Let's face it, you did great in high school. Honor rolls, study guides, and academic excellence were just your forte. Then, college hit and you tried at first but the weight of living and school just burnt you out and here you sit, a fifth year senior with serious slacker issues. Or maybe, just maybe you've just begun your backslide into the "C's Get Degrees" mentality. Perhaps you always had this mentality. Whatever the case may be, you're here in this struggle bus with the rest of us and I'm here to tell you it is one of the most peaceful yet completely terrifying places to be. Here's to seven college horrors a slacker knows all too well.
1. The sight of Parking Services near you illegally parked car
You know this scene. You slept late for a test, zoomed to campus, and low and behold every last student parking spot was taken, so you did what all us college kids must, you parked in a faculty spot and prayed to the powers the be that your car wouldn't be ticketed or towed. Now, you're walking or should I say jogging back to class only to see the parking services truck strolling out of the parking lot your car is hiding in.
2. When people start passing papers forward but you don't know what on earth they have
Was there a test? I was only five minutes late. Maybe homework? Shoot, was there homework. Please no, my GPA can't take another hit.
3. When you haven't shown up to class in three weeks, then you decide to check the attendance policy on the syllabus
"Excessive absence will result in failure of the course" is always my favorite phrase to read... not!
4. You're assigned a group project with all your slacker friends and you know you are in for the most painful research paper known to man
Honestly, nobody knows what's going on.
5. That guilt you feel because you don't feel guilty about skipping this class again
I'm a bad person because I don't feel bad about being bad. I am just trash.
6. When you're home for the holidays and the fam starts asking too many questions
Look, Linda, it's none of your concern what my GPA is. Tis isn't a competition between me and your Dean's list freak of nature.
7. Being twelve credit hours away from graduation, but your grades in one class aren't lining up with that whole graduate on time vibe
Well, this is how I die I guess.
