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.
