A College Student's "April"

Ahhhh, April. The weather is getting warmer, the quads are rapidly filling up with students trying to rid of their paleness, and summer is just around the corner. Sounds pretty perfect, right? Nope. April usually entails a boat-load of final papers, group projects that are being procrastinated, and unfortunately final exams. Yup, April doesn't seem so nice after all now, does it? For all the college students out there, you're not alone. We will all fail miserably this month together. April usually goes something like this..

The first time the temperature hits 70 degrees and you're like:

So you can finally sport the side of your wardrobe that has gone incognito for months.

But then two of your professors assign you research or final papers. Vibe killer.

Somehow you think you have it all under control, but then a group project is assigned.

On top of that study guides for final exams are now being handed out.

And then you remember that you're a broke college student who needs a summer job.

And at this point in the game, you're pretty desperate and will work anywhere.

Now your Spring weekend is around the corner, and you just wanna live.

And somehow, always, everybody except you are able to go out and you're constantly reminded through social media.


So you start stress eating because.. why not.

Then because of all the fit people around you, you face the sad realization that your summer bod is non-existent.

And with worrying about these past two things, you somehow forgot that all your assignments are due in two days.

And so all of your nights start to look like this:

And your attitude becomes a little something like this:

But hey, eventually it somehow became May and you're finally donezo.

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.

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.
