Sure college is not as high stakes as Seattle’s Grace Mercy West. However, it is pretty stressful. If you watch a lot of "Grey’s Anatomy," it is easy to see some similarities. It may not be life or death but sometimes it sure does feel like it. Between the nervous breakdowns and how many times we have no idea what we are doing sometimes being a college student feels like being an intern at Seattle Grace.
When the professor says you can’t do their assignment last minute.
Challenge accepted. Yes, we get it that your class is different than all of the other ones, but sometimes last minute is the only minute we have to do our work. We are trying our best to listen, but some days procrastination gets the best of us
Working in group projects.
Is anyone not stressed out by group projects? Yeah, I don’t think so. There are a million ideas going a million different ways making it a complicated process. Sometimes it can be hard to get your word in and you all just want to have it done so you can go sleep.
Going to any event ever.
Just feed us. At the end of the day, we could all just use more food. Especially free food.
When you get that test grade back.
We studied, we tried, but sometimes our best just is not good enough. A for effort, right?
When you and your friend oversleep and have five minutes to get ready for class.
We have all been there. We have all been at that point where we just have to throw on a hat some old clothes and bolt out of the room. We choose to sacrifice our image for our attendance. It inst pretty but at least we didn't hit snooze...again.
When you get behind the slow walkers on the way to class.
Do they not have anywhere to be? We may never know. What we do know is that they are going to make us late and we cannot afford another tardy. Right, left, people let's move!
Having a relationship with your laundry.
We can never do it enough. There is never enough washers and dryers open, and there's never enough time to do it.
Looking at your bank account like.
Where did it go? How did we become so bad at managing money?
When you go way too long to clean your dorm room/apartment.
It gets out of hand so fast. It usually falls very low on the priority list.
When that one assignment ruins your whole week.
It will be okay. I may feel like the end of the world now but you will get through it.
All-nighters get pretty ugly.
We are losing function but we have to have this completed by morning.
When the coffee starts to kick in.
Thank you caffeine for giving us life and motivating us to actually get out of bed and live life.
At least we are in it together.
Be thankful that you get to go through this awesome experience with some of the most amazing people you have ever met. You may struggle but you can usually always find someone who is struggling just as much as you are.
