The Second Semester Struggle As Told By Lucille Bluth

She's how you feel. You might as well stop trying to fight it.

The Second Semester Struggle As Told By Lucille Bluth
Campus Riot

It's right around this time of year that things might be getting rough for some of us. We haven't seen the sun anymore, we lost what little patience we had for studying around the beginning of February, and you may feel like your social life has slipped into a rut. You might be feeling like a bit of a grouch, or maybe even worse, like a bit of a Lucille Bluth, a character who is the very epitome of the cynical apathy that the months of January through March bring out in all of us.

1. When your professor asks you about the reading you've long since been blowing off.

2. Remembering that spring break is right around the corner.

3. And then also realizing that your college years (aka the prime of your life) are slipping away and before you know it you're gonna be a real adult in the real world.

4. Dancing at parties and forgetting to care if you look cool or more like an ostrich having a seizure.

5. Then going to class the next morning like an ostrich that got run over by a car because daily showers are for people who care.

6. The look you give your parents when they ask you what you're doing for the summer in a tone that suggests you're not supposed to spend it with your good friends, Netflix and ice cream.

7. Insisting to your friends that you didn't cheat on your business ethics test.

8. Completely losing the motivation to go to the dining hall for food and settling for a subpar meal of PB&J in bed.

9. When your friend makes the absurd suggestion that you should try to get your lives together and maybe go to the library instead of starting a third hour of "The Bachelor."

10. Scoffing at your mom's suggestion that it's time to scale back on going out.

11. Actually realizing that your mom was right and you hate people so it's time to become a hermit.

12. Getting bored enough in a week to forget about being a hermit.

13. Watching people, who aren't smart enough to figure out that nothing really matters anymore, stress about school and work and their social lives.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
