The beginning of the semester is always that special time where you have so much energy and so many good intentions. The end of the semester is always that special time where you get no sleep and live off of coffee.
End: Calculating what you need on your final to pass the class
Because it's the end of the semester and you are burned out.
Beginning: Having really awesome notes
They are the best notes ever. Give yourself a pat on the back.
End: Your notes are just smudges
And when you get to the test, well... you don't remember ever seeing anything.
Beginning: Always doing your work early
And you never have to worry about two things. Only one.
Beginning: Looking nice every day and getting to class 15 minutes early
It takes a little while for you to get used to dressing up every day.
Beginning: Diligently paying attention in lectures
You are so excited to learn so many cool things.
End: Texting your friends in class
Honestly, you need lots of reassurances by the end of the year.
Beginning: Always being prepared early
If you need help, you are able to ask like a week before you really need the help.
End: Cramming
You think you would have learned, but getting three hours of studying before the exam is fine, right?
Beginning: No TV until you finish your work
Although let's be real, you really want to watch something.
End: Falling asleep as you Binge watch a show
Without ever having so much as one glance at your homework.
End: You feel like giving up
But in the end, you realize that so many hours of work only accounts for just a small amount of production. Ben's claymation video was a lot shorter than he expected.
Just remember that you are always that much closer to graduating AND C's get degrees.
