With finals coming terrifyingly fast around the corner, it looks like the second semester is wrapping up for most of us in college. This is a time filled with constant stress and busy schedules with ungodly amounts of responsibilities. Oftentimes, we can feel a little restricted with all of our day-to-day obligations, and the majority of us are undoubtedly ready for classes to be finished up so summer can take over.
Recently, the popular tv show "Prison Break" returned to Fox for its fifth season. In celebration of its release, here are some very real thoughts and feelings towards the end of the semester, as told through the characters of the hit show.
1. Stress eating.
Once those assignments start piling up and exams are just around the corner, our comfort foods start becoming regular necessities.
2. When things are too good to be true.
On the rare occasion that a class is canceled or an assignment's due date is pushed back, it's definitely a good idea to double check that you heard it right. That news is simply just too good to be true.
3. When you just have to accept the reality of impending stress.
There's really no way of avoiding it, so we may as well tackle it head-on. Bring it on.
4. When a family member asks how school is going.
Despite the countless times that I assure you school is going well, I'm really crying inside at the thought of my classes.
5. When you're running low on motivation, but still try to pick yourself and others up.
We can get through this. We can do this. It'll all work out in the end.
6. When you don't know the answer to a test question.
This guess is as good as any right? We can hope the professor likes animals and decides to give a few pity points.
7. When you procrastinate until the very last minute. . . again.
This bad habit needs to end. I'll quit at some point, I'm sure.
8. Stress eating, part two.
Pizza is basically the staple college food anyways, so ordering it several times a week is totally justifiable. We're doing it for the sake of our own health, it's fine.
9. When you take time away from studying to organize the rest of your life.
A little tidying up your work/living space really helps lift the spirits, especially in the midst of all the chaos that's going on.
10. When the going gets tough, we're ready to power through.
At this point in time, I'd be willing to sell my soul just to survive the rest of the semester. Hell, I'll sell my soul just to get a few extra hours of sleep here and there.
Hang in there, y'all. We've almost made it. We're basically just like Michael Scofield of "Prison Break." Our time to break out is coming soon.
