7 Times The Fall Semester Makes Us Feel Like The 'Shocked' Meme
Giphy

College is like a free trial for "adult life," and let's be honest, none of us know what we're doing. We all just kind of go along with everything and hope for the best.

So if you don't feel the level of shock that this guy feels on the daily... well then you're lying.

1. When you realize summer is over and move in is tomorrow.

Did you start packing yet? No. Are you mentally prepared to be a functioning “adult”? Hell no.

2. When your professor turns "syllabus week" into "syllabus twenty minutes, now let's start chapter one."

Yeah, that whole “sylly week”… not true. And if it actually is for you, you’re lucky.

3. When the professor says that attendance is included in the grade.

I’m paying to be here. You telling me that my showing up is mandatory makes me not want to show up even more than I already didn’t.

4. When the first exam comes around and someone in your class says they've been studying for two weeks.

And when did you start? At 11:30 last night. Are they over-achievers or are you just a procrastinator?

3. When the first exam finishes and everyone is arguing whether the answer was 25 or 23 but you got 698

Feel the panic slowwwwly start sinking in

6. When it feels like you've only been at school for two minutes but you suddenly have four midterms this week.

Time flies when you’re stressing out 24/7!!!

7. When it's already time for spring scheduling but you still don't even know where your fall classes are.

I planned out my class schedule for next semester to make me feel like I’m on top of things when in reality I have no idea what I’m doing for the classes I’m currently in now

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
