We all know the pain and dread that start to spring up inside once you realize Spring Semester is just around the corner.
From pure denial to full-blown insanity, we've all experienced something on this spectrum of dread.
So as you dwell on the fact that classes are starting, here is a list of a few things most students will experience before they return to school for their Spring semester:
1. Annoyance
When your school starts to send out emails regarding the upcoming semester.... three days after break begins.
2. Disgust
When you hear someone say they're ready to go back to school already.
3. Self-medication
When you start to panic about all the classes you have to take this semester and realize there is only one thing that can put your mind at ease... food.
4. Despair
When you realize you not only need a brand new Stats book, but you also need the online access code. Why is life so unfair?!
5. Procrastination
When you realize all you did was sleep and binge-watch Netflix shows instead of accomplishing the many things you planned to do over break.
6. Rage
When your mom looks at you from across the dinner table and says "So when do you go back to class?"
7. Confusion
When your friends send a text in the group chat trying to make plans because they leave to go back to school in a week and you still thought there were two weeks of break left.
8. Envy
Realizing you have to trek through a cold, snowy campus, while your other friends are currently in Florida, walking to campus wearing a t-shirt and shorts.
9. Anxiety
When you're starting to panic about break coming to an end and all the little voices in your head start talking at once about all the things you still need to do.
10. Panic
The moment when you realize you haven't picked your classes for this semester and the classes you were supposed to take are all filled.
11. Shock
When you go to check out all the books you need for this semester and your total comes to a whopping $743.75.
12. Pain
When you go to check your bank account after paying for all of your books and it not only hurts
13. Frustration
When you get that email from FAFSA and it states that you won't be getting any financial assistance this semester.
14. Acceptance
Coming to terms with the fact that break is practically over even though it never seems like it lasts long enough.
15. Embarrassment
Walking into class on the first day of the semester and noticing the cutest person there, only to catch their eye when you're doing something
Good luck on your upcoming semester, everyone!
