Ah, that time of the semester where tests, projects, papers, meaningless assignments, and everything else that was procrastinated weeks back piles up. I am proud to welcome the high levels of anxiety and stress to my life for the next five weeks. Make yourself at home!
In the midst of all the chaos, I can’t help to stop and think, “Where did the time go? How are we already wrapping up another academic year? And why didn’t I get on top of my sh!t earlier?”
It’s that time of the semester where all other responsibilities other than school go out the window. My room will most likely look like a tornado has gone through it, I won’t have matching socks on, and my hair will be in a bun 94% of the time (I’m not sure what it will look like the other 6% of the time).
Oh, and I am so sorry to my poor body for what you are about to endure. It’s time to adapt to interval sleep sessions, eating at random hours, and an assortment of Red Bull and Monster Energy drinks to get through the days that feel like they won’t end. Sounds a bit dramatic now, but don’t deny, we all have felt this at some time or another.
And to my dearest friends, I know I said, “That’s it, I have so much to do, I can’t go out for the rest of the semester”, but I promise, you will find me right by your side on a Friday night thriving off of two hours of sleep, and too much caffeine. And, of course, we will end the night inhaling pizza, chips, crackers, and whatever else seems edible and delicious in the moment.
So, to the next five weeks of my life, I have no idea how I am going to make it. Probably a whole lot of coffee, shenanigans with friends, and a good amount of phone calls to mom begging for moral support.
