Let's flash back to the beginning of the semester. You walked into your first class with your little notebook and colored pens ready to finish the semester off strong with full confidence. Now that October has rolled around, the game has changed. We enter the dreaded month of midterms. It all goes down hill from here. Big papers are due, exams are taking over our lives, and we live in the library pretty much 24/7. Our GPA, bank accounts and emotional stability could use a little prayer right now. Here's how the cast of Spongebob has summed up the mid-semester crisis:

1. It hits you midterms have approached and the fun is now over.

2. Appearance means nothing anymore and you show up to class with mismatching socks and the sweatpants you wore to bed.

3. Your brain feels like:

4. The library went from being completely empty at the beginning of the semester to suddenly looking like this:

5. Balancing your school work, social life, internship and job all at the same time has you looking like:

6. Procrastination has become your job and when you finally begin your assignment, you reward yourself 2 minutes later with a break.

7. At the beginning of the semester, you were so happy, carefree and attentive. Now you're miserable, stressed and tired.


8. You're at that point where you can't even function like a human.

9. It's 3 AM and you finally finish the assignment you've been putting your blood, sweat and tears into.

10. Your friends ask you to go out and be adventurous but you've already spent your life savings on the beginning of the semester.

11. When you've been studying so long that you can't fit any more information into your brain.


12. Getting a good nights sleep isn't even an option anymore.

13. You finally get in bed at 11:50 PM thinking you're finally able to go to sleep before midnight until you realize there's an assignment due on blackboard at 11:59.

14. You have $0.14 in your bank account, running on 1.5 hours of sleep, you have no clean clothes and you're failing 7/5 of your classes but are trying to look at the bright side of things.

15. You go home to your family and they ask how your semesters going so far.


16. Your professor decides to add assignments that weren't even on the syllabus in the first place.

17. You're halfway through an exam and realize how screwed you are but keep on trying because you really need the grade.


18. You roll into 8 AM class wondering why you even thought it was a good idea to take one in the first place.

19. Eating is the only way to make you feel content.

20. Everything and everyone around you pisses you off.

21. You failed your midterm and beg your professor to round up your grade.

22. Your life has turned into a constant panic 24/7.


23. Mental breakdowns happen daily.

24. You look at your midterm grades and realize you're screwed.

25. Your motivation just isn't there anymore.

26. When you're just so physically and mentally drained, and you still have 2 months left of the semester to go.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
