How is the semester so close to an end already? Christmas is right around the corner, but it feels like summer was just last week. How is this school year already half way over? I can't even remember the beginning of this semester through, is that because this was this the longest or shortest semester ever?
Sophomore year will do that to you; make you question yourself and life in general; it's such a pivotal year. And that's where all the pressure lies. You are no longer a new little freshman, so you are sopposed to know things. You are supposed to have your life together. This is preparation for your junior year, and that's serious...and also frightening. Everything that goes wrong can and will be blamed on sophomore year itself like it's a disease.
1. Looking acceptable went out the window a loooong time ago
I just can't wear a bra to class. Partly because I just woke up from spending a night in the library, and party because even if I was home, I probably wouldn't be able to find one anyway. And yes, I'm going to keep wearing this sweatshirt, it's my favorite. It's fine, it's just sophomore year.
2. Where is all my money?
I know my parents just gave me $200 to go grocery shopping, so why am I eating popcorn for every meal like it is it's own food group? That is sophomore year summed up for you in one sentence.
3. C's get degrees
Telling everyone "yeah I'm definitely going to get an A in that class, it's so easy." *Checks blackboard to find that the grade is actually a 72%.* Sophomore year is lived through the GPA calculator.
4. Might as well just change your major one more time
You've taken just about every core class the university offers, it's time to pick a major...and actually keep it for more than a week. The departments are starting to warn each other that you will be over soon to declare something different this week. But hey, sophomore year is that last time you can do that so minus well, right?
5. Realizing it's sophomore year
You can talk about it everyday, but sooner or later it will hit you. This is sophomore year. You are half way done with college. Is that the best or worst news you've ever heard? You're now in your twenties and are closer and closer everyday to the real world.
As much as we complain about it, we don't want sophomore year to end. It actually needs to slow down. We can't be half way through college already, it feels like we just got here!
It goes too fast. It is time to get out of that sophomore slump and enjoy it! Anything can happen sophomore year.
