The end of the semester is always stressful, whether it be the fall or spring semester. However, the very last weeks of the spring semester always take a particularly heavier toll on college students.
It's the last opportunity to fix your GPA, make amends with old friends, and get your Summer job all set up.
So, who's better equipped to relate to the stress, confusion, and chaos of the average young adult than Jane Villanueva?
1. The week before the semester begins, when you're almost positive that you won't be overloaded with work in a few short days.
I really am convinced that everything will be okay...despite how not okay it's about to be.
2. Getting your snacks ready for a night of hardcore studying in the library until 2 a.m.
Health really goes out the window at the end of the semester. Apples and peanut butter turns into $5 hot and ready pizza and Starbucks.
3. Trying to figure out how to salvage your last $20 to eat, buy extra supplies, etc.
Starting the semester off with your hard earned Winter break money is comforting, until you burn through it on books, food, and activities within a month.
4. When you watch your friends struggling slightly more than you, and cynically feel better about your own misfortunes.
Maybe your major doesn't have a lot of tests and papers, so watching your friends struggle to fit in their studying sessions, while hard, makes you feel pretty on top of your stuff.
5. When you finally reach the point of absolute insanity, and nothing makes sense anymore.
It happens to everyone. We worked ourselves to the bone, and there's literally no hope for our mental sanity anymore. We don't exist without our work, it's all over for us.
The end of the Spring semester is just about the hardest part of the year. We're ready to go home, but stuck having to power through the huge amounts of work piled on top of us. Not to mention that literally everything is due in April, why does that always happen?
