At this point in college, most students are preparing for or are taking their midterm exams. As if exams were not enough, we get thrown projects and assignments from every angle until we have no empty space in our planners. That being said, here are eight gifs that perfectly describe midterm week. The good (just kidding there is none), the bad, and the ugly.


1.

Every time you finish one assignment, another one is loaded up ready to hit you in the face. Midterm week never really ends, and you never feel accomplished. You cross off one thing on your planner just to add an assignment your professor decided to add to the syllabus due this week.

2.

There are barely any seats in the library and when you finally find someone from your class, you both stare at each other with the look of defeat and despair. Does anyone ever know how to study for midterms?

3.

The day of midterms has arrived and you head to your exam with coffee in hand. There is look of determination in your face, at least until the teacher hands out your test.

4.

There are some famous teacher words we hear around midterms and finals, "There is no need to panic." So professor, when is the correct time to panic? Before, during, or after the exam? My response: all of the above.

5.

Sometimes you just need a bit of encouragement for your exam. However, writing on your hand is usually frowned upon. I recommend post it notes of encouragement all over your desk.

6.

So, you finished your midterms and your roommate asks you how you feel. I'd say this gif is a pretty accurate description of sorrow.

7.

It is the end of midterm week and students start to receive grades. There are always two kinds of people: those who do well and those who don't and well this is pretty accurate.

8.

When someone asks the teacher what to do with their midterm.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
