April has begun and so have the loaded amounts of blooming work.

It seems when the semester begins, the professors take it light and give few assignments. Then the month of April shows up and so does the piles of assignments. Plus, the increase in hours at the library are a blast.

A professor would think to spread out the work over the semester but that is mainly a joke. A girl's Erin Condren or Lily Pulitzer, is filled with assignments and papers that are due in a week. It seems as though you are seeing more tests now than you have in the past three months basically.

Stress has began to hit and you have to decide whether or not to take a nap or eat. But let's be honest here, majority of the time somehow you will get both in. Or you lose sleep that night so you can get that nap in from earlier in the day. Also, have to plan a melt down because you need time to do that and eat a piece of chocolate afterwards.

Somehow in January when you see the syllabus you think to yourself that you will get ahead and not have this problem. Then things change and you start to slip behind on this plan to be "ahead". You have this optimistic feeling that at the end of April, there won't be piles of home work due from you slacking or putting it off. Plus, you also said you would stay in shape this semester.

The difficulty of wanting to study, workout, eat healthy, be in organizations, hangout with friends, go to class or have a job, is a hard balance. It seems as though you can only pick two or three from the list and balance them out.

College is stressful and sometimes it is pointless to have the assigned homework. They seem pointless yet the professor has some "point" to assign them. While you are thinking to yourself in the library for the past hour, " How am I actually going to use this in the real world?" At least I think that to myself everyday doing some of my homework assignments in the library.

All college students at one point or another have decided that they would be on top of their stuff in January. Then February and March comes in and we have pushed off that one major paper that is due at the beginning of April. We pull an all-nighter to finish that paper and need coffee in the form of an IV bag. But somehow you pull magic out of your back pocket and get an A on the paper.

College as many people put is a four to five year period of your life to see how much you can do without sleep, majority of the time. It can be a rough period but at the end of it, it will be well worth it.
