1. When your alarm goes off for the first time since break ended.

2. That moment when you succumb to looking up research for that research paper.


3. When your professor calls on you and you don’t have the slightest idea of what you should say.


4. When someone asks you, “How did your test go?” And you know it didn’t go well. But at the same time, you don't want to talk about it.


5. What you silently think when you tell your professor they made a mistake or gave the wrong answer.


6. When someone else finally admits they were wrong about something you were arguing about.


7. Your thoughts about exercise during hell week, midterm week, or finals.

15. The moment right before you take a test, practical or final.

16. When you don’t actually have a quiz or test on the day you thought you did and you studied for it.

17. When you finished one paper, but have to write another one. But refuse to do it.


18. When that one person asks what you got as a grade.


19. When someone clearly did not put effort into their presentation and the professor starts to berate them.


20. When you volunteer to be the first to present your project or paper.


21. And then you slay that presentation.

23. When you are trying to get your friends out of your room so you can get work done.


24. When the person who thinks they know more than the professor asks a question.
