Every college student has a panic moment every now and then; or, if you're like me, you have them multiple times a day. Here are 18 college crises that every college student has experienced and (hopefully) survived.
1. When you haven't done laundry in a while and realize that you've officially run out of pants.
You have two choices: Febreeze or pajamas.
2. The moment when you realize you forgot to do your online homework.
It's 11:50 P.M. and the work is due at midnight. Do you try to rush and get it done, or do you just let this one go?
3. When you think you have a week until your paper is due but your teacher reminds you that it's due by the next class meeting.
Oops.
4. When you realize that you haven't eaten anything all day.
No wonder you don't feel well.
5. The moment of panic and utter confusion when you're dosing off in class and your head does that violent bobbing thing.
That all-nighter probably wasn't the best idea, but it had to happen.
6. When you look at how much money you've spent on food and just want to cry a little bit.
If dining hall food was better, I wouldn't be in this dilemma.
7. When you realize that you have two or more tests on the same day.
Do teachers get together and plan it this way on purpose?
8. Not paying the meter when you park your car and seeing Parking Services drive by a minute later.
Parking Services actually really scares me.
9. When you forget just how long it takes you to get to your classes.
I don't know why some days I think that 10 minutes is long enough for me to get across campus.
10. Seeing texts from your family and telling yourself that you'll reply later, but then realizing 3 days afterward that you never did.
The good thing about this is they'll still love you, even if you forget to apologize too.
11. When you forget that you're supposed to be somewhere.
You may keep a perfect planner, but these aren't always fool-proof.
12. When you wake up slightly late for your first class of the day and wonder whether you should rush to get ready or just not go.
Class is important, but so is sleep.
13. When you realize just how much work you have to get done this week.
It may feel like you're drowning, but it'll all be over before you know it!
14. When you're apparently supposed to be at three club meetings, a study session, and a group project meeting all at the same time.
Is it really impossible to clone yourself?
15. When your paper is due at midnight and you've written two words for it by 8 P.M.
Get ready, professor, the BS is coming.
16. When it's time for exams and you realize that you actually know nothing.
Time to teach yourself 10 chapters of biology in a single night, yay.
17. When you think it's Wednesday, but you realize it's only Tuesday.
So close to the weekend, yet so far away.
18. When you realize that in a few years you'll be out of school and will have a job in the real world.
I can't even make a sandwich correctly, am I really ready to live on my own?
Trust me, we've all been through all of these crises at least once. No matter how bad it gets though, remember that you can do it and we're all in the same boat. Good luck and you got this!
