April is the month where everything hits the fan; all college students know this. Not quite finals week but definitely not the mid-semester, many professors think that April is the perfect time to assign exams, papers, and projects. And because of the weather, many college students think that April is the perfect time to slack off and enjoy the nice weather (or the Netflix queue. I don't judge.) That makes the perfect cocktail of homework and procrastination, of carefree fun days and panicked, cram-worthy nights. So here are the characters of my favorite movie, Steel Magnolias, to help you through your college April.

When it's nice outside and you want to look cute:

When it's (still) nice outside and a professor gives you mountains of work:

When you reminisce about syllabus week:

When you're officially having the worst week ever:

When you're getting ready for a night out after the rough week:

When you and your friends are having a late night in the library:

When you have too much work and too little time AND it's nice outside:

When you're thinking about your summer beach bod goals:

After this, I realize that life is short and food is good, and eat it anyway.

When you realize that April means it's almost the end of the semester and that you'll make it through:

So although April is hectic and beautiful in its own special ways, and college is rough, maybe the women of Steel Magnolias can make it better for you. Study hard, and enjoy the sunshine.
