13 Stages Of Sitting Through Biology Lecture, As Told By Monica Geller
HelloGiggles.com

As most students taking Biology know, this subject is not for the faint of heart. It's not that the content is incredibly difficult, but there is so much to learn in a short amount of time. We go from cellular respiration to photosynthesis, to learning the phases of mitosis and on and on. And while the content is fascinating, it would be much more enjoyable to learn if we didn't have to know it before 8 am on Friday. Luckily, we are not alone. Here's the truth about biology lectures, as told by Monica Geller.

1. Starting a new chapter is refreshing, you really feel like you will be able to wrap your mind around this one.


2. But as the professor starts explaining each concept, you find yourself getting very confused, very quickly.

3. You look to your friend and realize she doesn't get it either.

4. At some point, you're pretty sure the professor is making some of this stuff up because it seems so far-fetched.

5. And when you try to answer the one question you know, someone beats you to it.

7. Or you do answer the question, but the professor asks you to speak up.

7. Despite the confusion that came from the lecture, you're determined to go home and study the material.

8. The night before the exam is the worst.

9. But, you're determined to power through.

10. And try to remain calm in the process.

11. When you get to the test, there are some questions you absolutely remember studying...

12. Then there are some questions where you make up the answer and hope for the best.

13. Finally, you're free to go! The test is now over and you have at least a few weeks before another one comes around! Enjoy your freedom!


Keep studying, friends! It's worth the hassle!

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
