Procrastinating Towards The End of The Semester As Told By Spongebob

Procrastination. It’s something that we all do and are never be able to escape. However, procrastinating during college is infinitely worse than any other type of procrastination, for so many reasons. Especially towards the end of the semester, when there's an even heavier workload than usual.

At first, it seems like a great idea.

But then reality kicks in and you find yourself in at least one of the following situations.

1. Procrastinating doing one essay so that you can write a different one

2. Deciding not to study for a test in advance, but then having two tests to study for by the end of the week

3. Losing points for submitting late assignments, and then wondering why you got a bad grade

4. When skipping one class results in missing approximately 3 chapters worth of material that you have to catch up on

5. Taking way more study breaks than you should in order to avoid studying

6. Procrastinating a final project until the night before

7. Cramming for a cumulative exam

8. Taking the exam the next morning like:

9. Having a mental breakdown because of all the work you put off

10. Trying to pull together a final presentation right before class

11. Surviving on zero sleep and pure caffeine

12. Pulling all-nighters and walking to class like

13. Basically giving up on the end of the semester because you just can't take it anymore

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.
