College is just one of those things in life where, no matter how smart or organized or motivated you are, you pretty much have to fly by the seat of your pants the entire time -- which is a bit similar to the strategy of the current Republican front-runner. And hey, if being that blatantly unprepared is working for him, I guess we'll be OK too. Besides, everyone knows college is more about blind confidence than brains, right? Right? This is what it's like to be a college student, as told by the one person in the world less prepared for that politics exam than you are: current Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
1. How you feel at the beginning of the semester.
2. How you feel in the middle of the semester.
3. When your professor asks if you've done the readings.
4. When someone answers a question in class you couldn't answer.
5. When one of your professors assigns an essay over five pages.
6. When you wait until the night before to start that five-page essay.
7. When you get your grade back for a particularly tough calculus midterm.
8. When you have three midterms, two projects, and an essay due in the same week on top of your normal homework load, and you just can't handle it anymore.
9. When you walk into your 8 a.m. a hot mess and your best friend tries to do damage control.
10. When your group project is becoming the bane of your existence.
11. When you're running low on sleep and the green mermaid calls to you with the promise of consciousness.
12. When you decide you need to get away from the stress of school and go out with your squad.
13. So you pull out your Naked eye palette with the intention of looking fierce.
14. But all the frats require that you name 37 brothers and their mothers' maiden names before you can get in.
15. When you give up on life and decide that the hermit life is the right one for you -- human contact is out of the question for the rest of the semester.
16. When the only joy you have left in life is the joy of being an American.
