...until your first week is over and you already have three papers due soon, an exam coming up, several group projects to work on, all on top of working after classes and the four meetings you have during the week and weekend...

"Why am I already freaking and stressing out? We just got back!?" You say to yourself. Just so you don't explode from everything already, you ask your roommate and friends to help you out.

You get to your first class of the day and go to sit in that perfect spot you've planned out and find someone else in your seat...

Time for the first presentation...you haven't had class or done anything with these students (except the one who stole your seat), so you don't know how they're going to react or receive you...

Next class, you're working on group projects. Two of the students are arguing over how to do it, one guy is just sitting in the back on his phone, and someone else left for the bathroom 45 minutes ago. You decide to take over the whole operation.

Next class is your math class, and while your teacher is lecturing and explaining it all, you think you get it. When you get back home to start doing your work, you've forgotten everything you learned and doing homework is impossible.

When you stay up all night to finish a paper and study for exams, and drink so much Monster and coffee to stay alert, it feels like your heart is going to explode.

When Ramen noodles and Easy Mac cups won't cut it for dinner, you decide to hit up the nearest pizza place. You deserve it after all of this hard work!

Sometimes the work just gets to be too much and all you can do is lie in bed and watch Netflix to distract yourself from responsibilities. And you don't listen when your roommate suggests you start working so you won't be stressed out as much.

Pretty soon, the first weeks are over and everything seems like normal as you finally get into a routine and you aren't losing your mind every few moments. Everything is amazing and you feel great!
