Senior year isn’t all fun and games like alumni’s Instagram accounts may suggest. It makes you feel older than you already did when you turned 21 and makes you realize that you really don’t have your life figured out after all! No matter what, remember to make the best of this year because this is all you’ve got, I mean unless you’re planning on being a fifth year.

Walking out of that interview feeling…
Finally being able to say goodbye to all of your bad decisions you made these past 4 years. Hey, at least you made your mark!
