When spring break comes to a close, every college student is hopeful that summer time is right around the corner. A time with relaxation and no school work in sight. However, before we can get there we are bombarded by assignments, exams and papers that seem to overwhelm us... coincidentally all at the same time. The low motivation level does not help with the excessive amounts of work. Here is how college students feel getting through the spring semester told by the characters in 'This Is Us'.
1. All of the assignments that are due in the same week
After spring break, endless amounts of homework and papers are thrown your way. Every time you think you have completed one assignment, another one is due.
2. Feeling stressed out
As each week passes by you think that it will get easier but then somehow you end up more stressed than before.
3. Trying to pretend you're still sane
When people ask how you are and you have act like you have it all together. In reality, you have 3 tests, 2 papers and are running on 3 hours of sleep.
4. Tests
Your professors suddenly want to have a test every other week on the increasingly difficult material, and all of your professors seem to be on the same page.
5. Lack of sleep
There is not enough time in the day to accomplish all of your work, so you have to fight the urge to sleep until infinity and do more work. Yay.
6. Getting anxiety about your GPA
Getting tests back and trying to think of creative ways to raise your GPA.
7. Easter Break
If you go to a Catholic University, Easter Break is the light at the end of the tunnel.
8. Procrastination taking over
You suddenly find yourself organizing files on your computer instead of facing the pounds of work you're put off.
9. Crying becomes your new hobby
Half the time you don't even know why you're crying, it just feels like the correct response.
10. Don't worry! Were almost done!
Keep the faith college students! Before we know it, we will make it to the promise land that is summertime.
