying for
6. You use that bottle of vodka you are going to drink tonight an incentive to go to the gym
7. When the weekend is finally here
8. And you don’t have enough money, even for dollar beers
9. But somehow you end up drinking too much and have to convince the bartender not to cut you off
10. The feeling you have the next morning about all types of alcohol
11. And dealing with that friend who thinks every guy is obsessed with her
12. As if you didn’t embarrass yourself enough Thursday night, why not try again Friday and Saturday?
13. Then it’s 4 a.m., the pizza place is closed and all you want is a slice…. Or 5…with a side of mozz sticks…maybe chicken tenders too?
14. Sunday approaches and there’s that one friend who is too vulgar and asks too personal of a question
15. You’re so embarrassed of last night’s actions and never want to leave your bed, so your friend has to convince you that you shouldn’t transfer
16. College continues to fly by and with only a few short weeks left all your teachers decide to make tests the same week
17. But being a senior and earning yourself an A in the class, you try to get out of that final exam
18. You have a breakdown knowing graduation day is around the corner and you are still unemployed
19. But you realize it’s okay and to keep applying. I mean, at least you have the summer at the beach and applications to send for breakfast, lunch and dinner
20. And just like that senior year comes to a close and graduation day has arrived
21. Now, time to celebrate with your friends one final time in your dumpy college houses and the bars that you’re surprised never caved in on you
Congratulations to the Class of 2015. You’re almost there!
