We are officially almost halfway through this semester. How is that even possible?! At this point, I feel as though I've just started but I also feel like I need to take the longest vacation I can afford. Friends is often my comical escape from school stress, but even Friends gets a little too real sometimes.

1. When you've learned the same theory in every class you've taken in your major.

2. When you get back your papers and the red markings everywhere prove that your professor thinks you're an idiot.

3. When the stress makes you think it can't get any worse. But then it does.

4. When the weekend finally comes and you don't have any exams to study for.

5. When you spent all night studying and wake up just in time to make it to class.

6. When your professors start emailing you about all the speeches and clubs you should come to.

7. When you have four midterms coming up in one week and no one else seems stressed about it.

8. When you were too overzealous with your money in the beginning of the semester and are finally remembering you're a college student and you can't waste anything.

9. When your professors keep reminding you of all the big assignments that are coming up in class.

10. When you have to stay in and study while all your friends go out.

11. When you're out with friends and trying to act fun and pretend that you don't have a million school-related things to stress over.

12. When your professor assigns a project or a paper within a week of the midterm.

13. When your computer finally dies and you've lost everything you've been working on all semester.

14. When you realize that you're almost halfway there, and soon there's going to be another break.

15. When you realize that a break coming up is great, but being away from your friends again is nauseating.
