The Second Semester Slump As Told By 'How I Met Your Mother'

I really don't think I can study anymore.

The Second Semester Slump As Told By 'How I Met Your Mother'

We all know the feeling that comes over us once second semester hits. The temperatures get colder, the days seem longer and shorter at the same time, and our motivation starts to dwindle. The days seem so dark as we turn in yet another Blackboard quiz at 11:58 p.m. We are not alone, though. We are all on the same (seemingly never-ending) journey to get those diplomas. Here are some things we all can relate to:

1. Sometimes you just can't do it anymore.

You sure can have that whole bottle of wine to yourself. Go ahead, I won't judge you.

2. There's always that one person who seems to actually have their life together.

Please don't talk to me.

3. When someone tells you that you just need to manage your time better:

GTFO.

4. When you decide to put off homework and go to Taco Bell instead:

Maybe that person was right about my time management problem... Oh well, let me finish this quesadilla first.

5. There's always that one professor you think you love, but then they assign 137 assignments for the same week.

There goes the possibility of enjoying any class ever again.

6. Sometimes you do actually try to do your homework.

Why am I doing this again?

7. You eventually start thinking of your other options besides college.

Are you sure?

8. Trying to decide between taking a nap and studying for your test tomorrow is hard.

The nap probably won.

9. Sometimes you get a little disappointed in yourself for not trying as hard as you could.

I'll try again tomorrow.

10. Then you surprise yourself when you actually get your crap done.

I knew I could do it the whole time.

11. To reward yourself for what you should have done in the first place, you celebrate, of course.

You deserve it!

12. When Monday rolls around again:

This is a joke, right?

13. But don't worry, the end is closer than we think.

We can do this. Hang in there, fellow slumpers!

There is always a time in the semester when you have about three papers, four tests, five assignments and two projects due within the same time period. Isn't that just the best?

It's almost as if the professors all plot against you just to make college even more stressful than it already is. No matter how many people try to make you feel better, no one ever compares to your mom. Moms always know exactly what to say.
