At the beginning of the year you were just happy not to be a freshman

And that you know where everything is and how everything works

You're significantly more confident then you were freshman year

Especially since you have a closer friend group

But during sophomore year, you may realize that you are in a slump

Even though you thought you would avoid it

It may seem like you have nothing but bad ideas

And that you are just working towards Christmas break

But then the year is only halfway over

And to make matters worse the cold weather makes your skin dry and your lips chapped

And then you are already looking forward to Summer break

But by February you feel like the year is going by too fast

And you get anxious knowing that there are only a few months left of being an under class-man

And once you're an upper class-man it will be time to get more serious

This realization makes it almost impossible to focus

It's much easier to procrastinate

And pretend that college is not almost halfway over

And try to enjoy each day with your fellow sophomores

Even though it is hard to remain positive through the awkward slump

Because the excitement of freshman year is gone and the anticipation of graduation has not yet arrived

But it is important to stay positive and not turn into someone you are not due to boredom or stress

Even though you feel burned out and tired of school

But one day you will look back on sophomore year as your favorite year of college because it was the least stressful and the most fun

Even though it was most likely uneventful, you started to become very mature and independent

And it was the year of college that you discovered who you are and who you want to become.
