When only one more month drags into eternity

20 Signs To Let You Know You're Over This Semester
Never giving up on giving up-Word Press

o else is done with this semester? Or life? Why is the second semester so hard? And if you're a freshman, or someone who remembers freshman year, you know the freshman slump is real. But, we are SO close. Almost a month left. But that month doesn't mean much because it's still a month! It's a month where your professors decide to throw all of the knowledge at you! It's a month where you realize summer is rapidly approaching and you won't see your friends for forever. It's a month where you'll try to study your brains out while trying to fit in everything you want to do before you leave for what will feel like forever. This month will drag out into what feels like eternity... And don't forget about finals and all of the lovely papers and projects that your professors think are totally appropriate to overload on you in this ONE month. So, if you find yourself agreeing with any of the following, then you too might be over this semester...

1. An eye roll is your first response to everything

2. You just want to lie on the floor and moan

3. Sleep is impossible to get but it's all you can think about

4. You don't understand why the professors are so hard on you

5. Remembering the status of your bank account

6. Caring about your appearance has become a laughable matter

7. Food choices on campus are boring

8. Your dorm room somewhat resembles the dump


9. There are exactly one million and one things you have to get done...

10. Finishing the semester has turned into calculating grades so you know the minimum to pass

11. Skipping class is so regular, you forget that you're actually in that class

12. Realizing that coffee and other caffeine substitutes have failed you

13. Giving up on good grades also means you have to learn to be ok with the bad ones

14. Even the tiniest of tasks feels like moving the world

15. Sometimes walking upstairs is impossible because gravity is out to get you

16. You've already planned out your summer, filling it with all of the things you'd rather be doing than sitting in class


17. Paying attention in class is entirely dependent on your mood... or the amount of sleep you got

18. You have turned procrastination into an art

19. You despise those who managed to get their life together


20. You debate quitting this whole college thing, but then you realize you're almost finished with the year so there's no point now

So, remember, you're almost done. Don't give up, even though it'd be easy. And when you feel like you're about to give in, remember to breathe and chant I just have to make it to tomorrow, until it's finally all over!

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.

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.
