Preview: 5 Stages of Graduation

Hey, all. This is a major work in progress for me. I actually think it will be my baby for the next few weeks. What I'm posting is only a starting point.
On another note, I know you readers are out there! Let me know by leaving some comments or criticisms. Feedback keeps me going!
So without further ado...

The five stages of approaching graduation are strikingly similar to the five stages of approaching death. Okay—they are exactly the same. Thanks to social scientist, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, I can identify these steps and prepare accordingly. (Or not.)

First Stage: Denial
When approaching my last spring break it hits. Oh, shit, I’m almost done with college. What the hell have I been doing for the past 3 ½ years? (Hmm, don’t open that box.) There’s no way it’s over in 8 weeks. I still have projects to complete, friends to meet, drinks to shoot, mistakes to make. The world as I know it is real, why do they say I have to leave it for a different reality? I like where I’m at. I’m staying right here.
