All around the country, students are getting ready to head back to class. Some of us are excited to see our friends again, others are eager to learn more and understand the beauty of their fields. Some are just excited to get out of their hometowns out in the middle of nowhere because there aren't any Pokemon around for them to go catch. Whatever the reason, by the end of the month, most of us will be back at school.

Of course, this means we're all going to have at least one thing in common: deadlines. Every semester, we tell ourselves we'll get better. We'll stay on track, read our chapters ahead of time and get everything done the day it's assigned. Then, after a couple of weeks, we're going to pull the "I'll just go to bed now and wake up early to finish this assignment" card, and buddy, once you've done that, you've already lost.

Procrastination is a plague upon everyone's houses. Even if you don't try to, you still somehow end up procrastinating, and at some point you'll remember something you were supposed to do, and your face will look a lot like this:

So, without further ado, here are some "Oh, sh*t" moments every student has had, that hopefully you can learn from this coming semester.

When you realize at 11:37 that you have an assignment due at 11:59.

At this point, you're accepting how screwed you are. Thankfully, you wrote the opening paragraph last week, so now you have something to base your BS'd essay on. However, that bibliography is a lost cause. The best you can do is slap some links on it and hope to God this is one of those three draft essays.

When you walk in to class and everyone's talking about the quiz you're about to have.

I have never felt more afraid for my life when I hear people talking about how long they studied for that test/quiz/exam that you have at the beginning of class. I have once or twice done that "how much can I cram in to my brain three minutes until class starts?" thing.

Oh God, why didn't my alarm go off?!

There have been days where my alarm either didn't go off or was too quiet for me to here. I had to choose — shower and look like a functioning member of society or look like a bum, but not have to worry about my stomach growling in class.

Did I delete the expletives from the rough draft of that essay before submitting it?

Sometimes when I can't think of what to write, I'll make a little note for myself. In all caps. And in bold. With one or two colorful swear words about how much I hate this assignment.

Did I leave my project in my dorm room?

"I swear to God, it was just RIGHT HERE. I JUST PRINTED IT OUT, OH MY GOD I LEFT IT ON MY PRINTER. HANG ON I'M TEXTING MY ROOMMATE TO BRING IT TO ME, YOU BETTER BE AWAKE." For all you roommates and/or suitemates who walk up the academic hill in the snow to bring me the paper I forgot, I love you. You da real MVP.

Wait, was class cancelled today or tomorrow?

There's nothing worse than getting ready to go in five minutes because you can't remember, only to find out that class was indeed cancelled today.

Wait, we were supposed to bring our laptops?

"I know! I'm so bummed that my laptop crashed last night — I brought it to the help desk this morning and begged them to have it ready for this class, but they said it would take at least another two hours."

When your professor reads your name on the list of people presenting, when you're not scheduled until next week.

Thanks for the heart attack, Lynda, I accept your apology for reading the wrong date.

Listen, I'm not saying that school stresses me out, but I've found quite a few snow white hairs since I started college. I'm a brunette. Even with all that that could go wrong — thanks, Murphy — I'm still beyond excited to head back in to the routine of work, class and student organizations. So, I'll just do what I do best until then. Procrastinate packing until the night before, and panic on my way to the airport and while reaching over to the back seat to make sure that I packed my laptop charger in my carry on.

Enjoy the rest of your summer, folks.
