22 Reasons When You Know You're In A Summer Slump, As Told By "Friends"

July. How is it July? How is it the MIDDLE of July? How is summer nearly over? We're finally half way to August, meaning it's almost time to head back to school. Up until this point summer has been flying but now, not so much. For some, summer is hardly summer because of online classes, summer sessions, work, internships- but ya know, it's still summer.

It's all fun and games but then it gets to a point when that mean 'ole summer slump finally hits. It's a drag.

Here's 22 reasons when you know you're in that summer slump as told by "Friends."

1. Everything seems to suck.

2. Your mom notices this slump and TRIES to comfort you...

3. You can't tolerate your colleagues anymore.

4. Only to soon realize you're going to miss some a whole lot.

5. Food shamefully becomes a main source of comfort.

6. But you really are over doing tedious intern ~b*tch~ work.

7. You kind of feel empty inside sometimes.

8. Your friend's are starting to have a lighter schedule but not you because... poor.

9. You tend to snap quicker than usual..

10. You're so sleep deprived you become delusional.

11. You weirdly contemplate downloading Tinder again.

12. Other people hit the slump and are pathetically sliding into your DMs and you hate that you love it.

13. You almost hate seeing people have fun via Snapchat.

14. But hey, when the weirdo at the bar hits on you, you go with it.

15. Then low-key admit to yourself you wish you had a summer romance.

16. But then you realize you would rather be punched in the face.

17. Missing school hits you harder because it's your favorite place.

18. Oh, but classes...

19. ... And it's almost football season which means 8 AM drinking.

20. Then you realize you're screwed because of your tolerance.

21. The "I'm NOT crazy" feeling strolls on in.

22. But then ya remember that all slumps come to an end. Hallelujah!

Slumps happen but who cares, whatever. You're a rockstar. Stay golden. If Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, Rachel, and Phoebe-- even Gunther, can make it through, I can assure you that so can you.

It's called growing up, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Life is only going to get better, wilder, and most importantly, fun. Just let the good times roll.

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. 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.
