10 Things Every College Student Understands

We have all felt this way...

1. Crawling out of your twin XL bed that usually feels like a rock, but now feels like a soft, puffy cloud in order to make your 8 am that could put you back to sleep in the first five minutes.


2. Walking by that one girl who is dressed like she's on her way to a Grade A interview and you're walking, regretting not bringing your blanket with you to complete your Monday morning outfit.


3. Running out of socks, so you do a load of wash only to pull out six of the ten socks you put in.


4. Scoping out the cafeteria in the hopes that something other than the salad bar looks edible.


5. Waking up to seven emails from the University, none of which includes a cancellation of your classes. Just wanted to remind you to pay for this, that, or the other thing.


6. Procrastinating a five page essay that needs to be submitted by midnight in order to finish those last two episodes of the series you have been binge- watching all week.


7. That one professor who asks questions after every point in the slide and expects a different student to answer each time. Don't worry, you can count on the kid sitting front and center, taking notes like his or her life depends on it.


8. Spending ten hours straight in the library studying just to go back to your dorm room and pull an all nighter in the hopes of pulling a C, at best, on the final tomorrow.


9. Driving the continuous loop, trying to find a parking spot down a one way road, when someone comes flying down the one way, the WRONG way, as they continue to take the spot you wanted.

10. Being eternally grateful for the friends you made at college who have gotten you through all your worst days, making them the best.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
