Struggles of a College Student

Second Semester As Told By Family Guy

College is really tough. First semester is hard enough because you've been off for three months for the summer, but second semester is definitely harder. We had only one month off of school, which is basically a tease. Right when you get used to waking up late and the freedom of having no classes or homework, it's time to go back to school. Waking up at 8 AM after a month off for Christmas break really isn't my cup of tea. It was hard enough leaving my family and friends back home, and now I have to actually wake up before noon to attend classes and do homework. Here is my perspective of second semester as told by Family Guy.

1. Although you missed all of your friends, you really aren't ready to wake up at 8 AM for a full day of classes.

So instead, you sit in bed contemplating if school is really worth it.


2. You go to your first day of class, which is "Syllabus Day."

When you find out that your professor doesn't take attendance.


3. But then your professor says there will be a group project and you don't get to pick your partner.


4. But (luckily) you get partnered with your best friend to complete the project anyways.


5. Coffee

Before you begin talking about any project, homework, or anything else for that matter, you must have your (second) daily dose of coffee.

6. Not even coffee can get you through lecture classes

Those are the absolute worst.

7. You know what sucks more than lecture classes? Mondays.


8. And if there's an exam on a Monday morning, you can forget studying.

But by some miracle you got an A.


9. If someone reminds the teacher about collecting homework, you immediately hate them


10. Being in college also means being in debt

So, checking your credit card statement is always disappointing.

11. Food

But let's be honest, half your money went to buying food. So, forget the freshman 15. It's more like the junior 30.


12. Since you've gained some weight in college, you try and get your daily exercise in before bed



13. When your professor tells you there is no study guide for the cumulative final


14. Then you reminisce about when you were a kid who so desperately wanted to grow up

And now you're like, "What was I thinking?"

Although college is tough and requires hard work, I've definitely met some amazing people and wouldn't change it for anything. Despite all of the studying, college is fun. I mean, college is supposed to be the best times of your life! So, enjoy it. And maybe you should try studying for those exams next time. Or not. Either one.

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.

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!
