Yes, you read that right. We have somehow made it halfway through the semester already. Now we have the homestretch, and it's so close I can taste it. While it's pretty exciting to think that we get a break in a little bit, it's also slightly terrifying. The mix of emotions doesn't help the midterm stress, but at least our feelings can be expressed through gifs.

1. It kind of feels like you're flying, while still being dragged down by the coursework that's getting progressively harder.

Just remember that you are a beautiful bird. Sort of.

2. It feels like anxiety is now normal.

Getting into the flow of how hectic school is has become second nature. Pulling all-nighters, consistently worrying about your next test, and cramming in last-minute paper writing is 100% normal now. It's fine!

3. It feels like your life is going by in fast motion, but also so painfully slow.

It's so weird how when you're in class it feels like minutes are hours but then you wake up one Friday morning and realize you've already gone through another week.

4. It feels like you're never going to make it.

It's...only...been...nine...weeks???????????????????

5. It feels like you might actually cross that finish line.

Pretty successfully, too. You've made a lot of progress in a couple months.

6. It feels like you're homesick.

The holiday season is coming up and that means that home is beckoning to you along with always done laundry, not-processed meals, and some alone time to unwind with some of your favorite people in the world.

7. It feels like you're having withdrawals from the first half of the year already.

Can you miss something when you haven't left? The answer is yes. It's always a good time when you're with #squad.

8. It feels like you know that the next nine weeks are going to be even better than the first.

There is still quite a bit of time to go. That's a lot of time to make even more memories.

Being halfway through the semester is thrilling and terrifying at the same time. It's okay- we can panic and simultaneously party together.
