College Struggles As Told By Crying Michael Jordan

Although it's cliche, the years you spend at college are some of the best years of your life. However, college life can be difficult sometimes. There are many struggles students face on a daily basis, and there is no better way to emphasize those struggles than through the human manifestation of all disappointments in history: Crying Michael Jordan.

At his Basketball Hall of Fame speech in 2009, Michael Jordan couldn't hold back tears as he reminisced on perhaps the greatest career in NBA history. Being inducted into the Hall of Fame is obviously an accomplishment, but years later Jordan's facial expression became the epitome of sadness. Crying Jordan's face is typically used for sports-related upsets, but it perfectly emulates the grief of college struggles.

1. When you wake up for your 8 a.m.

2. When you don't know anyone in your class.

3. When you wake up too late to get breakfast.

4. When your paper is due in an hour and you haven't started writing.

5. When used textbooks are still expensive.

6. When you can't sleep but you have to wake up for class in four hours.

7. When you haven't had your morning coffee yet.

8. When you give up trying to find an open study room.

9. When the test is nothing like the study guide.

10. When your intramural team is losing.

11. When you literally can't find anything to wear.

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.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — 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.
