The last two weeks of the college term are really difficult. You have something called dead week, which is when all of the last-minute papers, exams, and projects are due. This week I have two papers, two quizzes, two presentations, and I still need to find time to feed myself and get enough sleep.
Here is what the life of a college student looks like during dead week.
1. Well, that was fantastic. I love getting three hours of sleep.
2. Do I have to get up?
3. Five more minutes should be enough of a snooze. (That's a lie, it never is).
4. T-shirt, leggings, whichever shoes I get on my feet first, and I am out the door.
5. Did I put on my deodorant before leaving or is it just my outlook on life that stinks right now?
6. I would say I am a hot mess, but if I look in a mirror, I will probably crack a mirror. Better grab a hat to reduce the blinding of others.
7. Parking is horrible because everyone is here to kiss their professor's ass before going into finals.
8. The further I walk into campus, the more I am forgetting what happiness and relaxation are. Hell, was I ever relaxed?
9. What is the biggest coffee I can buy and how many of them can I afford?
10. Is it appropriate to double-fist two venti iced coffees during group presentations? I'm not asking for a friend, this is just where we are at right now.
11. That was a waste of my time grading other people's presentations when I could have been studying or sleeping away this nightmare of a week.
12. I have two hours before my last class of the day, so do I go to my car and curl up in the back seat or go to the library?
13. Why are library chairs the worst? I hate being a good student.
14. Oh look, a YouTube video of dogs failing to catch things.
15. I have another hour until class and somehow I am now watching YouTube videos on conspiracy theories in movies and TV. How did I get here?
16. I am hungry, and I know coffee isn't food. I can't eat anxiety.
17. These peanuts look good and cheap.
18. Maybe a mozzarella stick for good measure. #treatyourself.
19. OK, half an hour to go. Maybe I will just go and sit in front of the classroom and look over notes or something.
20. Wow, look, a BuzzFeed quiz!
21. Oh, damn, class is starting. Guess I will do my actual work after class.
22. Now that class is over, I can go home and cry over my list of things I need to get done this week.
23. Now that I am sitting at my desk at home, I feel like I deserve a pizza from the hard work I put in today. Maybe a little video game break, a little Netflix. I just want to relax.
24. Sweet, it's only 9:00 p.m., I have the whole night to do a bunch of work.
25. Wait, I have what due tomorrow?
26. Oh crap, I have an online quiz, a reflection, and a presentation due tomorrow?
27. And I have a group meeting tomorrow?
28. Is this how my whole week looks? Why yes, yes it is.
29. OK, if I pound out all of this work I can get a little sleep...
30. It's only 3:30 a.m., I have time for a little bit of sleep. I hope I can feel less stressed out tomorrow.
