10 Times College Made All Students Say 'Yep, I'm Dropping Out'
Catherine Antalis

College is hard. If you are like me, working a job, participating in extracurricular activities, and always keeping busy, it can be a lot. There have been weeks when I've had three exams, a paper to write, and a bunch of homework due all on top of working two-three days-a-week. Usually, I can handle it all, but sometimes I want to just relax in my bed with a yummy cup of tea while watching Netflix.

Whenever I get in situations like that, the only thing I know how to do is scream out to all my roommates, "I WANT TO DROP OUT OF COLLEGE!"

So, here is a list of all the times you want to drop out of college.

1. When you spend weeks studying for a test and end up failing it

Sometimes, you have to live in the library for weeks to study for a huge test, and when you get a failing grade, it really puts a damper on your thoughts about college.

2. When you forget about a huge assignment and have to do it all the night before

There are some moments when you're so busy with one or two classes, you completely forget to do an assignment for another class and have to stay up all night to finish it on time.

3. When your final is cumulative of the whole semester

Tests are hard, especially when they cover all the information you learned over the semester.

4. When you have to miss out on a trip because you have to study

All your friends are traveling to the beach or another university for a huge event, but you sadly have to stay home and study for an exam that your professor assigned you on that Monday.

5. When your professor assigns a project over a break

Everyone has that one professor who does not care about life outside of class and assigns you a project over break and wants you to suffer.

6. When all your friends are going out but you have to finish up school work

Who doesn't love knowing all their friends are having a great time out while they get to stay home and do homework.

7. When it is raining on campus

Walking in the rain to class is the absolute worst.

8. When you have class after a huge (drinking) holiday

Class after Cinco De Mayo, seriously? Professors must know what the holiday entails.

9. When you realize how broke college makes you

Groceries, alcohol, trips, events, and many more things add up, especially when you don't even have the money to pay for them.

10. When you have to take summer classes and it takes up your WHOLE summer

A class that should take a full semester but is rushed through in six weeks over the summer = a sh*t ton of work you did not think you would have.

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!

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.

winter

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.
