With spring semester officially starting up, nerves begin to flare and textbooks are frantically opened. Midterms are on the horizon and college students everywhere are running as fast as they can to make it to that StudyEdge session that they so desperately need. For most of us, studying brings out our inner craziness and some pretty strange thoughts that we never would have had otherwise.
1. This is your response every time that someone asks how studying is going.
You are fine. You are always fine. Fine is a feeling, right?
2. These are your feelings after taking the exam review and basically failing it.
You thought that you were the bomb and then calculus reminded you that you are, indeed, not the bomb.
3. Why does none of this material make any sense?
You take the exam review and absolutely nothing that you learned in lecture is on it. Literally the entire book is probably on the exam, so you contemplate using your book as a pillow so that maybe the knowledge will absorb into you.
4. You truly believe that your stress has created its own island just for you to live on.
You don't even know where to begin anymore because the professor says not to study only what they say, but to know everything in the 400 page book.
5. You have reached the point of no return.
Crying under a desk and eating a pint of ice cream seem like a perfect solution after eight hours of endless calculus and no knowledge.
6. You understand absolutely and positively nothing.
You have started praying and asking your fellow peers if they know any gods or cool chants that might help you pass this exam.
7. You are just done.
We all reach the point where we just "can't even." We can't even fathom having to "even." It's just unattainable, so leave us alone.
8. You really have to stop watching Tasty's "4 ways to make" baking videos on Facebook.
Anything seems better than studying.
9. You should really get up and study, but you just contemplate your whole life instead.
10. You start dancing around the room screaming, "No no no no," because this can't be happening.
Your professor sent a lovely reminder email about the testing rooms for tomorrow and you couldn't be more unexcited.
11. You have finally finished studying and now it's time to binge watch Netflix.
72 hours later, studying is over mostly because if you read another sentence it's going to sound like complete gibberish since your brain is done. On the bright side, Netflix and ice cream are waiting on you before your exam tonight.
