Your Life as a Senior in College: As Told by FRIENDS

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCF chapter.

It’s finals week here at UCF and many students are finding themselves in a state of mixed-feelings and hangry outbursts. The scheduled events with free pizza are running low and the so is the budget to go out to Pub to relieve some of the stress of not only finals week, but of graduating and the “next step” in life. While you figure out how you’re going to survive the next week and a half and that grueling job search, know that your FRIENDS have your back.

2. When asked how you are going to pass all your finals, you reply:

3. When contemplating how upset you are that you never took a chance on that cute guy from Biology:

4. Trying to refresh your professor’s memory of who you are so you can get a recommendation letter:

5. Waiting in the mile long line to pick up your cap and gown:

6. When thanking your S.O. for being with you along the way and for his/her love and support:

 

7. When asked how you feel about graduation looming ahead in only 10-12 days:

8. When it’s 3 am and you finally get to take a break from writing that final paper: 

9. When the drinks are too strong at the pre-grad parties:

 

10.  When the final grades roll in and they weren’t what you were hoping for:

11. When it’s time to reflect and be grateful for all the experiences you’ve had, people you’ve met, and lessons you’ve learned during some of the best years of your life:
