Fall 2010.

You know you are in your last semester of college when....

1. Writing a 40 page paper seems like an easy final project.

2. You are at school/ work more than you are anywhere else.

3. You get so stressed out the tears flow like the freaking trevi fountain.

4. You start caring less about school, and more about a career.

5. Having an A pass still doesn't let you park close enough.

6. Your moto is "C's get degree's!"

7. You know exactly how many days until you graduate. (52)

8. You don't have time to shower.

9. Freshmen seem like babies, and you can spot them from a mile away. 

10. Taking a 3000 level class is "giving yourself a break".

11. Speaking in class is fun.

12. You would rather sit at home on a Saturday night watching Veronica Mars with Elise than go to another party.

13. You have to write in your planner when a good time to clean your room is.

14. Your classes have ten students total in them.

15. You professors are more of friends than scary teachers, and you know you will use their networks in the future.

16. Grad school is actually an option, before now you haven't thought too much about it.

17. You finally have mastered APA/ MLA style.

18. You take it day by day, and project by project.

19. Eating is not a priority.

20. New pencil skirts and cardigans for work are your christmas and birthday presents.

Well here are a few things I have learned this semester. I am dying, like seriously dying. I have never been so stressed, and I probably will never be this stressed again. But I know I am learning a lot, and this is what makes college hard. It isn't about the work, it is about time management and the ability to get things done. So for now, I may want to pull out my hair... but I am going to get on my horse and own this last semester. So to all the stress' I have in my life... suck it.
