Sophomore year is a weird part in your college career. You're no longer the fresh meat, but you're also not fully considered upperclassmen. It just means you're basically older freshmen. With that comes the infamous sophomore slump. It's rough. It's even worse when you know that you have to start taking on more responsibilities. You're going to start looking at summer internships and class practicums. This is when you have to start putting more serious thought into what you want to do with the rest of your life—for real, this time. As if that wasn't terrifying enough, you're now 19 or 20 years old. You're proper adults. I don't know about you, but I still get nervous having to call my bank. Lucky for us, the characters from "Parks and Rec" totally understand.

1. You're significantly less dedicated to Gen. Ed. papers.

As much as you would love to have started over this year being much more studious and well prepared, you're just not—you're actually a lot worse. Suddenly, those 500-word papers that were once a piece of cake take a significantly longer amount of time. When in doubt, just write whatever you can to fill that quota.

2. You put your work off far too long.

The problem with this is that when it hits you, it hits you hard. One day everything is completely fine, until it's a week before mid-terms and you realize that you've put things off far too long. This is usually when the mental breakdown starts.

3. You just stopped trying to eat healthy.

Trying to eat healthy always sounds like a great idea. You'll lose weight. Be healthier. The only problem is that eventually, you're just in too much of a rut to keep it up, and maybe you're just too tired to care.

4. You start looking for the easy way out of situations.

If you're like me, as time passes, you start living life a little bit on the wild side. No, I don't mean go to parties all the weekend and never sleep. Well, I never sleep, but not because I'm partying. As the semester continues, you start putting off your papers until the last possible moment. Eventually, you will start competing with Blackboard to see if you can get your papers in and submitted before you are locked out. It's not a good plan but it's a plan.

6. The idea of being responsible makes your anxiety skyrocket.

As you get older, you're going to have to start doing really not fun things. For example, doing your taxes. You'll have to start applying for jobs and internships. You'll also eventually have to make your own dentist appointments.

7. Eventually you will realize that you don't actually know anything...

One of the best things about being in college and being forced to grow up is that you learn how to fake it until you make it. One of the most important things I have learned in my life is that if you do something confidently, most people won't question it.
