After a long and chilly six weeks, it's finally time to get back to the Q. You're excited to see your friends and get settled back in, but classes are closing in. Once you realize you have an actual class with actual homework to do in the next few days, you'll probably come to the conclusion that you are incredibly unprepared for this traumatic and sudden change. Goodbye sleeping until noon, hello 8 a.m. classes!

1. You have to set your alarm on Sunday night.

This alone could make anyone scream.

2. Once your alarm is set, you realize you actually have to go to sleep at a decent hour.

But, I haven't finished all 23 episodes of this season! You want me to wait... until...tomorrow?

3. You finally fall asleep around 2:30 a.m.


Your body just isn't ready for this transition.

4. You wake up from your stupid alarm and hate your life...and your alarm clock.

How does anyone do this on a daily basis? I am clearly not ready for the real world.

5. Scrambling to find clothes, the first class of the semester starts in 20 minutes, and it's all the way in the communications building.

Why did I do this to myself? I knew the day I was registering this would be a bad Idea.

6. Finally finding your most comfortable shoes to go with your leggings and sweatshirt super-outfit, you're running out the door.

I can do this. I have done this for three previous semesters. Today will be my day.

7. You slip on ice because...well it's winter now, and that means watching where you put your feet.

I did not see this one coming.

8. After nearly face-planting, you pull yourself together to run across the quad and get yourself to that very first class.

Wow, that would've been really embarrassing if I cared at all.

9. You get to your class on time and sit in what will be your official, unassigned seat for the rest of the semester.

At least, I got the desk that doesn't do that weird squeaking thing.

10. Your class starts and the teacher is only going through the syllabus.

Which is great because you have to catch your breath before doing anything productive.

11. Once this class is over, you realize you have three more classes... and an entire semester to get through.

But 2016 will be my year...right?!

Good luck on the first day of classes for your spring 2016 semester!

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

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.
