Moving is exciting. Packing isn't. Here is the thought process that occurs during a typical moving experience.

Woohoo we finally got our place.

Oh man. Now I have all of this stuff to pack

It shouldn't be to bad I don't have that much stuff

I wonder how much it would cost to pay someone to do this for me

Lets be real there's no point in looking that up

Where do I even start

Just looking at this makes me want to take a nap

Okay I'll start in one room

I promise that I will have a lot to donate

My donation pile isn't really that big

Well maybe I do need to keep this, you never know when you'll need it

Okay so I really didn't realize I had all of this stuff

Why do I have all of this stuff

I can't pack to much in this box or it will be to heavy

Send help, I have to much stuff

Regretting this decision

So many people have offered to help

I have no way to direct anyone

Lets be honest I can't even direct myself

Send motivation

Where do I actually even donate this stuff

Why do I have all of this stuff

I'm never going to finish

Ughhhhhhhhh

I'll put this off till tomorrow

Then the dialog repeats until you have packed everything. Until a similar dialog occurs when you go to unpack. The process feels never-ending. But you will accomplish it, eventually.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
