How NOT to turn into "that girl" during your final year
You've carried yourself with poise and grace for the last three years, having a kick ass time but still respecting yourself and others around you. However, it's not uncommon for many college seniors to get a little crazy their last semester, or two, of college. It might have something to do with the growing cloud of real-life responsibility in their forecast or the lack of weekends left to go shot-for-shot with your best friends, but nonetheless it happens to the best of us. As a senior with less than eight weeks until the big day, I'm here to offer you advice on how to keep you from falling off the deep end when you're supposed to be gearing up to walk across the stage.
You've carried yourself with poise and grace for the last three years, having a kick ass time but still respecting yourself and others around you. However, it's not uncommon for many college seniors to get a little crazy their last semester, or two, of college.

As a senior with less than eight weeks until the big day, I'm here to offer you advice on how to keep you from falling off the deep end when you're supposed to be gearing up to walk across the stage.
-Just because you're 21 doesn't mean you have to attend EVERY happy hour and frat party there is. I'm not saying stay in on a Friday, but using the week days to catch up on homework will help you stay on track for graduation, and it won't hurt your bank account either.
- Don't ignore responsibilities when it's something big. Sure, occasionally skipping your 8am sophomore year didn't end up messing up your life, but being hung over for an internship interview that you want for next semester won't look good. As you get closer to the real world, you need to start to realize how you act and carry yourself might have implications on your future.
-You don't ALWAYS have to be the "cool senior". Just because you have an ID that actually works and you live in an off-campus house that lets you drink whenever you please, doesn't mean you have to be the next party animal. Buying alcohol for minors can get old real fast, not to mention it can cause you serious legal problems. And being the host to all the pregame parties from now until the end of the year will only make you resent your freshman and sophomore friends. Go out when you're feeling it, but don't beat yourself up when you'd rather stay in, watch Grey's Anatomy and wake up for Friday's classes actually not hungover.
