Somehow, Patrick Star manages to perfectly describe every struggle college students face as they head back to school to take on the final stretch to summer.
1. You finally meet the people who haven't shown up to class yet.
Some students must not be aware that a semester is actually 16 weeks long, but all the newbies are certainly hoping they can pull a passing grade after missing way too many lectures.
2. Professors are giving you exams that are worth huge percentages of your grade.
Every week is getting closer to finals, so you're officially running out of opportunities to use the "I'll do better next time" excuse.
3. You realize that working hard doesn't always bring success.
4. The overwhelming amount of stress forces you to seek your favorite comfort foods.
Why should you abide by the phrase, "everything in moderation," when your professors do no such thing with assigning work?
5. You try to make the smart people in your classes your best friends.
The first half of the semester didn't exactly go as well as you planned, so I guess it's time to befriend those who actually know what they're doing.
6. The all-nighters are becoming so frequent, you're actually going insane.
You're so tired, it's funny how you still have four hours of work left to do, and it's already 2 a.m.
7. Kissing up to professors becomes necessary if you want to save your grade.
You're going to need to become your professor's best friend before you ask them to bump your 59 percent to an A.
8. Even the fun things you do won't let you forget the mountain of homework you're pretending not to acknowledge.
Can you really have fun when your real priorities are threatening you with future failure?
9. You experience a really intense longing for your pets back home.
There's nothing like Facetiming a family member and asking them to turn it over to your dog.
10. You celebrate every time people talk about an exam you didn't have to take.
11. As the weeks truck on, you lose your drive to do any work
12. But finally, all of your stress is relieved by the completion of finals
Need I say more?
