Let's be real: spiders are terrifying. They are evil spawns of Satan. Whenever I see one I immediately scream until someone else comes to kill it. What did you say? People are supposed to catch spiders and then humanely release them in the great outdoors? Nope. Sorry, bud. They deserve to die. Here are the ten things I would do if I just so happened to find one in my bed.

1. Begin to cry.

I feel like this does not need to be explained.

2. Change my name and move to Iceland.

I would have to remove myself from the situation. You know, be as far away as possible? Iceland is pretty far.

3. Time travel to 1864 to ask Abraham Lincoln if I should set my bed on fire.

I just feel like he would give good advice. He would be super honest with me about the situation and I feel like he would definitely tell me to set my bed on fire, thus ending the life of the spider.

4. Actually set my bed on fire.

If this happened, then Abe either agreed with my reasoning and shared the same fear of spiders or told me it was a bad idea. Either way, there is no doubt I would set my bed on fire if I found a spider.

5. Pour hot coffee in my eyes.

Yes, I might have permanent eye damage, but at least I will never see another spider in my bed.

6. Fling myself into the sun.

No explanation needed.

7. Cry some more.

Wait, did I say this already?

8. Apologize to Spider-Man.

I mean, the spider was probably his friend.

9. Buy a new bed.

Actually, before this, I would probably call my mom and tell her I was sorry for over-reacting and setting my bed on fire. Then I would buy a new bed.

10. Try to move on from the traumatic event

After doing all of these things, I would have to move on by getting into my new bed (in my new house in Iceland) and by praying that I would never have to go through this again.

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.
