Winter break has come to an end, and I must say so myself that it is pretty devastating.

As you are frantically realizing that you start class again in a few days, here are some GIFs that perfectly explain how you probably feel.

1. Syllabus week

You prepare yourself for the first week of class by telling yourself that it’s okay because the first week is always syllabus week. No Biggie. You will have an easy first week of class.

2. When not all of the professors get the memo that it is syllabus week

* Professor passes out syllabus*

Professor: Here is the syllabus read over it on your own time because we are starting chapter 1 today.

That is when you realize you don’t have your life together, you haven’t bought all your books, and the first test is in two weeks. All this time you thought it would be a fresh start because it’s a new year. You promised to have your life together.

3. CUMULATIVE TESTS

It’s fine. It’s going to be fine.

4. “The textbook is required.”

You are about to spend hundreds of dollars on text books you more than likely won’t even use. The professor keeps repeating that you won’t pass the class without the textbook, and half-way through the semester you still haven’t even opened the textbook. They should welcome us by saying, “Welcome to college where we suck every dollar out of your bank account.”

5. 8 AM’s

Do I have to say anything else?

6. The student who asks a million questions

It is the first day of class and the professor clearly says, “if you have any questions please refer to the syllabus first.”

Student: what time are your office hours?

7. PARKING

Is there a campus that has significant and reasonable parking? I feel like I have to get to campus an hour early to get decent parking.

8. Wi-Fi

You forgot how bad the Wi-Fi is on campus. It’s usually really slow and there’s no point in trying to connect.

9. New students

It is inevitable to see someone struggling as much as you are, but new students and transfers are probably struggling even more. Hop on the struggle bus because we are all in this together!

10. After your first week of classes

So as we are all beginning another dreaded semester of college, I wish you all the best.
