This semester has been very troublesome for me. This is my senior year, so I am taking hard classes. I also decided to take 5 classes this semester so that I do not have to spend an extra semester in school. This was a very bad idea and I urge you to take it easy during your senior year. Here are 6 reasons as to why I am over this semester.
1. Transportation
I do not live that close to my college. It takes me about an hour and a half to travel to and from school. The smelly and crowded trains do not make my commute any better. Sometimes I would rather sit in Starbucks for half an hour to avoid going on the train.
2. Waking up early
I have never been a morning person. And I truly believe I will never be. I hate waking up early and I really value my sleep. But sometimes, the classes I have to take are at 8 or 9 in the morning. So I have to wake up at 6 in the morning. It does not help that I keep hitting my snooze button like 10 times. It makes me late to class.
3. Stress
I am a chronic procrastinator. Every semester I try to delete all the games and video streaming apps from my phone. They are usually back in my phone by the end of the month. My procrastination usually makes me do my assignments last minute. It leads me to become super stressed.
4. Being excluded from outings
I usually have to cancel hanging out with my friends during the end of the semester. I know that I am doing a good thing concentrating on my studying but sometimes I feel left out. Not being able to attend family events is very saddening.
5. Not looking as good as I want to
When I go to class I usually just throw on something comfortable and just let down my hair. I truly believe that I look like a bum sometimes. The bags under my eyes do not help. I can not wake up an extra half an hour and put on makeup or style my hair. I have managed to shorten my morning routine to ten minutes.
6. Tired
I am just tired all the time. I am tired of papers. I am tired of assignments. I am tired of homework. And most of all I am exhausted for not sleeping for more than 6 hours a night.
I am over this semester because of these six reasons. However, college is a really good opportunity for me. Even though it is stressing me out now, I believe it will help me in the future. It is important to take it easy during your college years. Do not cram many classes during a semester. Take your time and really pay attention to these classes. Also, enjoy your college years. And try new things.
