15 First Semester Moments As Told By Phoebe Buffay

From late night binge-eating to 8 a.m. classes and everything in between, college is like a rollercoaster that seemingly never ends. Sometimes, you just wanna jump off, and other times, you find yourself screaming along with the ride. As the fall semester nears its' end, it might be time to reminisce on some key moments that accurately portray the experience so far.

1. The confusion (and sadness) you feel when you have to leave your friends, family, and home.

And you're not sure if you will survive without your bed and a fully stocked kitchen.

2. When you want to make new friends.

But fail miserably.

3. Syllabus week, when there's no real classes and no responsibilities.

Is this what college is like all the time?!

4. When you see something for the first time that you wish you could un-see.

It's a learning experience.

5. When you try to help your friend at 3 a.m.

But this is the only thing you can come up with.

6. When you try to help your friend at 11 a.m.

Honesty is the best policy.

7. When your professor tells you that you have an exam tomorrow.

*Laughing on the outside, crying on the inside*

8. When your friend asks you for help with an assignment.

Sorry honey, I've got my own problems.

9. When you've adopted a new motto.

Something to live by for the next four years.

10. When your home friends ask you "how's college?"

And you actually mean it.

11. When you're waiting for your late night pizza.

These are some of the happiest moments.

12. When you've had enough of sharing a small box with another human being.

Because it's bound to happen at some point.

13. When this becomes the theme song of your life.

Just accept it and move on.

14. When you start to question your decisions.


They might be a little weird or crazy, but you would not survive without them.

15. When the semester is ending and you look back at all the memories you've made.

Good or bad, you'll remember it all.

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.

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.
