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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
