6 Stages Of Your Fall Semester, As Told By 'The Fairly Odd Parents'

Nick

As the days soar you are now probably drowning in homework and there is no surprise that the fall semester can bring on a lot of emotions, luckily we are halfway there! we have almost checked out and winter break is quickly approaching. However, we still have a little while to go, but in the meantime, here is a look at the fall semester that is perfectly described in the following phases.

1. Syllabus week.

by some miracle, the Gods of college students everywhere have created one week of the year where we don’t yet have to give a shit about anything and while it's a huge joke, no one takes it forgranted because its a week of doing nothing.

2. Midterms.

the time of the semester where you get to study the material all night and forget all of it the next day. and let's be honest, you will hardly study for it since the final will be majority of your grade.

3. Cuffing Season.

ahh cuffing season, this is the part of the semester where chaining yourself to another person through the season becomes the latest trend as the window for finding a cuff buddy runs from Halloween weekend until Thanksgiving.

4. The mental breakdown ( or two..).

college is a high-stress environment and it always seems like as soon as you hit the middle of the semester you get slammed with assignments and it feels like trying to stay afloat at sea while every little thing in life weighs you down to your breaking point(s)

5. Holiday break.

we look forward to this part of the year the most, what could be better than escaping papers and exams to be home to good food and your own bed?

6. Finals.

the final countdown!. you will definitely find students late at night in the library double-fisting caffeinated beverages, and cramming only to forget everything they just studied AGAIN.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

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.
