The First Month Of College As Told By 'The Big Bang Theory'
www.independent.co.uk

For most of the college students out there, they've been back at school for about a month. While it's great to be back on campus with friends, classmates, and activities, being back at school brings tests, quizzes, homework, stress, caffeine, and a lack of sleep. College is great, but it definitely has its ups and downs. While scrolling online one day, I noticed a multitude of things referencing TV show titled "The Big Bang Theory." I sat back and thought about all the wonderful references that could be made to college! So here is just a short complication of thoughts, feelings, events, and emotions that might occur during the first month of college told by "The Big Bang Theory."

*Stepped onto campus for first day of classes* "Let's do this!"

Your professor said attendance was optional.

You showed up to class during the first week and there was a pop quiz. No worries; you aced it.

But wait, there was that one time you didn't do the reading and you failed the quiz. Oops.

You put off homework until the night before it was due, but you finished and even had time to sleep before class.

You asked your professor for help because you didn't understand a concept and they looked at you like:

College started to get a little stressful, so you decided to try new activities to relieve stress. You might still be finding what's best for you.

How you answered when someone asked you what was stressful about college.

Classes started to get a little, or a lot, harder.

You didn't just have one panic attack, you had a few.

You had to pull an all-nighter. The look you gave your roommate(s) when they found you:

You finished a gigantic assignment in time for class, but professor decided to change the due date.

That moment when all you wanted to do was avoid every responsibility and obligation.

What you did and how you felt after an exhausting day.

That feeling you had after studying for hours for a test and you still don't feel good about how you did.

This thought happened around week 3.

When you warned the freshmen about college. (But in all reality, it isn't that bad.)

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. 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.
