College As Told By "That 70s Show"

College As Told By "That 70s Show"

College is supposed to be some of the best years of our lives. It is a time of exploration and self-discovery. We try to find what we are good at and try to make a career out of it.

Obviously, college has its ups and downs and "That 70s Show" perfectly describes it:

When you remember you have a paper due at midnight (and you haven’t started it)

It happens more often than we would like to admit.

When your professor cancels class

More time to sleep! Or catch up on studying or homework, but let's be real.

When it’s finals week

The time of the year when you forget everything you thought you learned. It feels like your life is falling apart.

When you have $2.00 in your bank account

“I need to cut down on the Starbucks,” you say to yourself every week.

When you have obligations and events and commitments and meetings but you watch Netflix instead.

You can give yourself a break.

When you get a decent grade on an exam

Hey, you might actually know what you’re doing! Or maybe not.

When people ask you about your life

What are you majoring in? Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? How are your grades? What do you want to do when you graduate?

When you have assignments and exams and projects that just keep piling up

Your professors are plotting against you, you're sure of it.

When you have to fight the elements while walking across campus

The weather app becomes your best friend. Is it raining? Snowing? Hailing? You have to be prepared because your classes become that much worse if you are soaking wet and freezing.

When you leave for break

Finally, a chance to breathe, relax, and spend time with family. Unless your professors scheduled an assignment.

***

But really, college is great. I’ve already grown as a person and I'm figuring out how to get my life together. Kind of.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

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.
