Midterms are upon us. Some have taken them, some are in the middle of them, and others are hours away from them. Whomever you are, you know the feeling. The feeling that you can slack off for the rest of the semester and it'll either be fine or end really poorly. It is just that time of year. There is no motivation to do much of anything, especially as the temperature drops. If you are feeling anything like me, the struggle is real.
1. You go to class only for the attendance points and not actually the lecture.
2. All those "required" class readings? Yeah not happening.
3. You usually rock the "haven't showered in a few days" getup.
4. Most of your assignments, if not all, are getting done only the night before.
5. You have created so much downtime doing nothing that you start a new Netflix show.
6. You genuinely don't know where your textbooks are now.
7. In between classes, you do anything but work.
8. You feel so overwhelmed that you don't feel overwhelmed anymore.
9. Your body is 90% caffeine.
10. Your study habits include Quizlet and prayers.
11. All of your friends are equally stressed and on the verge of a breakdown, so it is okay.
This second half of the semester may not always been sunshine and roses, but at least we're almost there. Halloween is right around the corner, and Thanksgiving is only a month away. We can do it!
