It seems like every semester is riddled with problems for students at every turn, a lot of which we all share. Getting through the semester is always a challenge for students, especially when it feels as if no one understands the struggle. Luckily, our friends from "Drake and Josh" can explain the struggle better than anyone else can. Here are 12 ways Drake and Josh feel our pain:
1. When your professor starts to lecture on the first day of class:
It's pretty likely that no one in the class is prepared to think critically yet, so there's no point in going beyond the syllabus on day one.
2. You know (and probably have used) every excuse in the book to get out of homework or class.
Classics include, but are not limited to, "I haven't bought my textbook yet," "the printer was out of ink," or, "you didn't get my email?"
3. When going out with friends on the weekend turns into playing mom:
Responsibility is the last thing you want to deal with when you go out, especially after a long week. But in the end, someone has to do it if you want to survive the night.
4. Sharing stories from last night like:
Somehow someone always has a crazier story than the last.
5. Being so broke that your car is constantly riding on "E."
The debate on whether to put $10 or $15 dollars (if any at all) in the tank is a constant struggle on a tight budget.
6. Free food is a godsend.
Every college kid's dream, broke or not. Who doesn't like free food? Plus less money spent on food means more money for other shenanigans!
7. When the professor says, "I've already to picked groups for you."
Any students worst nightmare. Nothing is more despised than being forced to work with a team of people you don't know or don't like while your best friend is sitting across the room (especially when your final grade depends on it.)
8. The library gradually becomes a place to socialize, not study.
For some reason, people seem to forget that libraries are not a place to mingle during midterms and finals.
9. Procrastination has become a lifestyle instead of a random occurrence.
Sometimes it's more relaxing to watch Netflix in bed at the end of the day instead of writing that paper that's due at noon tomorrow. That's what alarms are for, right?
10. You've lost count of how many emotional breakdowns you've had to this point.
Three? Eight? Fourteen? I lost track after I stopped counting on my fingers. And toes.
11. Walking into class after pulling an all-nighter like:
Enough said.
12. But when you pass the semester after everything you did (or didn't) accomplish...
You'll celebrate with just about anyone anywhere far away from campus.
