When we used to gripe and complain about senioritis in high school, we had ABSOLUTELY no idea what we were talking about. Yes, school was stressful then, but it gets even more stressful before it ends.

Not to discourage you from applying to college or actually going to college. It's absolutely wonderful and I could talk for days about how much I love my college and all of the friends I've made here. However, college is a step up from high school. But it doesn't really hit you until the last month or two of school.

You know, those months before summer when high schoolers are planning for prom and skipping exams because their grades are high enough? Yeah...in college there are no proms and if we skip our finals, we automatically fail. So, it is quite different.

Granted, the workload varies by major and what you want to do with the rest of your life but, to give you an example, I'll tell you about my schedule. I am an English major, so I do have to read and write more than other majors probably do.

Last week I had two long papers due, two essays, and two quizzes in addition to finishing a novel for one of my English classes and reading a bunch of poetry. And we haven't even gotten into "finals season" yet! Needless to say, I will be vegging out on Netflix and novels that I actually *want* to read ASAP.

And sleeping. Definitely sleeping.

But there are so many people already thinking about summer, I don't know how they do it. Don't get me wrong, I love summer and I'm super excited about it. I'm excited about having some time in the classroom as an assistant teacher when I go back home, working at the daycare again with my little two-year-olds, and just getting a break from the grade book for a bit.

However, to be completely honest, I can't even think about summer right now because that just makes me think of all the things I have to get done for school before summer can actually start! So, then I get stressed out!

Right now I'm taking it day-by-day, week-by-week. And that honestly makes the weeks go by quicker, instead of counting down to the very last day of the semester. One thing is for sure, though, this year sure did go by fast!
