The Bases Are Loaded

Just a quick look on life.

The Bases Are Loaded

Now when I say the bases are loaded, I'm not talking about baseball. I'm talking about the bases in life.

This may sound like more of a blog post when I go on about being a teenage college student, but I think it's something a lot of my friends can definitely relate to. There's also so much to do in such little time. It's not even just school, it's everything and it begins to grow into stress and dealing with time management. If you don't create a time schedule for things, you soon to begin to realize how stressful things really can be. Let's start off with the college classes, well you're in five or maybe more and you have to attend class regularly so you don't miss anything, not a big deal. Then it gets to the work load. The work load can be tough when you get several assignments from each class alone. Now no one said it was going to be easy to get your college degree, overall I would say it's not too bad, you have to put in work in order to succeed.

Then we get to the part about how college students always seem to be broke and most of the time the majority of us work because we have bills to pay. Managing work and school can be difficult between trying to put in the hours at work to make money, but also to put in the hours for your school work, studying for exams, making projects, and writing papers. Work isn't always be the best because it can definitely be a stressor at times for everyone. Work is just an aspect we must deal with in order to pay for the things we must do.

One other thing to think about is having time for yourself. Everyone needs time for themselves and take themselves out of both, the school environment and work environment. You need to have some time doing things you enjoy maybe your hobbies or hanging out with friends and family. You still have to figure out how to enjoy life while doing all of these crazy miraculous things. Sometimes we need a day to ourselves so we can remind ourselves to live a little, well it is what were suppose to do we're suppose to actually be living, but how much living are you actually doing? Ask yourself that and if you can't say you've done much then maybe you need time for yourself more and consider it, even if it's only one day a week.

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.
