Grab a stuffed animal or friend if you have one.

1. Your bank account

It's only two months into your first semester of college, but somehow all of your money is gone. It must be wizardry.

2. Your responsibilities

At the time, it may have seemed like a good idea to join 14 clubs while working a part-time job and taking 17 credit hours. Wait, how did this ever seem like a good idea?

3. Freshman 15

I swear the brownies in the dining hall call my name as I walk by. Eating healthy is a real struggle.

4. Saturday hangovers

For all you 21-and-over peeps, the struggle couldn't be more real. No wonder the dining hall serves brunch until 3 pm.

5. This election

*shudders* I don't even want to talk about this one. It which shall not be named is closing in to seal our doom. Thanks, Obama.

6. Facing your extended family on Thanksgiving

If there's one thing I don't give thanks for, it's all the questions about my career choice and future. Believe me, if I knew the answer it would be in my Instagram bio.

7. Climate change

If you don't believe it's real, you don't believe in science. Shoutout to France for banning plastic.

8. Campus food

It's gotten to the point where all the food is starting to taste the same. Follow my lead and start emailing your Mom recipes to make when you visit home.

9. Your love life

This could go two ways. You are either forever alone or "it's complicated." Not sure which one is worse.

10. Group projects

This needs no explanation.

11. How fast time flies

We only have two months left of 2016. TWO MONTHS. I honestly feel like it's still 2012.

12. Donald Trump

It's like someone plucked a villain from a movie and had him run for president.

13. The future

I can't even decide what I want to eat for dinner tonight let alone my career path.

There you have it, the 13 scariest things imaginable. Have a good but safe Halloween everyone. Stay spooky.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

University of Vermont

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.
