As the semester comes to a close, professors love to pile on the projects, papers, and tests until we are drowning. They claim they know and understand that we have a lot going on, and that’s why they are giving us these assignments now, but we all know they actually plan to make our lives miserable since as Buddy the Elf would say, they are angry South Pole elves.

1. You get back from Thanksgiving and feel like you’ve been punched in the face.
   
2. You’re trying to take it one day at a time.
   
3. Your professors decide to change the assignment and add extra work.
   
4. You remember the ten page paper you’ve been working on is due tomorrow and you’re only on page 5.
   
5. It seems that you can never get through the day without being a cotton headed ninny muggins.
   
6. You just need a hug from that cuddly raccoon that lives behind your building to get through the day.
   
7. Your professor tells you that the final is open note.
   
8. When walking across campus, you try to get hit by a car…it’d hurt a lot less than finishing the semester.
   
9. When people ask how you are doing, you pretend like everything is okay and smile through it all.
   
10. You honestly can’t wait for the semester to be over, so you can shower at home again and not in the elf size showers at school.
    
11. With all of these assignments, you can’t help but to stuff your face and stress eat with the four main food groups.
    
12. You get your grade back on one of your last tests and you don’t know how you’re going to pass the class with only 2 weeks left in the semester.
    
13. On top of everything else, you’re down to your last 5 meal swipes and realize you will have to scrounge for food.
    
14. You look at your planner and see that there are 2 weeks left in the semester and you have 3 papers, 2 projects, and 3 tests that all due on the same day and you now have to sacrifice sleep to finish.
    
15. This wasn’t the college life you were told about…
    
16. You then enter the last miserable week…Finals week.
    
17. You study and fight hard since this is the end, and you get to go home.
    
18. Congratulations! Whether you passed or not, you made it out alive, just to go home and do it all over again next semester.
