10 Things Things That Give All College Students Nightmares

College is supposed to be some of the best memories you'll ever make in college. And believe me, these past two years have been some of the best ever, but no one ever warned me of the horrors it possessed. Here a few of the things I've experienced and have had to live through so far!

1. When you wake up on a beautiful, sunny, near perfect day only to realize you have an exam you completely forgot about in a few hours.

Because that momentary set of panic, before realizing you don't have time to panic, can really scar you for life.

2. When you go to check your bank account so you can make a REALLY IMPORTANT purchase only to realize you've wasted all your money for this month on Taco Bell (but is it really that big of a loss?)

Who needs textbooks though and mandatory EXPENSIVE online homework when you've got Taco Bell, right?

3. When you attempt to make friends, and your 'friend request' (IRL) is rejected.

I promise I'm not a creep. I'm just sad and alone. And not hitting on you.

4. In the dining hall, you realize not only is your food exceptionally mediocre, but that you'll have to sit ALONE because you have no friends.

And sometimes you even may have friends, they just have other friends or different lunch breaks.

5. Before you realize that your roommates are totally awesome, you probably have a momentary (or summer long) fear that your roommate might try to kill you in your sleep.

Because Leighton Meester totally terrified you in that movie.

6.The red number pops up on Blackboard, and you know a teacher has entered a grade that could save or break you.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

7. During class, you're actually paying attention and you have no idea what is being said.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm in my actual class or if I accidentally walked into some foreign language class.

8. Walking in on things you never wanted to see (or can unsee)

No matter how much you wash your eyes out or distract yourself, those memories will come to haunt you later.

9. The week before midterms and finals, because isn't it such a great idea to make everything due all at once?

Turns out running from your responsibilities doesn't work, or that you'll be running for a long time. Honestly, it's no wonder they give us fall/spring break to recuperate from the damage inflicted.

10.When you realize that after college you're supposed to be a functioning adult, but you don't even have the foggiest clue on how to even start.

Because if beautiful and strong Robb Stark still needs his mom, I definitely do as well.

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.
