7 Signs You're Not A School Person

The only time I raise my hand is to go to the bathroom.

7 Signs You're Not A School Person

Let's be real for a second. Who actually likes school? I dread it and for those that also hate it, I bet you can relate to at least some of these sure signs that school is just not for you.

1. I think we can all agree procrastination is an art. However, when school is not your forte, procrastination is taken to a whole other level. You also procrastinate to the point that you miss the deadline and then you just kind of shrug it off like ‘eh, too late now’. Just me?

I'll do ANYTHING besides homework.

2. Find yourself actually looking for distractions? Yeah, that’s a sure sign you don’t want to be doing whatever it is you’re doing, duh. This is just a form of procrastination, but oh the limitless excuses!

I believe Netflix was invented as the ultimate distraction.

3. So, you aren’t doing your homework and what even is studying? This can only result in one thing. Dropping your class. And you drop it without even blinking an eye. It’ll be made up eventually, right?

Snoop Dog always has the right things to say.

4. No seriously. What is studying?

Lol. Studying.

5. I tend to celebrate when I get a C in a class. No shame for letting people know I aced my class only to have them question me: "Oh, You got an A?”. Well, not exactly, but if it’s passing its good.


That's how I reason with it. Can't be the only one...

6. You actually spend time calculating how many points you’ll lose if you don’t submit an assignment. The irony: you’re too lazy to just do the assignment instead. It’s okay. I’m guilty of this too.

Honestly, it's probably a lot of both.

7. You also calculate how many absences you used up and what would happen if you miss just one more than you should. It is a bit of work, but every once in a while you need to check in with your academic standing. Just being a good student, that’s all.

My love for school...it's not going to happen.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
