As a college student taking 15 credits this semester while trying to work, exercise and maintain any sort of social life, there are compromises that I make every day. Usually, those compromises are sleep and homework. Which make my days entirely dreadful. So, with the end of the semester quickly approaching, and by quickly I mean 28 days, (thank gosh) it seems like a fitting time to give everyone an insight into the hell that is a college students life, especially with finals looming over our heads.
Morning
Waking up in the morning for 7.45 a.m. class after a long night of doing homework till 2 a.m. is a special kind of hell. Reserved for those of us who procrastinate so well our grades actually depended on it.
Getting Ready
This is for the mornings when you were up late preparing a presentation and you'd rather look like a scrub for just an extra couple minutes of sleep, but you have to present said presentation. FML.
Guys-this doesn't apply to you. Go shower and throw on a shirt. Bye.
Sitting in Class
That feeling when you're sitting in class and could at any moment close your eyes and be out for a solid couple of hours. This is a particularly evil kind of sleepiness, because you never feel that tired if you're just at home watching Netflix.
Lunch
And then all of a sudden it's lunch time and you feel like an entirely new person. Not only are you finally feeling awake, but you're about to eat something that probably isn't that good for you and you're a little overly excited about it.
Eff yeah, FRENCH FRIES!
Afternoon Class
Aaaaand we're back to class. This is by far the worst class of the day because not only is it your last, but you also just ate way too much food and are fighting everything you have to not slip into a food coma.
When the Teacher Assigns Homework
When you just suffered through a painfully boring and confusing class and the professor assigns a bullsh*t assignment due by tomorrow.
Sorry, not sorry.
You're Finally Free
The class is finally over and you're totally going to go right home and do your homework and go to bed because you're exhausted.
Except what usually ends up happening is hitting happy hour with your BFF'S who are equally excited that the day is done.
When It's Finally Bedtime
You're finally home after unwinding from such a long day, and although you know you should do homework, you already stayed up way too late and your body just isn't having it.
"Goodnight World!"
The Next Morning
Well, it's time to wake up and do it all over again.
F***
