A Day In The Life Of A Worn Out College Student

Is it summer yet?

The last few weeks of classes are one of the most busy times of a college student's entire year. You have more to do then you can possibly get done in the time you have to do it, and you are just over it.

Rise and shine!

More like see how many times you can hit snooze before you phone gives up on you. The morning is typically a college student's least favorite part of the day. After being awake until 3 a.m. working on projects and essays and past-due homework, the last thing anyone wants to do is wake up at 8 a.m. just to do it all over again.

Time for class!

Sitting through an hour long lecture is hard, but it's even more difficult after being awake all night. Sometimes you leave a lecture feeling like you learned everything that your professor threw at you, but at this point of the semester you are patting yourself on the back for not falling asleep or getting caught on Twitter or Facebook while you were 'taking notes.' Even your favorite classes become nearly impossible to sit through, and those classes you never liked in the first place, especially the classes in which the professor doesn't take roll, are often skipped so you can work on more projects and papers, or you may use that time to get at least thirty minutes of sleep, even if it is in common room or cafeteria.

Have I eaten today?

Sadly this is a question all college students have to ask themselves. A lot of the times the answer is no. You definitely didn't eat breakfast because you pushed snooze a hundred times this morning. Most days lunch doesn't happen either, maybe it's because you haven't had the time or you are out of dining dollars and would have to eat in the cafeteria, but forgetting to eat is a normal, daily problem in college.

Study time!

Once you get back to your apartment or dorm it's time to study because your professors don't think you have enough to do so they like to make sure you have tons of junk to get done is these last few weeks of classes. You sit down to get work done and immediately get distracted. After an hour of checking Facebook notifications, scrolling through your Twitter timeline, and browsing a million other websites you decide you should probably get something done. Typically you decide which assignment sounds the least horrible and start with that one, even though if we're honest they're all pretty dang horrible.

I guess I should eat.

After working on school work for a few hours you realize that you are starving! You will look around your house for like twenty minutes before you decide you don't have anything to eat and have to go get food. You then spend another fifteen or so minutes deciding what to go pick up. I'm really lucky to live in a great city with ample options for eating, so this is actually a daily challenge for me. After deciding you will just get Taco Bell or Cane's for the third time this week, you finally go eat food to fuel you up for another all-nighter.

Bedtime!

After repeating the "study time!" sequence of events it's once again 3 a.m. and you have finished so much work that you can go to bed, or maybe you've just completely given up. You might take a shower, or you might head straight for the bed. Of course, your body is wide awake, so you lay there and read or scroll through social media on your phone. Eventually, you fall asleep just to wake up and do it all over again.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
