The End Of The Semester As Told By Harry Potter

You want your GPA to be above gas prices. You want to take a nap. You want to cry. You want to make that C in chem an A. You want a large, stuffed pizza all to yourself. You’ve worked hard. You deserve a break. Your professors don’t think so, but you do. Alas, you’ve been assigned thirty-eight papers due in two weeks and have midterms (which may as well just be called “weekly exams”) every day for the next eighteen days. It is frustrating. It is tiring. It is the home stretch. Let's ride, boys.

1. Just when you think “t God, no more new stuff to learn” your professor hits you with a new lesson that will, in fact, be on the final exam.

2. When all you want is to take a nap.

3. When you think you know everything that’s going to be on the final but then get the study guide and realize that is not the case.

4. When dropping out suddenly seems like an option.

5. When you want to go home but don’t think you can handle a whole three months with your siblings.

6. When you realize you have to move out of your dorm and stop living with your new best friends :’(


7. When you realize you only have four weeks to try and save your GPA.


8. And when you try you realize you just cannot do it.

9. When you see snapchats and instagrams of your friends who are already on summer vacation.

10. When you suddenly finding yourself eating anything and everything in sight even though you SWORE you were going to work on your #beachbod

11. When you look at the social events going on and try to go to all of them because pretty soon you’re going to have to wait a whole summer to that frat but then you realize ain’t nobody got time fo dat.

12. When all-nighters and, consequently, coffee, become your new best friends.


13. When you start packing your things and all you have left is something you’d never be caught dead in.

14. When you desperately look for that extra credit15. And then realize there is none.

15. When you get to the final and look at the first question and swear that you've never heard of anything like this.

16. When finals are over and you’ve got mixed feelings about another year of college being over.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.
