As your 6:30 A.M. alarm pierces through your very pleasant dream and drags you back to reality, you begin the mental arguments. The responsible version of you scolds yourself for hitting the snooze and reminds you that you're not going to be able to take over the world if you skip this 8 a.m. class. The tired version of you just wants to sleep. Responsible you brings out the big guns by pointing out that there's only a month left in the semester. You really can't afford to miss class, so you grudgingly roll out of bed to set up an IV drip of espresso.
It's November, which means that college students nationwide are starting to feel the pressure of countless term papers, projects, and portfolios that they have put off all semester. With only about a month left before finals, it's safe to say we could use some inspiration. Luckily, the internet has us covered. Enjoy.
1. Believe in yourself, like this flying lawnmower.
