Now that Halloween is over and everyone has a settled down a little bit people are starting to think about the end of the semester-- well they start to panic thinking about the end of the semester.
Some people panic about classes ended and having to sign up for new ones, some panic about having to leave campus for a month and some panic about having to leave their roommates. This is the time during the semester where we all start to wonder how many absences we have, and how we shouldn’t skip any more classes but maybe just one more won’t hurt.
This is also the time where we say we’re going to crack down and “bring back the school grind” but then go out on a Tuesday. The end of the semester is either where you crack down or start to slack off.
My roommates and I are really close and, for the most part, we do almost everything together. So, going home for a month and not being able to see either of them is going to be hard. It’s difficult when you live with people and spend every waking moment with them and then are expected to survive without them for a month.
Does that really seem reasonable? I mean we live together, go eat together, walk to class together and go grocery shopping together. So, being away from each other for a month doesn’t seem fair. Of course everybody is excited to go home and see their families for the holidays but that means you have to part from another one here.
With it being the end of the semester, teachers tend to say things like “it’s the home stretch” or “let’s finish off strong.” This is a stressful time for students at the College because you never actually know the end of the semester will bring and beginning a new one in January.
