We are all used to the struggle of wanting that perfect GPA while maintaining a social life and having time to relax as much as we want to. That never seems to be the case in college, yet we repeat the mantra every semester. "No procrastination this semester, I will keep an eye on my expenses and I will get the highest grades in all of my classes." In case you haven't yet had the experience of a typical college semester, here are a few songs that when put all together depict the ups and downs of those four months.
1. "Confident" by Demi Lovato.
Oh, the first day back. How sure we are that this semester will be the semester! You will make every class, every assignment will be done a week in advance, and your money will only be spent when necessary. Don't pretend you don't say it every year.
2. "$ave Dat Money" by Lil Dicky ft. Fetty Wap
3. "I Love College" by Asher Roth
We can't deny that the first weekend back at school is probably one of the best! With parties like those how could this semester not be a good one?!
4. "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars.
It only takes a syllabus week for us to retreat back into our Netflix and napping ways, because you can get that 1- page paper done the night before. Don't worry about it! Go out and have a few drinks, and spend that necessary money!
5. "Under Pressure" by Queen.
It starts to become all too real. Assignments pile up, group members don't hold their share and your bank account is beginning to represent your motivation, which is zero.
6. "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga
Although you already know you're not going to make it out of this semester alive you won't let anyone else see you struggle. Just smile and wave, smile and wave! Nothing lasts forever... right?
7. "Stressed Out" by Twenty One Pilots.
Well, now you've completely surpassed your threshold of acceptable procrastination and now finals are only weeks away! Now that you have no more money to bribe your teachers with, the only thing left to do is actually study. *gulp*
8. "Pray to God" by Calvin Harris ft. Haim
When all else fails at this point and we have to call for a higher power.
9. "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey.
The sad reality that the only thing between you and your summer is that dreaded final. It's so close, but only a biology lab report away!
10. "Bye bye bye" by 'Nsync
Finally, it's time to say goodbye! Goodbye to friends, to classes that you're hoping you didn't flunk, to cafeteria food that never quite tasted right and to uncomfortable beds...until next semester!
11. "Sorry" by Justin Bieber.
Lastly, it's time to say sorry to your parents when your grades come in. Hey, just remember next semester is the semester!
