Whether you're a first year or the aged senior, the feeling of imminent dread as you pull up to the campus resounds with everyone. With midterms fast approaching, motivation from the dynamic duo of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun is always welcome.
Here are the best lyrics to caption those artsy #study Instagram photos.
1. "Wish we could turn back time to the good old days, when our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out." -Stressed Out
Some times you just really need to lie in your bed and drink Caprisun and eat Lunchables.

That one time you walked to your lecture late and had to sit in the seat next to the kid who always walks around campus with no shoes.
4. "Sometimes you gotta bleed to know, that you're alive and have a soul." -Tear In My Heart
When you have so many assignments due that you almost forget you're a conscious being.

Although you've been walking through the same campus forever, you still end up taking a single wrong turn and become 20 minutes late for class.

When you realize you forgot your headphones.
11. "I know where you stand, silent in the trees." -Trees
