It's a rocky time.

No matter how much we may say it'll be different this year, we all know we're going to inevitably procrastinate with studying for midterms. It's too early in the year to care that much, right?

1. When it feels like you've been at school for a week but suddenly you're getting warnings about midterms...

It LITERALLY feels like we just got here. There's no way we can be halfway through the semester yet.

2. When you convince yourself that procrastinating on studying is still a good idea...

I've procrastinated on everything else so far this year, it'll work out just as well with studying right? Right??

3. When midterms become all that anyone talks about...

There's a point in the semester where you can't leave your dorm without hearing someone mention midterms.

4. When you start to realize that midterms in college are NOTHING like midterms in high school...

It's a whole new world.

5. When someone asks you if you've started studying yet...

*Insert nervous laughter*

6. When you ACTUALLY start studying...

You can be in the library for HOURS and still get nothing done. Trust me, it's possible, I speak from experience.

7. When you're driven to invent new ways to procrastinate...

New Netflix show? Check. Every dating app ever? Also check. When you procrastinate so often, you have to invent new methods every once in a while to keep it interesting.

8. When you realize you can count the number of hours until a test on one hand and you've barely studied...

It's especially annoying when your library closes at 2 AM and you're forced to move. Thanks, Seton Hall.

9. When it's the final hour and you're desperately trying to remember the entirety of the course content...

Trying to recall an entire half a semester's worth of work like...

10. When you haven't slept in 3 days...

Sleep is for the weak?

11. Or had time to go to the dining hall...

In favor of making ramen in your room for the fourth time.

12. Or had time to shower...

Seriously try to avoid this one. When it happens, you know you've hit rock bottom.

13. But you still have to study more...

There's this dark time, probably Tuesday or Wednesday night, when you realize you haven't seen the light of day in something like 24 hours. Things look pretty bleak, and you're not sure if you're gonna make it through.

14. When you start to think you've ruined your GPA and college career...

It's hard to not be hard on yourself when you're sleep deprived, hungry, and still don't know what you're doing academically.

15. And then when midterms are finally over, and you can finally relax...

16. ...until finals.

But don't worry too much about that for right now — you've stilll got time to continue procrastinating for a while until then. Never change, procrastinators of the world. At least not today. Maybe you can push it off until tomorrow.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
