Signs That You Are Completely Over This Semester

Its time for this horrendous semester to end!

Signs That You Are Completely Over This Semester

We are pulling into the final stretch of the semester. For a majority of students, the last day of finals cannot come soon enough. I personally cannot wait to kick my feet up, crack open those novels I still haven’t read yet, and just unwind from all the stress of college for a few months. I see the home stretch. My freedom is right out in front of me! Like many other students, I am getting real antsy about the semester coming to an end and I have discovered that we all share the same symptoms of being completely done with this semester. Here is how you can tell if you have So-Done-With-This-itis:

You calculate what your final grade will be at the end of the semester.

You will spend more time trying to figure out the lowest possible grade you need in order to pass the class, rather than actually studying. You will crunch the numbers until you realize how long you've been sitting at your desk, doing the math you told your high school algebra teacher that you would never actually use. It is a sheer, unequivocal sign that you are ready for the semester to be over.

You started to aim for passing rather than As.

From waiting until the last minute to write that five-page essay, to skimming your textbook before the final exam, you tried to shoot for all As, but college is hard! All of the effort and motivation you had in the beginning of the semester has gone. You're just trying not to pass! Besides, you get the same number of credits whether you pass with either a C or an A, so who cares?

Your room is never clean.

It's really hard to keep a clean living-space when you just don't care anymore. The dishes will stay by your sink for days at a time. Your desk and chair will become a hodgepodge of unfolded laundry and snack wrappers. But hey, at least your bed will be ready for naps throughout the day.

You nap more than you party.

Let's face it. All of the excitement and activities have got you spent. You need time to just turn off your phone and sleep for 16 hours a day. Either you're in class or your in bed. There is no in between.

Your everyday outfit.

You stop putting your full effort in your own social life, and your wardrobe is no exception. Those comfy sweatpants and free t-shirt that you got from some school function will be your go-to outfit everyday of the week. They are the perfect ensemble for crawling straight out of bed, going to class, and coming straight back to the warmth of your bed.

You just stop trying in general.

At this stage, you have almost completely given up. You're just waiting for final exams to be over so you can high-tail it outta there and get back home. Motivation and actual trying has been completely thrown out of the window at this point. You will put very little time and effort in anything that you hand in for the remaining of the semester.

Don't get me wrong. These symptoms do not mean you are becoming a bad student. It just means that you have worked extremely hard for several months and really need a break. Just think, in just a few short weeks we are all going to be done with school and can finally kick back and relax!

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
