Going Back To School As Told By "New Girl"

Winter break is over and the new semester has started. For some, this brings excitement. For others, well, let's just say that this time of year makes it hard for them to find any excitement. Nobody can relate more to difficult times than our friends from "New Girl," and here to show you are some of the best gifs that show what it's like to go back to school.

When it's time to leave your bed at home.

Possibly the hardest goodbye ever.

When it's time to leave and your parents give you the "I had to do it, too" speech.

The last thing we need as our vacation comes to a close is another story from our parents' "glory days."

When you're asked if you've done your homework over break.

Procrastination seems to spread like wildfire during the three weeks we have off.

When you and your friend are in the same class.

This spells "trouble" with a capital T for the professor, but "free copying" for you guys.

When you're forced to eat cafeteria food.

The transition from mom's homemade cooking to cold deli meat wraps is never easy, so make sure to stock up on the Kraft Mac-N-Cheese cups.

When you meet with your advisor for the first time after seeing last semester's grades.

The big GPA reveal is always surprising, so it's up to the advisors to help us do damage control.

When it's finally the weekend.

Blast that "Cotton Eye Joe." Blast it.

When your crush is in your class.

Who knew the Macroeconomics class could be so interesting?

When it's the night before your first test.

Like always, the deadline tends to sneak up on you.

When the professor's back is turned.

How dare they assign this much homework already? Isn't it called syllabus week for a reason?

When everyone got a boyfriend over break except you.

Oh, great. As if you needed another reason to hate your 8 a.m. lecture.

When the professor wants to do an icebreaker.

How about we leave those back where they belong: in middle school.

When the professor asks you literally anything during the first week.

Sorry, my brain is still somewhere in my basement cuddled up in four blankets in the dark watching "Shameless" for seven consecutive hours.

When your parents check in with you after the first week back.

No worries, though, Mom and Dad. It's all cool.

When the professor asks if they should know about any weaknesses you have.

Now, that's a class they should teach: how to make good decisions.

When you're assigned a partner.

You'd rather do icebreakers instead.

When you finish all of your homework.

Nothing says "freedom" more than an empty backpack.

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. 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.
