Senior Year as Told by How I Met Your Mother

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

It felt like just yesterday that I started school at the University of New Haven, but now I am a senior and the real world is slowly approaching into reality. This is a glimpse of what senior year of college look like:

You show up to school and see all the freshman with lanyards around their necks (and remember when you thought that was cool).

You think since you’re a senior, you won’t get homework, but then teachers suddenly have a death sentence for you and give you all the assignments possible.

You decide to ignore it and live your senior year to the fullest.

You tell people you’re a senior and they ask, “What do you want to do after college?” and you don’t know how to answer.

The professor then reminds you that the final paper is due in a week and you haven’t started it yet. But you remember that you need to pass to graduate.

Through all the tears and smiles, graduation comes and you can finally celebrate all your hard work.

But after graduation, comes the living life part. And most importantly finding a job (that you like). The most stressful part. But going to school is the best part of it so do not let is pass you by without living to the fullest. Enjoy it while you can!
