For the Seniors in the Class

This one is for all the seniors that are graduating soon in class:

How are you guys handling all of this? I. Am. Terrified. 

This past summer it hit me that I will be graduating in 2 years. This made my anxiety level sky rocket. More than it's ever been. And it's even gotten to the point where it's hurting me physically. I've never had back pain like this. I feel like an old old old worn out woman everyday.

I try and live by the advice I give to other people who come to me with anxiety and stress issues, but it's much harder this time. 

I'm so scared that I'm not going to get into any graduate schools because I screwed up my grades the last 2 years. And I need to go to graduate school so I can get the job that I want. Otherwise, I, and every other Psychology major, can say that I have no hope in finding a job with just a BA in Psych.
And if I don't find a job then where am I going to live? With my parents?! This is just the main issues. I'm not even going to talk about everything else that weighs me down.

The point of this project and mainly this class, is to forget about grades and focus on learning. That's been so hard for me because of all this weighing me down. I have been focusing on learning a little bit more in my other classes and especially this one. I've learned a lot, but I'm still scared to death.
I mean I'm a Psychology major for crying out loud! I should know ways to ease this myself!  

So seniors, how are you making it? Have any ways to calm me down? Advice? Anyone? Please?!

The Project So Far...

   I just have to say how impressed I am with my group's progress so far. Or at least the results for it. I interviewed one of my favorite professors on Thursday and the results show why he is one of my fav's. His answers to the questions literally made me feel warm and fuzzy inside because I could see his passion in teaching and his care for us! I can't wait to show you guys what he said! Maybe I can post his answers later.Get excited.
   Because of professors like this, I find a true appreciation for my college and education. I hope that we only gain more professors like this!
