This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bates chapter.
1. You show up to parties alone.
2. You wear the same thing several days in a row.
3. You roll your eyes whenever underclassmen do pepper-flips in Commons.
4. You choose comfort over style. To be honest, comfort is your style.
5. You refuse to dress according to party themes.
6. You refuse to walk to the Goose on Thursdays. No driver? You’re definitely going to Brown House then.
7. Morning class or out on a Saturday night? No makeup, no problem.
8. You order pizza while still at the Goose.
9. You no longer try to get to know any of the underclassmen.
10. You find it annoying when senior boys get with freshmen girls. Then again, you don’t want them anyway.
11. But even when you’re not into the senior boys, you still want to “wow” them at the cocktail parties.
12. You’ve let go of all your previous grudges because “hey, we’re seniors.”
13. You no longer look at Bates Faces or team rosters online to figure out the names of certain boys. You either know them already or don’t care.
14. You essentially have three moods:
“I’m too old for this”
“I don’t have time for this”
“I’m too sober for this”
15. You know you’re awesome and these next few months are your time to shine.
