The Last Part Of The Semester, As Told By Ben Platt

He's just so pure.

The Last Part Of The Semester, As Told By Ben Platt
Just Jared

Ben Platt is a precious gem that nobody deserves.

If you don't know Platt, he is most recently known for playing Evan Hansen in the new hit musical "Dear Evan Hansen."

He's quirky, he's funny and he's insanely talented.

So, who better to describe the final month of the spring semester?

That initial moment when you realize it's April! LDOC is just a few short weeks away! The class that's killing you will soon be over!


...And then the deadlines start coming in. Projects are loaded on. You're drowning in papers. And don't forget those late midterms that professors love to give.

When you start lying to yourself and say that you're going to get everything done the next weekend.

But then, that amazing moment when you actually make it to the library and knock out that five-page paper!

That moment when you sadly look at your grades to try and motivate yourself...

...and you seriously consider dropping out for, like, the 100th time this semester.

When your friends pick you up and remind you that there are only a few days left!

And finally, when it is LDOC at last, and you're looking back at all the deadlines you met. You picked up your grades, you're happy again, and it's t-shirt weather.


Good luck Tar Heels, you're on the home stretch!

And remember, listening to "Dear Evan Hansen" will always put you in a good mood (go check it out if you haven't yet).

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
