Lately, everyone talks about how these are supposed to be the greatest four years of my life, but I've been feeling the most stressed out I've ever felt in years. Classes act as if they are the only class you have ever taken in your entire life. How are we expected to get everything done in the time span it is supposed to be finished?

Not just that, but we are expected to get our work done and go out and maintain a regular social life as though we don't have five class loads of homework waiting at home for us. And since we live alone without any supervision, really, we have the ability (or weakness, in my case) to come home and do silly things that simply is not the work we are supposed to be getting done!

What's worse, for Michigan students at least, is that we are in the full swing of classes. Quizzes, papers, tests all coming out of nowhere from the same direction with all the same due dates and no time to prepare or even fully recognize that this is our life at the moment. Whereas, I feel as though every other school is still stuck in "Syllabus Week Mode" because they start so much later than us.

Honestly, the only thing getting me through this time is that we finish in April and every other school in America will end in May. I'm not kidding, that is the only thing. Now, wish me luck on this French exam that I definitely will not study for!
