Halloween In College

It's scary out there!

Gone are the days of going door-to-door for candy dressed up as sparkly princesses and bed sheet ghosts. College is a fright of its own, and dressing up for Halloween is a whole new monster. Especially when Halloween is on aMonday, and you still have to go to class. Oooh, scary!

1. All of the good Halloween parties got moved to the weekend before Halloween, which means you stayed up getting spooky on a Sunday night, when you would usually be sipping tea and cramming all your homework in before midnight.

It might be the scariest decision you've made all semester.

2. You spent all weekend surrounded by girls in lingerie and animal ears or police badges like:

But you do you, ladies.

3. You've lost count of how many times you heard people quote Mean Girls.

But that's ok because it has truly become a spook-tacular holiday classic.

4. You tried to create a costume that fits your personality...

You know, who you truly are on the inside.

5. ...But nobody really understands.

Better luck next year, I guess.

6. Getting to class on a week day Halloween is pretty scary, and you can spot your hungover classmates from a mile away.

Sorry bud, no costume is gonna hide that one.

7. There's the person who shows up to class dressed up like:

Typically a freshman.

8. There's the person who hates on all the spooky fun:

Dude, lighten up.

9. Then there's the professor who comes in clutch with bonus points for the people who dressed up for class.

"Ok, five bonus points to anyone who showed up in a costume today!" *Regrets not having more Halloween spirit*

10. After a long day of classes, you and all your friends gear up for one las night of frightful fun.

Getting to that early Tuesday class is the scariest part of all.

College can be pretty creepy on its own, but Halloween is one of the most freakishly fun parts about it. Get out there and enjoy all of the spookiness, but stay safe while you're having fun! Happy Halloween!

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.

University of Vermont

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.
