The Stages of Coming Back to School After Spring Break

1. Excitement

YAY YAY YAY YAY I get to see all of my friends again. I can't wait to see all of my buddies. I can't wait to do things with them. I miss them so much.

2. Refusal

Wait. This was a mistake. I don't want to be back. Can I get a pause button for life? I can't. I need another break.

3. Confidence

Okay. I can do this. We're in the last stretch of the race. I've made it this far. I can't die now.

4. Concern

Trying to get through classes and homework without crying is not as easy as it sounds. I don't think I can do this. This is painful.

5. Anxiety

Three papers, two exams, and twelve homework assignments??? Sure, keep the work coming. It's fine. I'm not drowning in school work or anything.

6. Nostalgia

Summer where are you?? I miss the days where I could just lay in the sand, bask in the sun, and not worry about what the tenth derivative of a natural logarithm is.

7. Contemplation

So if I drop out of school now... how many years would I have to survive on my own before I marry rich? That's the new plan: marry rich. I'll be fine. Right?

8. Acceptance

Life is good. I'm almost done with the semester. The hard part is almost over. Just a few more weeks and I'll have three months to relax and not have the weight of a full time student on my shoulders.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

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.
