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.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. 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.
