1. The Work Load
For some unknown reason, every professor waits to do three chapters, give two tests not including the final, and four papers. But it's okay, it's not like we have any other classes...
2. The Lack of Ambition
Well, seems like that paper is not getting done, nor is that project due to the amount of available time, but I will make time for this nap I so desperately need.
3. Your Stress Level Seems To Surpass Your Limits
With all the meetings, classwork, and athletics, on a scale of one to ten, the stress level is a flat one hundred. The only thing keeping you from going insane is when you get to treat yourself to that twenty minute shower.
4. Every Night Is Basically An All-Nighter
You end up reading the same sentence three times, but still think it's a smart idea to keep doing the work that will have to be redone anyways.
5. Midnight Wawa Trips Are the Only Thing Keeping You Going
Always thankful for Natalie for taking me to get a bagel and slushy just so I can make it through the night. But, for real, without Wawa, most of us would crash and burn in college.
6. That Day Your Body Finally Crashes
You're going strong, and you're on about day four, maybe day five, who really knows? But then, you get this burst of energy for about twenty minutes, then all of a sudden, you can't keep your eyes open or lift a finger. Yeah, your body has reached its breaking point.
7. Finals Week Is So Bittersweet
Because thanks to your wonderful professors, you have a math final, history final and English final all in the same day. I see what you are trying to do, professors. You're trying to drive me crazy. Well, let me tell you... it's working.
8. You Can't Wait To Go Home
You get to go home, sleep in your bigger bed, see all your old friends you kept in contact with, see their families that you are basically a part of and you get to see your family. You get to go back to the place where you grew your roots and remember all the good things there are about it.
9. But You Don't Want to Leave
You have finally adjusted to your surroundings you now call home, made so many friends you are used to seeing every day, and you have all the memories in your first dorm room. This is your new life, your freedom, and better yet, your place. Nothing will ever compare to living on your own for the first time ever.
10. You Don't Know How To Survive Without Your Friends
I have no clue how I'm going to make it a couple of months without seeing all of my people every day. But that is what trips are for, I guess...
