Could your spring semester schedule BE more annoying?

You've been out of school for almost a month now.

All if not most of that month was spent with family. And being with family means being home in your hometown. Which also means home-cooked meals and your laundry being done. But break is now dwindling down for most of us and even ending this week if your school is like mine. The saddest part of break ending is having to go from being home to going back to the adult world and actually doing things on your own. Which to me is no fun, who actually wants to cook themselves? Any break ending is always the worst time for me, I hate leaving my family to go be an actual adult again.

School starts and the relaxing lazy days end. Break ending is actually the worst.

When you realize that break is actually almost over 

Your mom reminded you or you got the email from school. Either way, break is ending and it is awful.

Trying to read the "pre-class reading"

Whoever invented this is awful and it truly marks the beginning of the end (of break).

When you try not to wear any clean clothes so that you don't have to do any laundry for a few weeks when you get back 

So what if you're wearing a pink bunny costume. If it means no laundry for a few weeks, it's okay.

Getting back to your apartment or dorm and realizing that your roommates broke something 

You left, the roommate stayed. They threw a party or something and broke a chair. Did they tell you, no. Did you fall when you sat in it, yes.

When all your friends start talking about the amazing trips they went on during break

You stayed home and watched TV the whole time. But you don't see us bragging about it.

Trying to spend your last few days of break literally doing nothing 

Even if you have stuff to do, you still do nothing,

Having to go back to your creepy roommate if you live in the dorms 

They're always there next to you. You don't even know where they came from most of the time.

When you get back before all your friends and are all alone 

Someone always has to be the first one back, this time it is you.

When you have to eat on your own, after having your mom feed you for the last month 

Cheese counts as milk, right?

When all of your friends are finally back 

Everyone is finally reunited and it's time to celebrate the new year!

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

winter

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.
