13 Times Your Fall Semester Was Upside Down, As Told By 'Stranger Things'

If my professor asks where I am, I've left the country.

13 Times Your Fall Semester Was Upside Down, As Told By 'Stranger Things'
Netflix

Stranger Things season 2 was released on Netflix last week and most of us have spent our free time intensely binging it.

Even if you haven't finished your binge, you're probably obsessed with the Hawkins children and even more terrified of the upside down. As we get deeper and deeper into the semester, we're probably at least equally terrified of the final projects, presentations and papers just around the corner.

Here are 13 ways your fall semester is beginning to resemble the upside down, as told by our favorite Stranger Things characters.

1. When a professor says the words "group project."







How could you do this to us professor?

2. Looking at the calendar and realizing it's Monday...AGAIN.







The first five days after the weekend are always the hardest.

3. Struggling to get out of bed because you don't care anymore.







It's so easy to say no and stay in bed, but attendance... my grade... they're depending on me.

4. When a professor says the words "final paper" and "final exam" in the same sentence.






Final paper? Final exam? PICK ONE!

5. Waking up late, and booking it to class because you can't skip any more.







Truly the worst tragedy any of us will have to endure.

6. Running low on flex dollars and having to skip coffee some days.






How can I function if I'm not drinking coffee and not sleeping?

7. Beginning to complete work for other classes in other classes.







And not paying attention, being called on, and having everyone stare at you as you have no idea what the heck is going on.

8. Spending your free time thinking about studying about homework even though it's free time.







Free time is an illusion. Time is also an illusion.

9. Having to schedule your mental breakdowns and crying time into your regular schedule.






This is too much.

10. Spending more time in the library and study rooms rather than your room because sleep no longer matters.






Disorientation is just an essential part of life.

11. When every conversation with your friends is about wanting to sleep, being tired, or having no motivation.






We all just need a hug.

12. Basically floating through your routine, classes and activities while feeling like crap.






Trying not to cry on campus is now something you can add to your resume.

13. Crying through your assignments in hopes that it will all be over soon.






Just keep holding on. We're closer to the end of the semester than we are to the beginning of it!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
