With the semester reaching the half way mark, it is hard to escape the feeling of exhaustion, and anger towards our professors who just don't understand that a 7 page essay is not what we need right now. Below I will map out the 10 feels you feel throughout a typical day when you're in the depths of a college semester.

1. WAKING UP TIRED:

There is nothing worse than waking up to feeling like you already need a nap. Wether you are running on no sleep, or the rare lucky student that gets the full 8 hours, you are most likely still very exhausted.

2. HOPING THAT CLASS WAS CANCELLED:


It probably wasn't but theres no harm in checking your email every ten minutes until class time, right?

3. REGRETTING SIGNING UP FOR AN 8:30 AM CLASS


What were you thinking?! You hardly feel comfortable waking up for a 10am class! Can we go back in time and change this?!

4. MAKING ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF TRIPS TO STARBUCKS


Then walking into class late, shamelessly, with the coffee that made you late.

5. SAYING "I'LL JUST DROP OUT" AT LEAST TWICE A DAY


It just isn't worth all of this stress! I officially don't care anymore.

6. WONDERING IF ANYONE CAUGHT YOU DOZING OFF IN CLASS


Answer, yes they did....and they're super jealous of the tiny amount of sleep you're getting right now.

7. WONDERING WHICH CLASSMATE WILL SHARE THEIR NOTES WITH YOU


You were too busy sleeping and missed the whole lecture. Which smart kid will actually be nice enough to lend you their notes?!

8. TELLING YOURSELF YOU'LL GET WORK DONE WHEN YOU GET HOME


Your second wave of energy can carry you through! You are unstoppable!

9. GETTING HOME AND MAKING YOUR TO DO LIST


YOU ARE DOING SO WELL! TIME TO GET TO IT!

10. LAYING IN BED AND TAKING A NAP INSTEAD


Wake up, and repeat.

RBF

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
