Picture this: it's the week before Thanksgiving. You have three papers due in three days. You only started one. You have four exams in four days. You know you'll fail three. Morale is low, tensions are high and everyone is ready to scream. And then, you remember: Thanksgiving is this week! Will you get through this last week? Only time will tell.

You don't think you'll be able to get through another Sodexo meal.

You've stopped caring what people think of your opinion in class anymore.

And you really, really want to scream at the kid in the library talking way too loud.

You have to convince yourself you can get through it.

You've lost your ability to find your chill.

Your friends are already home but you still have three more classes and they're sending you pictures of them together.

You don't have any motivation to save your money anymore.

Everything taught during class goes in one ear and out the other.

You and your roommate are causing a ruckus wherever you go.

Thinking about your pets during class makes you want to die.

Your squad is slowly all going down with you.

You stare at a blank word document for hours before starting.

You want to slap the person in your class that thinks they know everything.

Facetime calls with your mom look like:

All nighters in the library are slowly but surely killing you.

You left your papers for the absolute last minute and now you hate yourself.

The people in your group project are expecting too much of you.

When you finish your last responsibility before you go home:

You sit down to dinner, and you realize you made it. Go you! You can do anything now!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
