The Thoughts That Go Through Your Head While You're Procrastinating

You can't lie and say that you haven't had these thoughts before.

The Thoughts That Go Through Your Head While You're Procrastinating

This past week for college students has been absolute hell. It has been an insane amount of stress, studying, and too much caffeine. There are a lot of things that are probably going through your head while you are in this mild zone of panic and stress. I mean, I know that I was full of so many emotions, I didn't know what to do with all of them. But the important thing to remember is that when the week is over, it's completely done. You have absolutely nothing to worry about other than getting the chance to relax and go home and play with your pet if you have one. The holidays that come after finals are definitely the thing that keeps most of us going. Because of this, I have compiled a list of things that go through your head while you are trying to finish up finals for the semester.

"Hopefully the professor likes me enough to personally go in and change my grade to something higher."

"I probably should have gone to class rather than skip all those times so I would actually know the material."

"I probably should have taken notes or listened more in the class."

"There is something fundamentally wrong with packing all of my finals into one week."

"My head is too small for the amount of information that I have to cram into it."

"Is that really my 6th cup of coffee today?"

"Is it really 3am already?"

"I should really stop watching Netflix and start studying."

"I should not worry about cleaning the house now, I should probably study."

"Literally going to Walmart for no other reason but to get out of the house is not the best option at the moment."

"Death and dying would be a better option."

"I don't think I want to be in college anymore."

"Why should I pay all this money for no other reason than to torture myself during finals?"

"Do I honestly need more take out? I could just eat healthy. I would feel a lot better."

"Well, I definitely failed that final."

"I only have like 500 more words to write for this essay. Might as well wait to do it until later. It won't be that hard. "

"That was a mistake"

"I'm going to be better prepared for the next final."

"I am going to do nothing but focus for this exam and not let anything distract me."

"Well, there's always next semester."

Finals are always the worst part of the semester. But at least it's all over now and we can celebrate by gorging ourselves with food and fun with the upcoming holidays! Have a great break everyone!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
