Why Your Second Semester Of College Is Worse Than Senioritis

I thought senioritis was the worst feeling I could experience until I got to my second semester of college.

I didn’t think anything could be worse than senioritis…I WAS WRONG! Second semester of college your freshman year is just as bad, if not worse. Here is why…

1. Spring Parties

Yes, there are parties in high school and your senior year there are tons of graduation parties, but nothing comes close to spring party season. Instead of doing your homework, laundry, cleaning, or anything actually useful, you spend your time going to darties (day parties) and avoid the adult things you should be doing.

2. No Parents

In high school you are blessed by your parents reminding you to do your homework, clean your room, and study when you get lazy due to senioritis. In college you have total freedom. So when you want to watch Netflix, sleep, eat way too much junk food, or spend money on things you really don’t need, there is no one there to stop you.

3. Baseball Season

GOD BLESS BASEBALL SEASON!!!! In college, baseball games like to range anywhere between 11 in the morning to 7 at night. If there is a day game, and it’s nice outside, it’s not uncommon for students to skip class to go to baseball games because nothing beats a day game! I’m not saying that I support it, but I may have done it once or twice. (Mom and Dad, if you’re reading this, I’m sorry.)

4. Realization

Sophomore year is approaching and the “thrill” of college in gone. You realize that you aren’t in college to party, and that you are actually in school to get a degree and learn. In high school when summer is approaching everyone is so excited because it means graduation, summer vacation, and college is right around the corner. Sorry to break your bubble but it’s just more school and more responsibility.

Don't get me wrong though, college is great and you only get one freshman year. It's enjoyable and it flies by so enjoy it while it last!

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!

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.
