5 Thoughts All College Kids Have During April

No seriously, I have how many assignments?

5 Thoughts All College Kids Have During April
Megan Coltharp

There is something about spring semester that brings out a true laziness and inability to learn in most students (myself, included). Finals may be awful during the fall semester - but everything seems far more impossible mid-April for some reason.

All those assignments that you kept telling yourself weren't due for a few months are all due... tomorrow.

Somehow you have 6 exams, 4 projects, and 12 assignments all due in the next few days and your "wait till the last minute" policy has really backfired this year. At this point, you are calculating what you ACTUALLY need to turn in and how much effort you should really put in.

I mean, I'm writing an article that clearly is me procrastinating from the mountain of assignments I am staring at currently.

To waste another 5 minutes of your time so you can push off that semester-long project you just started, here are 5 thoughts all college students have during April:

1. How many questions can one ask a TA 5 minutes before the test?

At this point, you really better pray that your TA still likes you enough to answer your 552 questions.

2. Oh, I totally got this. No biggie.

My colored pens are out and I'm ready to learn 8 weeks of material in 48 hours.

3. Why did I sign up for this torture?

I think my major has decided that I'm not cut out for it. I think this is it.

5. Does the syllabus say anything about extra credit?

Me talking to my grades with only a few assignments left to turn in and not much hope left.


Well, you've officially wasted a few more minutes of your time instead of actually finishing your work. Now, get off social media and knock it out. Only a few more weeks left until it's all over. One way or another.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
