10 Thoughts You Have During A Mid-Term Slump As Told By "The Golden Girls"

Ah, the middle of a college term. You're settled into a routine, you know the groove of your classes, and you can't for the life of you seem to get on top of your assignments. The dreaded mid-term slump has returned to weigh you down once again.

Whether you're one year into higher education or several, it is very hard to be immune to this phenomenon. Oddly enough, though "The Golden Girls" is a sitcom from the mid-1980s to early 1990s about four older women, they can be incredibly relatable. Sometimes in the duration of a mid-term slump, you find yourself giving as many sarcastic replies as Dorothy Zbornak.

1. "Wait, that was due TODAY?"

Where's a fainting couch when I need one?

2. "To cheer myself up, I'll wake up extra early tomorrow so I can look extra cute."

Who needs sleep when your eyeliner is perfectly winged?

3. "I would rather have an awkward encounter with an ex than write this essay."

4. "I'm not sure how I walked to class; I've been zoning out for the past 10 minutes."

I'd probably lose my head if it weren't attached to my body.

5. "This reminds me of a time from back home..."

Whoops, I made myself homesick again.

6. "I don't know how anyone can maintain a social life in between classes and assignments."

I've been doing homework for so long that I think I forgot how to talk to other people.

7. "I am so not in the mood to deal with people today."

8. "This migraine is the cherry on top of my life right now."

I have enough migraine medicine to last me the next five years.

9. "I wish I had some cheesecake."

With some ice cream on top? Yes, please!

10. "How was my week? Picture it: Allen Hall, 2019. It was a stormy day outside..."

I'll even throw in a piece of advice at the end that's relevant to your current problem.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
