Here it is, the dreaded senior year. Since freshman year, we heard the old, washed up seniors tell us over and over, “I wish I was in your place!” and “You are so lucky.” And, before we even knew it, we became those old seniors. Suddenly, we became the ones that are drunkenly grabbing poor freshmen by shoulders and shaking them, emphasizing just how much we want to be them (most likely creeping them out).
The “real world” is pretty scary, but we are not there yet. It is a weird feeling, being right on the cusp of reality smacking you in the face. Before then, though, we have this entire year to soak up our glory days.
We each have a little bit of Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey in all of us, especially as seniors. So, here’s the weird emotional roller coaster that is senior year explained by our favorite group of “Friends.”
20. When the Senior 30 hits
We thought the Freshmen 15 was what we needed to worry about, but no one warned us about the senior year gains. Four years of cheap beer and post-bar pizza adds up in the midsection.
19. By now, you and your roomies are almost too comfortable with each other.
There are no limits anymore. Need to go to the bathroom when I am in the shower? Okay. Want to borrow one of my hoodies when I am still asleep? Come on in. We have stuck together through all the bad outfits and questionable decisions, so nothing can really change our minds now.
18. Saying just about anything to get that paper in on time
At this point, we are pretty good at putting things off until the last minute. Starting a paper at 10 PM the night before it is due is not uncommon. Sometimes, we pull it off like Phoebe did with “Smelly Cat.” Sometimes, we tank.
