Why Spring Semester is The Absolute Worst

There just something about it

As my second spring semester is in full swing, I am convinced that fall semester is completely better. Everything feels way harder and struggles seem more intense. As I’m just trying to get through it, I thought to add some humor to the turmoil of spring semester was the best choice. Here is why spring semester sucks!

Classes are definitely harder.

It might be just in your head, but you’re pretty sure the school purposely makes spring classes harder.

You’re more homesick than normal.

Although you did just get a month long break for Christmas, it just isn’t the same as being home for summer break.

The weather seems to get better and worse all at the same time.


Here in Wyoming, we had a five-day period of summer weather and then a blizzard hit us!

Your tolerance for small, petty things (or anything in general) has pretty much disappeared.

Everything about anything starts to annoy you.

There are no holidays to break up the time.

Except for spring break, many colleges don’t have any holidays during the spring, which is the worst!

Money is quickly running out.

The money you saved up from the summer was spent all during the fall semester and now you’re struggling to buy even the simplest things.

Your Netflix options are running low.

Last semester was spent catching up on everything you needed to, now you’re desperate to find a new show.

You have to start planning for the far away future.

Whether it’s looking for classes, figuring out where you’ll live the next year, or finding a job, there is so much to plan for.

You know you have to do at least a few more times.

There is no getting away from it, so best just embrace it!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
