18 Signs You're 'So Done' With This Semester, As Told By Bob's Burgers

It’s that time in the semester where we’re dragging our feet to finish strong, even if we lose a little sanity.

Thanksgiving is the ultimate tease before fall semester officially comes to a close. You’ve been trying to balance everything all at once without completely falling apart, and now you get a few days of sheer relaxation. You may have hit a slump this fall, so Bob’s Burgers is here to help you embrace the signs that you’re already over this semester.


1. You show up to a lecture but spend the entire time searching for the perfect Thanksgiving recipes and the best New Year’s bars.

You went, though, and to you that’s quite the accomplishment. You pat yourself on the back and reward yourself by running back into the arms of your one true love—your bed.



2. But when you realize you should’ve taken notes, you send the professor an email hinting at any extra credit opportunities.


The sweet personality your grandma is convinced you have turns full force—you’re probably even a little impressed with yourself. Throwing in a well-executed explanation for your lack of involvement this semester might only get you so far, though. Not all professors are understanding, but most will give you tips on how to end the class strongly.



3. You calculate your current grades to see what you need on the final to pass the class.



You probably spend more time calculating what the lowest score you can get is than actually studying. You gear up for what's about to be a bumpy road to freedom.


3. Your bank account starts to resemble your GPA.

You’ve stocked up on Lean Cuisines and eaten more take out than you’d like to admit. Plus, campus parking is adding up, which you conclude is just another reasonable explanation for skipping out on class.


5. You spend all day binge watching Netflix surrounded by dirty laundry only to realize you haven’t gotten a single thing done.


“I’ll start after this episode,” is a lie you’ll tell yourself over and over again (and somehow still believe). However, after seeing your blank face glaring at the black screen enough times in between episodes, you actually conclude that it’s time to buckle down.


6. Regardless, you celebrate the completion of yet another day.

Cheers to another day down and another step closer to winter break. You’d be lying if you said you weren’t counting down the days.



7. Emotional meltdowns have become 100% unavoidable.


The typical run to the grocery store becomes an emotionally draining errand filled with endless whining. You just went to grab toaster strudels, pizza rolls, and a bottle of wine, but you’re overwhelmed with thoughts about exams and deadlines and stress and the future and careers and life and death. Best advice here? Get yourself a dog.



8. You find yourself daydreaming about a time where your days are no longer consumed by class, work and studying.


“One day,” you tell yourself. “One day.”



9. You've lost your sanity due to the consistent lack of sleep.


All-nighters are nothing new to your busy schedule. You stare yourself down in the mirror and demand your brain to remember that sleep is for the weak. Unfortunately, we all know it catches up to you at some point. It’s a good idea to think ahead if you know you become a caffeinated zombie.



10. You actually have to think about how long it’s been since the last time you showered.


Don’t even bother denying it. There’s nothing like a good ole Febreeze spray to achieve that “fresh” right-out-of-the-dryer linen scent since you obviously don’t have time to do laundry.


11. When the weekends roll around, the devil and angel on your shoulder become more prominent than ever.


So you find yourself torn between wanting to go out with friends and hunkering down at the library? Yep. It's the ultimate test of willpower strength.



12. But, you quickly remember that aside from studying, college is a time for being young and reckless.

There’s no better time than the weekend to let go of all of that built-up stress, regardless of what you do or where you go.


13. You pray the irresponsibility associated with missing 11:59 Blackboard deadlines passes before you become a parent someday.


You tell yourself you’re not that bad. Everyone forgets and everyone makes mistakes, but you can’t help but think about how long your reckless decision-making skills will stick around for. It’s just a phase, right?



14. You’ve reached the point where you consider a completely different career path—something that doesn’t require any classroom education.


Take a lesson from Walter White and Jesse Pinkman—cooking meth shouldn’t be in the four-year plan. However, I’m sure you’ve contemplated switching to a different major before, and plenty of people do it. Maybe you’re just stuck in a rut because you have zero interest in your major classes. Luckily, most students have the option to fix that before it’s too late.



15. And your career in acting has obviously been thrown out the window.


We’re all just trying to tack a smile onto a pile of stress, and that’s okay. We’re in this together.


16. Required reading? Awesome, no homework.


You've gotten to the point where required reading pages aren't even worth taking the time to jot down in your planner. You probably can't even remember the last time you wrote anything in your planner. Actually, you probably don't even know where your planner is.


17. You physically want to sprint away from anyone who dare asks what your plans are after graduation.


Holiday season is upon us, and that means family relatives wanting the latest scoop. Yes, of course you're going to lie and say that everything's going smoothly. Yes, you're also going to get irritated if they're persistent, so just sit down, nod your head, and drink your wine.


18. But, when the semester is officially over, you’ll know you tried and it was all worth it in the end.


Truth be told, you'll make it out alive. After all of those academic struggles and sleepless nights, you’re more than ready to use winter break to spend time with loved ones and finally get your emotions back in check.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
