11 Feelings Every College Student Feels At The End Of The Semester

It's almost the end of April, which means that the end of Spring semester is close!

Every college student will tell you that Spring semester goes by way slower than fall semester does. Probably because at the end of spring semester, you get to look forward to a three-month break, or graduation even.

So, it's the end of the semester and...

1.You just now realized that there's not that much time left in the semester.

You probably looked frantically at your calendar after reading the headline for this article, thinking there's no way that it's almost the end of the semester. But alas, we're reaching the finish line of the semester folks.

2. You have zero motivation

There's only a couple more weeks left, but you have absolutely no motivation to go to class, write that paper, go to group meetings, or lets face it, even get out of bed to eat or shower.

3. Any amount of sleep you get just isn't enough.

You could sleep for a whole day straight and you still feel as though you're a zombie.

4. Most of the money you're spending is on either caffeine or snack foods.

Let's face it, when finals hit, you probably haven't had a real meal in a few weeks. You've been living off of coffee, soda, Red Bull, and chips exclusively.

5. The financial aid money has finally run out.

So that money you're spending on chips, coffee, and soda? It either doesn't exist or you're getting closer and closer to having only one cent in your account so that your bank doesn't give you overdraft charges.

6. You have no social life.

If it weren't for them sitting silently next to you in the library while you do homework together, you'd have probably already forgotten what your friends look like.

7. You realize you probably should've been paying attention in that boring class.

You get the final exam study guide or the guidelines for the final paper and realize you probably should've been spending more time paying attention in lecture than online shopping.

8. You start making a list of shows to binge-watch over break.

Break is the prime time to be able to watch 48 hours of "Grey's Anatomy" and not feel guilty later for missing class because of it.

9. You've Googled careers that don't require a college degree.

Let's face it — we've all questioned at least once why we're putting ourselves through at least four years of stress. But then you take a class you love, and you remember again.

10. You lay on your bedroom floor a lot.

Or any floor really, contemplating life, counting the number of dots on the ceiling, trying to decide what to do.

11. You procrastinate a lot.

Anything to keep from doing your homework. Like you're reading this article, when you probably have two essays and a test to study for.

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.

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.
