Ah, the middle of a college term. You're settled into a routine, you know the groove of your classes, and you can't for the life of you seem to get on top of your assignments. The dreaded mid-term slump has returned to weigh you down once again.
Whether you're one year into higher education or several, it is very hard to be immune to this phenomenon. Oddly enough, though "The Golden Girls" is a sitcom from the mid-1980s to early 1990s about four older women, they can be incredibly relatable. Sometimes in the duration of a mid-term slump, you find yourself giving as many sarcastic replies as Dorothy Zbornak.

Whoops, I made myself homesick again.
6. "I don't know how anyone can maintain a social life in between classes and assignments."
I've been doing homework for so long that I think I forgot how to talk to other people.
8. "This migraine is the cherry on top of my life right now."

I have enough migraine medicine to last me the next five years.
9. "I wish I had some cheesecake."
With some ice cream on top? Yes, please!
10. "How was my week? Picture it: Allen Hall, 2019. It was a stormy day outside..."
I'll even throw in a piece of advice at the end that's relevant to your current problem.
