1. You’re tired…. All. The. Time.

Between class, work, internships, clubs, homework, and an attempt at a social life, you aren’t left with much time to rest. It is like there is no longer night and day… it’s more like you have a 24-hour time frame to cram things wherever they will fit, which sometimes results in a three-hour nap at 2 p.m.

2. You fully understand the phrase “There aren’t enough hours in a day”

You are constantly busy, but seem to never fully complete that never ending to-do list that continuously grows in length.

3. Dating kind of freaks you out because the next one may just be the one

Dating used to be fun. It was casual. It was temporary. Now you’ve broken the 20 age barrier and things are starting to get real. Your next boyfriend could end up being your husband, meanwhile, you’re still spending your time binge watching Disney movies.

4. The first month is equivalent to the dark ages because… bills

The beginning of the month was exciting at one point in time. You got to turn a page on your calendar and count down the days to Christmas or summer break. Now, you’re in the real world and the beginning of the month signifies you throwing all your money away on the cost of living.

5. You have a zucchini spiraled on your Christmas list

Okay so maybe this one is just me, but this really struck home. I have a zucchini spiralizer ... ZUCCHINI. SPIRALIZER. on my Christmas list. That is all you need to know. It’s official. We are old.

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.
