Your First Week Of School As Told By A Christmas Story

1. You're really excited for all of your classes

The night before classes started, you couldn't sleep you were so excited. All you ended up doing was daydreaming about that first day and how well you would perform in your classes this semester.

2. You read your first syllabus

The first morning of class you took one look at the first syllabus and noticed you already had like 100 pages of reading due by the next class. Okay, maybe it was only like 40 pages, but it felt like 100.

3. Your friends were already convincing you to make bad decisions

"Don't worry" they said, "we will be back by midnight," they said...

4. There are so many attractive people you want to talk to

The moment you walk on campus you see this super attractive person and all you want to do is impress them with your charm and good looks.

5. It's only halfway through the week and your semester is already headed downhill

Homework, internships, and a social life?

6. You already turned in your first assignment of the semester

You know that it was a solid piece of work because you spent a good hour or two on it in the library.

7. You already slept through your alarm and were late to class

But you oversleeping has nothing to do with the fact that you were out all night... Not at all.

8. Your professor handed back that first assignment and it definitely wasn't an A++++

So much for spending all that time on the assignment for nothing

9. The week isn't even over and you and your buddies are running away from your responsibilities

We swore this year was going to be different. But, lets face it: once a procrastinator, always a procrastinator.

10. By the end of the week, you might be a little.. Fragile

You kinda want to go home to see your pets and sleep in, and since you can't do that you're kinda on edge.

10. Regardless, you're still excited for the year to come

It's almost like christmas day, but instead of presents and candy, we have term papers and tests!

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.

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.
