Daaamn college, back at it again with the midterms. No sleep, 12 cups of coffee, late library sessions; please make it stop. Midterms are basically a reminder that you’re halfway through the semester and that you need to get your sh*t together. Sounds fun, right? Not really. Cramming a whole bunch of homework, papers and studying is exhausting. Balancing extracurricular activities on top of it all is even more exhausting. No wonder why college students are basically walking zombies.
When midterms roll around, we all hop on the struggle bus. But always remember: no matter how stressful, tiring and frustrating it can be, hard work pays off. Here are 14 thoughts you may have when you’re studying for your midterm.
1. I need to stop procrastinating.
Procrastination station is my favorite stop. But I can’t stay there too long.
2. Professor said the test is cumulative. Rude.
You’re tellin’ me that I have to know everything from the beginning of the semester up until now? Bye, Felicia.
3. Ok. When did we ever learn this?
No really! When?! Did I miss something?
4. A quick study break won’t hurt me.
Studying for more than five minutes calls for a 20 minute break. Then we start all over again.
5. I’m hungry.
But then again, when am I not?
6. Stress eating calories don’t count.
They just don’t, okay?!
7. Maybe I’ll take a nap.
And by nap, I mean sleep until tomorrow. Don’t wake me up.
8. *Scrolls on Facebook and Instagram*
Because I really need to see who posted a new pic of their food.
9. I need coffee. Even though it gives me anxiety.
How am I supposed to get through studying without any caffeine? Is that even possible?
10. Whatever, I’m anxious enough as it is.
One cup of coffee can’t hurt.
11. Who needs sleep? LOL JK, I do.
If I don’t get my eight hours, I’ll be a witch. No all-nighters for me.
12. Counting down the days until summer.
Which reminds me, I need to download the Countdown app.
13. I need my bed. My bed needs me.
It’s calling my name. Sorry bae, I’ll be there soon.
14. What was I doing again? Oh yeah, studying.
Just a reminder: If you didn't do as well as you wanted to on your midterm, that's okay! It's only one test and you'll do better next time. Don't beat yourself up over it. Good luck!
