I don’t know about my fellow seniors but personally I am in a place of I need to be done with school right now and oh please don’t make me leave. The idea of studying for finals seems like an onerous task, but at the same time I know that once they are done, it’s time for senior week! Here’s a glimpse of what’s going on in my brain right now through GIFS.
1. Trying to get all my work done, apply for jobs and have a social life

Essentially, this is a really weird time to be alive. My school life and career is coming to an end, but everything else is starting. In this period of transition, it’s important to remember what while literally everything is changing, good things are coming down the pike too! Take a second with me and breathe. It’s all going to work out and as hard as it is, don’t compare your postgrad plans with everyone else’s. Use this time to finish those last assignments and truly live it up with all the friends you love in these last couple weeks and you’re bound to finish strong!
