Welcome back everyone!
Yes, it's true, second semester is officially in full swing. Classes have started. Work has really started. Tests are rapidly approaching and studying is getting more and more necessary. This time of the semester is always full of anxiety and stress, but then again, what part of the semester is not?
However, you have to admit that it is great to be back. Back at school with your partners in crime and best friends. There are so many mixed feelings and opinions that can all be very accurately described by what I like to call the "old Disney." "Lizzie McGuire," "That's So Raven," and "Kim Possible" are just a few of my childhood shows and they all know exactly how I feel...
1. When your professor assigns extra work (or any work)
All you want to do is sleep and watch Netflix but this professor is giving you all of these things that you have to do. There is just so much work written on the few pages that make up your syllabus. As you look over everything you have to do everyday for the rest of the semester, you begin to wonder if you professor realizes that you have other classes too!
2. When you're falling asleep in class
As you sit in class telling yourself to keep your eyes open because in order to do all of that work that your teacher assigned you must pay attention! As you start to doze off again all you can think about is your bed and getting back for a nap.
3. When you actually pass a test
And then that glorious day comes where all those late nights and hard work pays off. YOU PASS YOUR TEST! And you are lying if you say that your first instinct is not to break out in song like Lizzie.
4. When you and your roommate get back to your everyday routines
It is just so great to be back with your best friend do all the crazy weird and yet, to you guys, normal things. I mean who else could you wear lab goggles and make rabbit faces with?
5. When you don't want to get up for class
I mean of course you love your friends and your roommate but let's be honest, your bed is your best friend. You bed is always there to wrap you in a nice warm hug when you are stressed about all of your work!
6. When it's Friday night and you know you don't have class tomorrow
It's Friday night and you don't have to do anything but sing and dance your little hearts out! Embrace your inner Boy in Motion and enjoy your night off!
7. But then you start to think about your future
All through high school you wish for the day that you will be able to run your own life. But now it's actually here. You have to make real life decisions and it is just too hard! But embrace your inner Troy Bolton, get your head in the game, because I know you can work this out!
8. And then you finally find your true calling
With all of those incredible "Boyz in Motion" dance moves and Lizzie McGuire singing voice, an international pop sensation is obviously the best path!
9. But then you realize that that is not really an option
An international pop sensation is not the most realistic job, so embrace the bed head. But don't worry because you do have a future, out there, somewhere.
10. And then, you remember that you STILL have to do all of that work.
Take a page out of Alex Russo's book and just pretend that it isn't there. But then again, it has to get done since international pop sensation is no longer in the running.
11. When you finally get all that work done
At least for the moment, all of your work is done. No more reading, or papers to write or math problems to try to comprehend. You are just so happy that you finally get to relax! You're so happy that you feel like you could smile even bigger than Demi (if that 's possible).
12. AND YOU ARE STILL JUST SO EXCITED TO BE BACK
So kick back, get a facial, and relax. Because the stress is just starting! Get ready, second semester is in full swing!
