When spring break comes to a close, every college student is hopeful that summer time is right around the corner. A time with relaxation and no school work in sight. However, before we can get there we are bombarded by assignments, exams and papers that seem to overwhelm us... coincidentally all at the same time. The low motivation level does not help with the excessive amounts of work. Here is how college students feel getting through the spring semester told by the characters in 'This Is Us'.

1. All of the assignments that are due in the same week

After spring break, endless amounts of homework and papers are thrown your way. Every time you think you have completed one assignment, another one is due.

2. Feeling stressed out

As each week passes by you think that it will get easier but then somehow you end up more stressed than before.

3. Trying to pretend you're still sane

When people ask how you are and you have act like you have it all together. In reality, you have 3 tests, 2 papers and are running on 3 hours of sleep.

4. Tests

Your professors suddenly want to have a test every other week on the increasingly difficult material, and all of your professors seem to be on the same page.

5. Lack of sleep

There is not enough time in the day to accomplish all of your work, so you have to fight the urge to sleep until infinity and do more work. Yay.

6. Getting anxiety about your GPA

Getting tests back and trying to think of creative ways to raise your GPA.

7. Easter Break

If you go to a Catholic University, Easter Break is the light at the end of the tunnel.

8. Procrastination taking over

You suddenly find yourself organizing files on your computer instead of facing the pounds of work you're put off.

9. Crying becomes your new hobby

Half the time you don't even know why you're crying, it just feels like the correct response.

10. Don't worry! Were almost done!

Keep the faith college students! Before we know it, we will make it to the promise land that is summertime.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

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.
