Second Semester Senior Year as Told by “Lizzie McGuire”

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

Seniors, we are in our FINAL semester of college. THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

Let’s be honest, there is a lot of stress eating involved.

Sometimes you are so overtired, nothing makes sense anymore…

…and you become delirious.

Your parents will find out you saved a paper or presentation to do the night before it’s due, but little do they know you’ve done this for the past three years.

And you are often on the brink of exploding due to stress and people asking if you’ve found a job for after graduation *yet*.

You feel the stress of figuring out what to do after graduation.

And will occasionally convince yourself, for brief moments, that you won’t graduate.

But your friends know what you should be doing to get out of your slump.

Speaking of friends, you don’t know how you would be getting through senior year (or college) without them.

And as scary as graduating is, it is also super exciting!

So you talk about what you want your futures to be like…

…and know that it will all be alright.

Have a wonderful final semester Class of 2016!
