C-3P0 is my favorite Star Wars character. He's just so relatable. He's polite, awkward, and unaware most of the time. And that's me in a nutshell. Oops.
I saw a thread by @H0llyTheWizard on Twitter that inspired me to write this article. It was labeled "College majors during finals week as Star Wars gifs." The gif for EVERY major was as follows:
I laughed at this for so long. It's the truth.
Believe it or not, he's relatable in many other ways.
Here's five times C-3P0 summed up our feelings during exam season.
1. When your professors assign random, meaningless projects during your exams.
Seriously? This was the best time for you to assign something? Thanks. I promise you that no one is going to submit A-worthy work. Save us from even more pain and just make it an extra credit assignment. Please.
2. When a minor inconvenience comes your way while studying and you release some anger you never thought you had.
I'm the quiet girl who never gets angry, right? WRONG. You should see me during finals week. The slightest noise outside of my room will probably make me angry. Maybe I'll rip up some paper if I'm really stressed. I can't really predict the amount of destruction that I may cause. Just stay out of my way.
3. When you decide to pull an all-nighter to study for an exam...even though you know it's a bad idea.
Sleeping is probably the most important thing you can do in times of high stress. Sometimes all-nighters are unavoidable. Sleep is an afterthought.
We know what we got ourselves into at these times, but there's nothing we can do about it.
4. When you're running on coffee and energy drinks and someone asks if you've slept lately.
Of course! Everything is just fine and dandy! *laughs uncontrollably and chugs coffee*
5. When you've been the responsible friend all semester and all of a sudden start procrastinating too.
Honestly, I've learned the hard way that even if you are on top of things most of the time, it won't always be that way. We all have bad days.
I'm that "mom friend" who gives my friends advice on studying...but at the end of the semester, my life is in shambles.
Happy studying. Next time you feel extremely stressed and unmotivated, think of C-3P0. He got through it. So can you!
