Let's be honest, none of us know what we're doing. If you don't feel like this guy on the daily... you're lying.

7 Times The Fall Semester Makes Us Feel Like The 'Shocked' Meme
Giphy

College is like a free trial for "adult life," and let's be honest, none of us know what we're doing. We all just kind of go along with everything and hope for the best.

So if you don't feel the level of shock that this guy feels on the daily... well then you're lying.

1. When you realize summer is over and move in is tomorrow.

Did you start packing yet? No. Are you mentally prepared to be a functioning “adult”? Hell no.

2. When your professor turns "syllabus week" into "syllabus twenty minutes, now let's start chapter one."

Yeah, that whole “sylly week”… not true. And if it actually is for you, you’re lucky.

3. When the professor says that attendance is included in the grade.

I’m paying to be here. You telling me that my showing up is mandatory makes me not want to show up even more than I already didn’t.

4. When the first exam comes around and someone in your class says they've been studying for two weeks.

And when did you start? At 11:30 last night. Are they over-achievers or are you just a procrastinator?

3. When the first exam finishes and everyone is arguing whether the answer was 25 or 23 but you got 698

Feel the panic slowwwwly start sinking in

6. When it feels like you've only been at school for two minutes but you suddenly have four midterms this week.

Time flies when you’re stressing out 24/7!!!

7. When it's already time for spring scheduling but you still don't even know where your fall classes are.

I planned out my class schedule for next semester to make me feel like I’m on top of things when in reality I have no idea what I’m doing for the classes I’m currently in now

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
