Many have called it the most exciting video of nature ever captured. This video of a baby iguana running through a gauntlet of snakes kept millions of people on the edge of their seats as they cheered for the iguana to make it. The clip is from the Island episode of Planet Earth II, and it seems more like a clip from an action movie than a nature documentary. To put it mildly, this is intense.
Easily the most stressful part of the video takes place when the iguana runs directly into a group of snakes. Just when viewers think that there is no hope left, the iguana finds a way to escape from a knot of snakes like that. The iguana's escape from this tumultuous situation could be described as nothing less than miraculous.
The fortitiude of the iguana in the clip above depicts what it means to be in college. When it is time to submit three papers, take two exams, or a combination of both during one week. It is safe to say that college students feel like an iguana wrapped up by the snakes. The key to survival is fighting through it, and perserverance. If an iguana can make it through this sticky situation, you can graduate from college.
The photo above is representative of what you will look like after you survive all the papers and exams while getting maybe 4 or 5 hours of sleep per night. In times like these, be sure to channel your inner iguana: you.will.survive.
