If you've been on Snapchat at all over the past week or so you've it all. The first wave of spring breakers going to their destinations, the next anxious for theirs to begin.

The First Month Of The Semester Told By 'The Great British Baking Show'

Cotswolds

The beginning of the semester is a stressful time. A new schedule, new professors, and new course make the whole process painful. Some start off with a huge amount of optimism, enough to make some envious, while others start fearful and stressed. No matter which one you are, once you get to a certain point you automatically become stressed and maybe even fearful. That being said, here are 15 feelings and situations I'm sure we can all relate to the first month of the semester.

No, this isn't a passive article at all..

1. Ugh, summer is just around the corner. So you mean to tell me I have to break out my shorts?

2. Warmer weather- who cares about better moods, tan lines, driving with the windows down!

3. Ahh, the rain. The wet, plant growing, greener gas enhancing rain..

4. So I have to dress for winter in the morning and then have to strip by lunch to provide myself a blanket to lay on to soak up some rays? How dare this weather be so courteous!

5. The dang birds! It gets a bit warm outside and they think it is appropriate to go waking me up in the morning with their cute little noises and chirps- ugh!

6. Spring insects, gross! Why do butterflies and ladybugs have to be so pretty?

7. I don't see why people like going to the park, it's just a bunch of fresh air and pretty colors!

8. Mother Nature is so annoying how she just decides one day she's going to look nice and give us the best day- how rude.

9. You mean I have to see all of these bright colored pictures instead of the dull/gloomy pictures on Instagram now? What a bummer..

10. Campfires and homework on the porch is so overrated, I don't get what all of the hype is about..

8. I can finally get some sleep.

9. I can finally take some time for myself.

10. I'm for sure doing something next year.

Everything is love.

My college experience is different but I wouldn't want it any other way.

1. You WILL be late to class at some point

2. You have to reach out to friends and make plans

3. Your schedule will be a problem sometimes

4. The friends who make the time to hang out with you, are the real ones

5. Some days you'll really dread the commute and that's ok

6. Most of your money will go to food

7. Sometimes you won't dress according to the weather and you'll hate it but you'll survive

8. Sometimes you'll feel like you aren't getting the full college experience

"I know what I'm doing but I don't necessarily know why I'm doing it." -Ali

1. When you think this semester shows promise

2. But then you realize

3. So you say a prayer

4. Yet you still freak out EVERYDAY

5. When you briefly feel like you are doing fine, but feel the stress looming

6. And you hit the point where you'll take what you can get

7. When you have your first breakdown

8. And you go a bit insane

9. Even lose it

10. So you indulge

11. And doubt yourself

12. So you give yourself a pep talk

13. Your friends support you through it

14. And the process pretty much continues all semester

15. Until Finals
