…I took AP [class] in high school, this won’t be too hard…right?

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…Okay, I’ll make a list and schedule of things that I have to study, and THEN I’ll start studying.

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…I don’t remember this from class, did they even teach this to us? Is it even in the book?!

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…I know, I’ll get coffee from Starbucks and I’ll be wide awake to study!

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…Why is there SO MUCH to know???

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…I am NOT going to remember all of this.

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…When am I EVER going to use this in real life?

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…Oh gosh, is there gonna be free response?

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…Is there gonna be a curve?

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…I’ve been studying for a while, I’ll reward myself with a few minutes of [social media]!

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…Do teachers get together and plan for all the midterms to be at the same time?

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…I’ll just calculate how badly I can do on this test and then add it to a hypothetical grade on the next test and the final and…you know what? I’ll just get my shit together by the next midterm.

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…Is it too late to change my major?

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…I wonder if I can give up and still make it in this world.

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…Fxck it, I’ll be a stripper. [roommate] wanna be a stripper with me?

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…WHY did I take this class?

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…Why am I even in college?

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…I’m NEVER procrastinating on studying ever again.

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…Maybe the professor will postpone the test…

 

#studyingformidtermslike

…I’ll just wing it.
