1. When your parents call to tell you how proud they are of you for studying and being a good student.
It's too much responsibility for us all to handle. Too much weight on our shoulders. And sometimes we'd rather be dragged from a moving vehicle down a highway made of knives than study for one more minute.
2. When your friend asks how much of your work you got done, but you spent the whole day procrastinating all of your work.
It's better to do something than nothing. So even if we haven't even touched that textbook, at least we have something to show for it. Like the fact that we watched 8 seasons of a whole TV show in one day, or something along those lines.
3. Same, Nick. Same.
Especially after reading for twenty-four hours. Words start looking wrong and sounding weird and I think that I'm probably going crazy.
4. When it's the night before your last final, and you've been studying for so many days straight you just take out all of your problems with take-out.
Not to mention the Chinese delivery man comes to the door. Step up your game, Dominos.
5. When you start thinking about the worst that could happen if you just give up right now.
6. When you've finally made it to your final, and your professor starts giving you instructions and talking about how much the test counts for your final grade.
7. When your professor says there will be no final, but you will just have to have a meeting with him during finals week.
8. When you've finally taken all of your finals, and you're waiting for your professor to upload your grades.
9. When you finally get your grades back, and you realize you panicked for no reason.
Or maybe the panic was the reason you got through it. Either way, it always feels amazing to get back A's and B's.
