In honor of Shakespeare's recent 400th Birthday, let's take a look at some quotes that sum up life in college.

"The empty vessel makes the loudest sound." Henry V

Next time "that" student asks another dumb question, apply this burn with a proper amount of sass.

“To be, or not to be: that is the question.” Hamlet

Every semester there comes a point where you decide if you are going to be an ‘A’ student or to be a ‘B’ student. The question is really a hope that you can get a ‘C’ or above.

“I burn, I pine, I perish.” The Taming of the Shrew

This quote perfectly explains cafeteria food. "I burn" – as the heartburn is kicking in again. "I pine" - for a home cooked meal. "I perish" - from eating another measly salad.

"Live a little; comfort a little; cheer thyself a little." As You Like It

There comes a point between all the classes, homework, and studying that you just have to take a break and do something fun. It is important to remember to take care of yourself while facing a beast of a semester.

“Come what come may, time and the hour runs through the roughest day.” Macbeth

Remember that time will continue even if your final exam seems like a death sentence.

“But, for my own part, it was Greek to me.” Julius Caesar

When you carefully study the vocabulary the professor said would be on the exam only to discover that a larger portion of the exam is all application problems – you might as well be taking an exam written in Greek.

"Nothing will come of nothing." King Lear

The sickening realization that all that time you spent watching Netflix only resulted nothing getting done. And no finished homework will come from doing nothing.

"We have seen better days." Timon of Athens

Once the last month of the semester roles into view, you cannot help but remember the better days of the beginning of the semester.

"These words are razors to my wounded heart." Titus Andronicus

*Group Projects.* When your professor assigns a dreaded group project you can only hope that everyone will do their own work.

"I have not slept one wink." Cymbeline

College is full of unfortunate all-nighters that leave you longing for the toddler years when your mom forced you to take a nap every afternoon.

"Out of the jaws of death." Twelfth Night.

After a long and hard semester is finally finished, yell these words into the night!
