Wow, another sappy \u201cI\u2019m A Senior\u201d post.<\/span><\/p>\n

HA! WRONG!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong; I am devastated that my college career is coming to an end. But in 3 short months, I will never have to write another paper again. EVER. I have spent 15 years as a student in the American education system and if it has taught me anything, it\u2019s that most forms of homework are actually forms of torture in disguise. Guantanamo-level torture.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Hold on, kids, because this is about to get sappy.<\/span><\/p>\n

A few nights ago, I texted my friend in NYC, \u201cI\u2019m going to miss college so much.\u201d I don\u2019t remember what prompted the text, but it made me think back to all of the shenanigans my friends and I have gotten into these past few years. Do you ever stalk yourself on social media and look at pictures from pre-college life?<\/span><\/p>\n

This is an accidental ritual I do probably once a month (mostly because I like to think that college made me hot).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

But also as a subtle reminder of how much my life has changed these past 3 and a half years. My one friend likes to remind me that I looked like a worm in high school (she\u2019s not wrong). College is like the cocoon phase of my life. So let\u2019s hope post-grad is when I become a butterfly. Although, my expectations are that I\u2019ll be more of a gross moth. Is that how caterpillars work? I missed that day of elementary school and feel like it\u2019s too late in the game to ask now.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone tells you how fast college goes by, but no one ever takes it seriously. I guess it\u2019s just something you have to live through. The impending doom that is adulthood lurking around the corner is enough to keep anyone from wanting to graduate, but I feel strangely at peace with the whole \u201ccollege ending\u201d thing (most of the time). Maybe it just hasn\u2019t hit me yet. Until then, this will be me as I write my final few college papers:<\/span><\/p>\n
