12 College Student Struggles At The End Of The Semester

1. Your academic advisor has seen you break down enough times to be considered a close friend.

"I haven't slept in 48 hours and I'm considering leaving college forever. Advise me."

2. The GPA calculator is in your recent search history.

"I can make one D, four As and two Bs and still get above a 3.0."

3. You've thought about dropping out of school and hitchhiking across the country as a new-age hippie because "money doesn't buy happiness."


"I mean, the Amish seem pretty happy doing their own thing."

4. You've thought about dropping out of school and becoming a high-end stripper because, of course, money buys happiness.


"So, I'm thinking about changing my major to something a little more lucrative."

5. Netflix is both your savior and downfall.

"I'll just take a movie break. A two-hour movie break."

6. Every night not spent at the library is one wracked with guilt.


"How can I be sleeping when I have my test that determines 40 percent of my grade in three days?"

7. That 2 a.m. kick of productivity when your circadian clock is out of whack.

"I need to clean my house and meet with my professorright now."

8. You're positive that at least one professor has a personal vendetta against you and wants to ruin your life.

"It's because of that one time she caught me texting in class, isn't it?"

9. Any fun extracurricular event feels like a sick joke to have been planned this close to finals.


"They're mocking me. They would have it the night before my worst exam."

10. The stereotypical procrastination Instagram post.

"#TBT to happier times."

11. At least one of your classes has gone from being a required course to the fifth circle of Hell, circa Dante's Inferno.


" Fire and pitchforks? Or ecology?"

12. Yet, somehow, you're more broke than before.


"The more stressed I am, the less money I have."

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!

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.

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.
