It's that time of the year where the school work starts to pack a punch. Midterms, papers, and speeches seem overbearing and never-ending. Procrastination is at its all-time high, and it's only the second month of school. You've been studying for hours, the past few days so you could definitely use a little pick me up. I looked to my all-time favorite TV show, Friends, to cheer me up and describe my thoughts about midterm season in a way that could make me laugh. The best group of TV friends is here to help you get through the monotonous midterm season.
1. When your roommate asks you if you have thought about when you need to start studying and how you should study for your upcoming exam and all you can think of is nothing.
It's time to sit down and make your study schedule so you can be prepared for your test. Turn your "pla" into a "plan"!
2. When your friend asks you a question about a class, and you know that your help and guidance would make them more confused than make any progress, so instead you can offer what you are good at.
Cheer your friends up with a joke, or something funny because they'll need a little pick me up if they're lost in preparing for their midterms.
3. When you need a little extra motivation to get you through a long day of studying, think of anything you can to keep you pushing forward.
Think of anything to push you through and keep on studying. Whether its the fact that you get a break after this test, or are looking forward to something in the upcoming weekend, or something kinda out there like Joey, use it to motivate you!
4. Because I couldn't study, now you can't either!
When you're tiring to study and be productive, but your friends are doing everything they can to distract you. You'll remember that the next they all have tests and take over their studying time.
5. When you will do anything, anything at all, to not have to study.
It hits that point in your day of studying when procrastination completely takes over. But on the plus side, you can find out some pretty cool things about yourself or life in general when you're trying to distract yourself from studying.
6. When your friends starts talking about something on the test that you don't even remember learning.
Everything is smooth sailing until there is all of this information you need to know for the test that you swear you've never even learned before.
