College is the time in everyone's life where you are partially an adult but not quite yet and each semester has it's same old ups and downs with lots of group suffering. From the dreaded finals to the excitement of breaks, here are just a few moments that almost happens every semester with a "Parks and Rec" GIF to illustrate.
1. Returning back to school
There's always excitement about going back to school and seeing friends again.
2. Figuring out your life
It seems like every semester, you have to really decide what you are planning to do in life. From your schedule and your major, to future job goals and internships, the beginning of the semester is when you start to plan what your next few months up to the next few years will be.
3. Partying
It's the start of the semester so the parties are starting up once again. As there are no tests and homework to worry about too much yet, you can party without realizing you forgot about a homework assignment.
4. First exam
Realizing that you didn't study as much as you should have is never a fond time and you remember that you have responsibilities again.
5. Trying to do homework
This is what getting that specific word count for that essay you really don't want to write feels like.
6. Midterms
So much stress.
7. Break (Thanksgiving or spring)
Going home is great because either you eat good home cooked meals or you go on a vacation but no matter what you get to relax. As long as you forget all about your upcoming assignments.
8. Returning from break
Responsibilities.
9. Group project
It always feels like one person does all of the work. And that person is probably you.
10. Procrastinating
Doing anything else is better than studying. Especially watching Netflix. You accomplish so much by procrastinating.
11. Questioning everything
Do you really want to major in Chemistry or do you want to quit college and become a flight attendant?
12. The beginning of finals week
The end is so close yet it feels so far away.
13. Completing your last final
Freedom!
