#gbgrad feelings as told by Beyoncé
List compiled by Social Media Intern — Elizabeth Bragstad
Commencement is fast approaching! It becomes difficult to focus on finishing up projects and prepping from final exams when you just want to make the most of your time left at UWGB. Graduating seniors experience a whirlwind of emotions during their last few weeks that are best explained by Beyoncé.
- Excited
At first you feel ready to graduate and take on the world! You have worked hard to earn your degree and you are ready to put it to good use.
You are confident that you have this “adult-ing” thing down!
2. Overwhelmed
Then all at once it hits you… and you think “AN ADULT? Wait, I didn’t sign up for this?” But then you realize you kind of did when you enrolled in college.
So you start dodging all responsibility like…
3. Panic
Everyone is asking you, “So are you excited for graduation? What are your plans for after school?”
And internally you’re like, “I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING!”
You begin to question if you are even qualified enough get a “grown-up” job. And if you do get an interview, you freak out about what to wear because throughout your college career you seem to have collected a wardrobe of sweatpants and free t-shirts.
Trying to find a professional outfit like…
4. Bitter-sweetness
You are swimming in a giant sea of sadness, filled with your own tears.
You think about all of the great memories you have made with your crew
…and how much you don’t want the good times to end.
5. Accomplished
Then the day finally comes. It felt like forever, but now that it is all over you realize how quickly time has gone.
You walk across that stage like…
And you feel like a BOSS!
You’ll be leaving campus with a new-found confidence and swag.
