So this weekend at Bethel we are having Hobbit Day! Yes that's right Hobbit Day! While growing up, I was not a Tolkien fan, but after watching the first Hobbit movie I decided to read all of his books and fell in love with his writing. As a teenager I always heard my dad tell me how much of a masterpiece Tolkien's works were, but every time I would read them, I would fall asleep. At the time, I guess maybe the literary genius was a bit over my head. Last year, as I read and pursued Tolkien's work, I found the man to be pure awesomeness! What I have found more amusing is how much I can relate to some of the quotes as a college student. Here are 10 memes and quotes that describe being a student:
1. When you see your least favorite professor outside of class.
Especially the professor that gives you the ridiculous assignments right before the weekend.
2. When a professor makes changes to the syllabus.
We are thinking to ourselves "What has he added now? Please not another test! Please not another paper! Please let it be that there will be no quizzes or finals the entire semester!"
3. Your first week at college.
When you first start at school or when your parents drop you off for the first time. More than likely your parents are going to go out and celebrate after they drop you off especially if you are the last egg in the nest.
4. How we really feel about doing homework anytime during the semester.
Procrastination!
5.That one really hard class that you spent all night studying for on the day of the (insert math or science course name here) test.
Lets just be honest we hardly knew what we were doing when we were enrolled in the course, we hated it in high school, and we are thinking why did we ever let our advisor talk us into this!
6. How we really feel about 2 weeks before midterms.
Those weeks before fall break and midterms where it becomes tempting to roll over and skip not just your 8 am class but the rest of them for the entire week.
7. How we feel about midterms/finals.
We must consult with our best friends to find motivation to embark on the journey. You then begin to question everything about what you are about to do, what you know, or thought you knew before you realize once you get past this you are almost to freedom!
8. How you feel when you go home and relax after the semester is over.
Friends? What friends? I've been too busy reading books and studying to care about a social life.
9. When you have "free time" but you can't figure out what you were supposed to be doing.
Once you have decided you cant figure out what it was it then comes to you in the form of....
10. Dealing with the financial aid office at any point during the term.
Whenever you see that you are getting extra charges on your account for stuff you didn't use, they take forever with your refund, or they find other methods of trying to ensure you never see your money.
