21 Senior Year Quotes For Insta That'll Make You Nostalgic & Hyped For The Future

If you're a senior, graduation is not something you can hide from — whether you want to or not. You've spent the countless hours in the library, and countless hours making unforgettable memories with your college besties. You've cried many tears over missed deadlines and paper-induced headaches. You've fueled up on coffee each morning, and established your favorite lunch spots on campus. You've kept up with a rigorous studying schedule, and are now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. All of that hard work is going to pay off, and when you have that cute graduation picture with your crew, you're going to need some senior year quotes for Instagram to show your excitement and hope for what's to come.

The future can be a really scary thing. Don't worry, because everyone knows that and you're not alone. However, you have the skills and experience, and it's time to just think about all you can do with what you've learned. Taking graduation pics is one activity you have to do before the big day comes (along with what you're going to do the day of and after — aka, a lot of pictures are going to be taken).
