PDDD: The Le Moyne College Struggle

RIP Dolphy Day.

45
PDDD: The Le Moyne College Struggle
Jordan Reilley

PDDD... It's here and it's here to stay. Just in case you don't speak acronym, I'm talking about Post-Dolphy Day Depression, and if you go to Le Moyne College, there's a nine in 10 chance that you're feeling it right now. The sunburns have faded and so have the hangovers. Now we're all left with an OK tan, bags under our eyes, and the burning desire for the semester to just end already. So, are you suffering from PDDD? Check out these symptoms to self diagnose. P.S., this one's probably not on WebMD:

1. You feel the strong urge to day-drink...like, every day until the semester is over.

You'd be lying if you said that you didn't want to post up on a blanket in the quad and crack open a nice cold drink every time it's nice out.

2. You have lost all motivation to do any sort of schoolwork.

Now that it's over, professors want to punish you by giving you 6,000 assignments. And you want to punish yourself by procrastinating all of it.

3. You have a precise countdown until when your last final ends.

Only 19 days, 12 hours, 27 minutes and 45 seconds...but who's counting?

4. You have posted three-plus pictures on Insta because they're all too good to choose just one.

One with bae, one with the squad, and of course a cute selfie in the sun with your drink in hand. The world deserves to know that you had the best day ever.

5. You have a strange craving for those low-qual burgers and hot dogs.

They might not taste as good now as they did during Dolphy Day, but that doesn't mean you don't want more...plus, they're free, so no complaints.

6. You find yourself saying "but what if we just had a second Dolphy Day this year?"

NEW TRADITION, ANYONE? If only I was the wizard...

7. When you see someone's skin peeling from a sunburn, you literally feel their pain.

It's like you have this weird, sunburned bond now. Hey kid I sit next to in class, I know how it happened, bro, and it was well worth it.

8. You (and everyone else) have tweeted about how there's nothing to look forward to now that it's over.

But really though, you're not lying... It's all downhill from here. Until summer, that is.

9. You and your friends have been talking nonstop about what happened (or trying to put the pieces together).

Things might be a little blurry. (Did I like, steal someone's torch? DID I REALLY HOOK UP WITH THAT GUY?) But it's all a part of reliving the fun.

10. You look at your huge, duct-taped cup and cry a little.

It might still be sort of sticky, and in that case, maybe it's time to just throw it out. But really, even if it's empty, that smelly, taped-up, gallon-sized jug is actually full of memories.

11. You'll be counting down the seconds until the next one rolls around.

Unless you're a senior, in which case, good luck adulting and stuff. I'm sure as hell not ready for that.

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.
