It is the midterm season for all colleges and the one time a year other than finals that college students dread the most. Students stress levels begin to go through the roof, they are spending all their extra time somewhere else to study, whether it is at the library or out in the Cistern Yard.

Students are also counting down seconds until they have to take their midterm. Sometimes it may not be ideal because of the hurricane this year causing us to not have a fall break anymore and some teachers were able to push the midterms back to the Sunday makeup day or even 'fall break.' These are the 5 signs that midterms have hit the College of Charleston.

1. All you hear from people are the many versions of "Want to go study at the library?"

2. People dress like slackers because they just spent all night cramming for a midterm, writing papers, and doing somehow more homework.

Now that students have had no sleep, they don't even try to get dressed up anymore. Big t-shirt, gym shorts, and whatever shoes you prefer is the best comfy outfit possible in my opinion.

3. Everyone is all of a sudden at Starbucks or any cafe, drinking Pumpkin Spice something.

I personally don't like Pumpkin Spice, but it is the #1 lingering smell coming from every direction all day long.

4. You get excited that fall break is next week, then you remember that CofC doesn't have a fall break anymore and you also have school on a Sunday!

5. You practically live at the library for a week.

You walk around and there is barely any spots left to sit at unless you're first there. It is also always full until they close.
