It's the pit in your stomach. The ultimate "oh sh*t" feeling. We all have those days. They're purely inevitable as a college student. Sometimes when your life is falling apart and you're scrambling to hold everything together, everything just crumbles right in front of your eyes. There are certain phrases that no one ever wants to hear and they all make your stomach drop every. single. time.
1. "Notebooks away, take out a pencil for the test."
The ultimate "oh sh*t" feeling. It slipped your mind and there's nothing you can do now but pray.
2. "Everyone take out your Scantron."
You've just booked it across campus to make it to the test because you finally remembered this one and of course, you forget a Scantron. YAY!
3. "This exam is worth 50 percent of your final grade."
That one test that makes or breaks your grade probably isn't going to be the end of the world if you don't ace it, but when the professor opens his mouth and says this, it makes you a tad queasy.
4. "Yo, I just got that on Snapchat."
Yikes.
5. *50 missed calls from mom*
No matter what age you are, 50 missed calls can either be due to your recent spending habits, terrible decision-making skills, or Momma just misses you. Either way, it still shakes you up to see this on the screen.
6. *Misses best friend's birthday*
No one wants to be that guy and there's no way around it. If you mess up and forget your best friend's birthday you suck.
7. *Every class that you need fills up before you can register*
Class registration is much like that of the hunger games nowadays so when every class you need starts filling up you just assume dropping out is probably the best bet.
8. "Let's look at your Facebook profile from middle school."
*Smiles behind the crushed feeling deep within your soul* For those of us who went through the ugly middle school phase this one always stings.
9. *Finishes assignment too close to deadline* **Computer crashes**
Tears. Lots and lots of tears.
10. *Drops brand new phone face down on pavement*
Your entire life flashes before your eyes in this moment. Will Jesus look out for you? Will you have shards of glass cut into your fingertips every time you use your phone from now on? The world will never know.
11. *Gets caught in middle of thunder and lightning storm without rainboots, jacket, or umbrella*
The first crack of thunder in the distance makes you jump a little bit and then your heart sinks as you perfect the "50 year-old-mom power walk" back to class in the pouring rain.
12. "Group two, it's time to present."
Wow, I was in group two, wasn't I?
13. *Runs into regrettable people from Friday night on Saturday morning*
It starts out as being happy to just be alive after a wild Friday night and then you run into exactly everyone who you do not want to see from that night. A classic turn and run will always suffice in this instance.
14. *Talks smack about someone sitting directly behind you in the dining hall*
Rants are fabulous when you can just vent away to a trusted friend. Until you turn around and whoever you hate is sitting directly behind you :)
15. *Goes 10 mph over speed limit and passes sheriff on side of road*
Every semi-regrettable decision you've ever made will pass through your head in this moment whether or not the blue lights begin to flash. The thought of paying a $50-100 ticket makes you want to die probably because you don't even have that in your bank account at the moment. Waterworks or not will be the decision to make before the lovely officer comes over to pay you a visit.
16. *Parks in a tow zone for five minutes and can't find car*
The panic is so real. You park somewhere for a second and the instant you can't find your car you know it's gone. Boom. Stomach just dropped three feet.
