The beginning of the semester is a stressful time. A new schedule, new professors, and new course make the whole process painful. Some start off with a huge amount of optimism, enough to make some envious, while others start fearful and stressed. No matter which one you are, once you get to a certain point you automatically become stressed and maybe even fearful. That being said, here are 15 feelings and situations I'm sure we can all relate to the first month of the semester.

1. When you think this semester shows promise

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
