Every college student spends the better part of each day wishing for the end of the semester, but there comes a point when we don't just wish for it... we absolutely need it to be over if we hope to continue surviving. Between the papers, the group projects, and the impending threat of finals week looming over our heads, there's a time when all of us are so physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted that enough just has to be enough. That time is now. Here are 14 signs that this semester absolutely has to end.
1. Everyone you pass on campus has the look of defeat.
We're all in this together.
2. Wal-Mart is putting out its Christmas decorations.
If it's Christmas at Wal-Mart, it's Christmas everywhere. I don't make the rules.3. You have lost the will to put together actual outfits.
If it gets bad enough, your Uggs might even make an appearance.
4. You're averaging around two emotional breakdowns per week.
5. All of your dining dollars are long gone.
Buying Chick-Fil-A for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the entire month of October sounded like a great idea at the time.
6. You're questioning your life goals for the 54th time this school year.
Do you really need to have goals and aspirations? Are they worth it?
7. The pros and cons of dropping out have become a hot topic of conversation amongst your friend groups.
You don't really need college. Working at McDonald's is a great job... all the chicken McNuggets you could ask for.
8. Sleep is a foreign concept.
Sleep? Can you spell it? Define it? Use it in a sentence?
9. You've started adding up all of your grades to see how awful you can do on your finals and still pass your classes.
You're Babe, and your GPA is the farmer.
10. Professors have also started giving up.
Emails go something like: "Class is canceled Sent From My iPhone"
11. It's become normal to eat Insomnia Cookies for dinner.
Maybe if you order one oatmeal raisin you'll get some protein or like a vitamin or something.
12. "How is school going?" tends to earn one of these looks.
I haven't slept in six days, I've gained 14 pounds, and my hair is falling out, but everything is great Aunt Trudy.
13. Certain classes become optional.
If it starts before 10 a.m. your attendance should be seen as a pleasant surprise.
14. It's just.... it's time OK?
We're dead, we're tired, we're starving.... just free us.
College has its ups and its downs, sure, but when November rolls around it's really just time to end the struggle. At this point we are all just wandering around waiting for Christmas break to come and put us out of our misery. Just let us struggle through all of our finals so we can call it day. We are broke, we are over it, and we just want to go home and eat Pilsbury Christmas tree cookies with our dogs. Is that too much to ask? Winter break.... please hurry.
