Graduation is coming but you still have to comply with professor syllabi and textbook assignments until then. Get ready for a roller coaster of events because your last semester will leave ample room for surprises.
In the words of Nick Miller "I know this isn’t gonna end well, but the middle part is gonna be awesome." This semester will be that middle part. So make the most of it. Here's your timeline of final college events with a few wise words from Nick Miller.
1. You are gung-ho for success as the semester begins.
You have some high hopes heading into your last semester.
2. You suck up to the professor because you are counting on their recommendations at the end of the semester.
