Mid semester slump. You know, that feeling when you really really really don’t feel like trying anymore, but you don’t have a choice? This happens almost always as soon as mid February rolls around. It’s like students everywhere decide to no longer care or try. There is just something about this time of year.

Everyday until the last day of class you think about how you want to drop out. How life would be much better without classes and work everyday. How you could be on vacation instead of waiting a few more months until summer break.

We are at the awkward time where we are still a few weeks away from Spring Break and Easter Break, so we kind of just have to suck it up. So we just talk about our plans for these breaks over and over again, until even we get tired of talking about it.

It is also the time of year where all of the professors get together and plan to have all of their exams in the same two-day stretch. This is a form of punishment for getting both a Spring Break and Easter Break. But lets be real, all the hard work before break is much better than having to mess with it during break.

Mid semester slump happens to be the time of year everyone gets sick too. So while you’re barely making it through second semester right now, you also have to worry about getting sick. But this is what college is all about right?

This time of year may be the worst, but it’s also the best. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel if you will. These breaks that we are counting down to just means we are one-step closer to summer break. And who doesn’t love three months off from class?

Let’s just hope we can make it to May.
