The end of the semester is in sight. You're thinking about how long you have to sit in the library, when you could be enjoying the sun, but you know that hard work for a couple of more weeks will all be worth it when you're sitting by the pool doing nothing. You're definitely feeling the pressure to finish semester long projects and study for comprehensive finals. Here's a list of how we're all feeling right now as told by our favorite stressed cast: "Grey's Anatomy."
Food.
You've stopped going to the grocery store, because there are only a few weeks left before you go home. You'd rather eat fast-food and go out to eat for every meal than risk buying too many groceries.
Semester long papers.
Your professor has forgotten to mention anything about these. Now you have three all-nighters ahead of you and 25 pages to write.
Yea, sure, it was in the syllabus, but its been months since we've seen that thing.
Afternoon classes.
At this point, your professor is letting you out early almost every class. All you want to do is go outside and play, but there are too many people asking individual questions. Doesn't apply to the whole class? Go to office hours.
Venting when the professor leaves the room.
The professor has left the room to grab something from his/her office. The classroom erupts into a giant therapy session for a minute or two, and everyone feels equally as discouraged upon his/her return.
Grade guessers.
In the library, you're stuck listening to the students next to you talk about the lowest grade they could possibly get and still pass the final. They make it loud enough that everyone around them can hear.
Class participation.
You're now the only person answering class questions.
All night in the library.
Showering? Food? Yea right. You're now spending more hours in the library than you do at your own house.
Sleeping?
Even if you had time to sleep, you keep thinking about all of your assignments and upcoming exams.
Weekend activities.
Phew. You've gotten through the week and you have at least a day to relax. Your friends ask you to go to a party with them, but you really just want to do absolutely nothing.
Pushing through.
You've done it before, and you'll do it again. Make a checklist, get some coffee, and charge up your computer. The semester is closer than you think. You've got this!
