It's finals week. If you've made it this far: Congratulations! It's almost over. Even though the next few days will probably have us go through fifty shades of desperation, whatever part of us that makes it through is a rockstar. Attention! Salute the survivors of the first semester of freshman year.
Fellow sufferers,
Soon enough we will all get our first college badge: surviving the first semester. To be honest, most of us probably had a roller coaster ride, both crying and laughing our way through. Here's to the things that made this journey as hectic as they get.
1. Pulling all nighter like a pro!
Remember the time you had 2 papers, one exam, and a presentation due and you decided to pull an all nighter? Well you did it! -let's not pay attention to the zombie face you had on the next morning .. Ehm ehm-
2. Surviving the torture of those that shall not be named... *whispers* 8 am classes...
How about the time you said early classes are okay. Well, how did you like that adventure? You still did it! Even if you did have to drag yourself to class everyday, in your pjs, with the wrong paper to hand in... *or woke up in class to find no one there.. What! Don't judge*
3. Passing the happy days when you got a gift in the shower.
Oh this might be the best of all! Recall that day someone decided to be so generous and left you a gift in the shower? A token of their affection and carelessness to hygiene? Even though you probably cursed the day you decided to dorm *glares at everyone*, you still survived the pain and disgust.
4- Tolerating the three am parties your floor always hosted.
Okay okay I get that maybe this is isn't too bad, but when it turns into a screaming contest the day before your early morning class it's a tad too crazy even for you. We still learn to swallow whatever hatred we have at the moment and just go with the flow and laugh. *secretly prays to not kill anyone*
5- Rolling your eyes when the peaceful laundry room Turned into a blood bath.
Which part of do not touch my clothes no one seems to get? We get that people need to do their laundry, but when you arrive one minute late to find your cloth on the floor it's a call for arms. No matter how hard people try to keep it organized someone decides to mess it up and then everybody gets as dirty as their laundry. It's a fight for survival.. And lost clothes.
6- Living with veins that are more coffee then blood.
The ill have one cup a day plan falls apart just around your second week of college. The same time sleep becomes your second most favorite thing after the no classes email.
7- Figuring out that napping is the coolest thing ever.
We all came to know that those between classes naps *occasionally in class* are the only thing keeping us from dying. Really Sleep is important for the soul.
8- Smiling the day you started your affair with Netflix.
Whether it's cheating or not, at this point you spend more time with Netflix then any one in your life. Let's face it, it knows our needs!
9- losing track of the times you had no money.
10- Swallowing every chunk of that horrid food.
You would pay anything to get that home made food back. *cries forever*
11- Making it so far!
With all that out of our way, it's just a few more steps towards the end. This semester was never short on surprises both happy and sad. It's time to buckle these seat belts for the final ride. Remember that you made it so far with most of your sanity! Be proud, be happy, fly through finals with the least number of casualties.
