Here, at the University of Southern California, many of the students are Angelinos. Therefore, when they see water coming down from the sky, they act like the apocalypse is finally upon them. Then, there are the others–the ones who have actually seen rain because they're from a place with seasons (i.e. the rest of America), but they've been here so long that they've forgotten what it's like. Or, they have never had to walk to class in the rain before.

Since on average it only rains about 14 inches per year, which is nothing, everyone's gotten used to hearing things like this:

But when human beings have to actually function and Los Angeles is #blessed with such weather, the thought process goes more like this:

1. "What is this? Why is water falling from the sky?"

2. "Must. Snapchat. Rain."

3. "Does this mean the drought's over?"

4. "This weather actually matches my mood every day I have to wake up for class."

5. You consider skipping class and emailing the professor this gif.

"Sorry, had to miss class to celebrate the end of the drought."

6. "Wait, I can wear boots and sweaters!"

7. "Okay, I'll go to class only because I get to look cute."

Unfortunately, nobody looks as good as Selena when drenched in water.

8. "Ugh, traffic is gonna suck."

9. "My laptop's going to get wet, too."

10. "I don't own an umbrella. Do they even sell them in California? I can't afford the ones at the bookstore."

11. "Getting on my bike means it's time to get pelted and stabbed in the eyes by water."

12. "Ugh. I can feel the nature through my clothes."

13. "I wish I'd stayed in bed."

14. Splashing in puddles:

LA really isn't built for this.

15. You see someone running for exercise in the rain and it's like this:

16. "So much for looking cute. I'm pretty sure my hair looks like Chewbacca came in contact with a taser."

17. "Literally, everybody smells like wet dog."

18. "I'm going to leave a nice wet butt stain on this chair."

19. "The sound of the rain is so soothing. Maybe I'll close my eyes for a few minutes."

20. "You know what? I could get used to this."

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.

winter

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.
