1. You have no idea HOW behind you are on readings.

There is a point in every semester where you are beyond unprepared before coming to class. You cannot recall the last time you actually looked at the syllabus to check what reading is to be done let alone do the assigned reading. You just pray you don't look as lost as you feel.

2. You think about skipping classes for the least rational reasons.

Well, of course you can skip the rest of your classes if you accidentally sat on gum. People are horrible. You can't deal with people anymore. You are annoyed you sat on gum as you should be. You deserve a break, even though midterms are only a week away. College is difficult. Hence, no class.

3. You intend to nap for 45 minutes but accidentally sleep for 13 hours.

Five alarms five minutes apart. Four alarms fifteen minutes apart. Two alarms thirty minutes apart. How are you already late for class the next day?! Sleep is truly a double-edged sword in college.

4. You refrain from going out on weekends to study but somehow manage to be even more behind on work by Sunday night.

You basically want to kill yourself every Sunday night, hoping against hope that your professor cancels class the next day. You end up making an elaborate chart of how many classes you have missed, going as far as to plan a fake accident in your family to get out of class.

5. You're already late in submitting your paper, what difference would another day make.

Your stress reaches a point where you wonder if all of your work is even worth your stress.

It is, unfortunately.
