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

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
