1. Denial
This just can't be. It feels like only yesterday you were visiting campus for the first time.
2. Grief
You need a moment to be sad about your older friends graduating.
3. Optimism
4. Panic
W
ait, this means you have to become an actual human adult... Chaos ensues.5. Loss of motivation
At this point you realize you're just so close. "So if I'm a senior, then, like, I stop doing work... right?"
6. Fear
"Wait, will I even graduate?" *aggressively browses ConnectCarolina*
7. Panic (again)
That's right, you have to take that one class you've been putting off for three years. Good luck, buddy.
8. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You still have a summer to lay around. Unless you got that internship that will begin preparing you for the real world. Then your time has come.
9. OMG I'M OLD
You still eat EasyMac and lay in bed until 4 p.m. every Saturday, yet somehow you have a little under a year to become a fully functioning adult.
10. Acceptance
The mix of emotions you are all feeling is probably just a little peek into what the next school year has in store. Might as well enjoy the madness.
