6 Sick Jokes Being Played This October

It's not just Halloween.....

It's October! Which means it's that time of year that everything gets weird! I know you're probably thinking, "But Laura, things are always weird on your blog, does that mean it's always October?" Well....you're not wrong! However, this October in particular is full of weird things. What are they? I'm glad you asked!

1. Clown Sightings

Someone please tell me what is going on? I don't play clown games. Why is Stephen King's book happening in real life? I'm uncomfortable. You're uncomfortable. Let's move on.

2. Midterms

Honestly, I'm blessed that I don't have any midterms this semester, but RIP to the brains of my friends.

3. The Presidential Debates

What more of a joke can you ask for on a Sunday night?

Picture this: It's middle school. Lunch time. Two kids start trying to roast each other. Plot twist...this is our political situation in 2016.

4. Halloween

Why didn't I mention this one first? Think about it...you're dressing up your kids in weird costumes and bringing them to the doors of people you've most likely never met before to take their candy. Either that, or you yourself are dressing up and getting intoxicated. Tell me why we celebrate this as Americans?

5. Pumpkin Spice Season

I'm almost positive that I mentioned this in my last blog post. 'Tis the season for pumpkin spice, and that includes coffee, cookies, AND EVEN GREEK YOGURT! (Don't believe me? Look it up.) If you're not horrified yet, you should be.

6. Allergy Season

Literally, sick.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

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.
