For the days when we're not out by the pool.

Phases Of Being Outside During the Summer
Wiltshire

Now that it's getting warmer and finals have come and gone, it's finally summer!

Yes, it's finally summer, the time of the year that we have all been waiting for. The days of laying out in the sun with your shades on and possibly a drink in your hand are in full swing.

But, sometimes, we're not always gonna be laying by the pool or at the beach. There are those days where it will be too hotand too humid and there isn't a body of water for us to jump in, and I feel like we've all been there.

So, here are the phases of being outside on those extremely hot days.

When you look out the window and see that it's sunny, and the weather report says that it's going to be a nice day -- no rain in the forecast at all.

You then get ready for the day. You put on a really cute outfit, fix up your hair and apply waterproof makeup so that nothing will budge.

Then, as soon as you have one foot out the front door, your hair turns into a huge frizz ball, and you have to put it up immediately. Goodbye, cute hair, nice knowing you.

After standing, or even walking, in the heat for two minutes, you're sweating profusely and desperately try to cool off by fanning yourself with anything close to you.

Instantly, the next thought that you have is:

"That's it, I'm done with the heat. I want to go inside where there is air conditioning, right now. I need the cold. I need water. I just need to be out of the heat."

You then finally find some type of ice cold drink and start to chug it immediately, hoping it will cool you down, even if it's just a little.

You retreat back home and as soon as you get inside, you sit in front of the fan and cool off for as long as your heart desires and stay inside for the rest of the day.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
