It’s draining, it’s terrifying, it’s unavoidable, and it happens to all of us: it’s the mid-semester slump. While it may feel like the end of the world, you can make it through the middle of the semester, even when you feel like you just can’t go on anymore. Just remember that you’re not alone, and even lady bosses like Leslie Knope understand the slump.
When you feel yourself losing all control of your life
When your mid-terms suddenly start appearing out of nowhere…
…and your professor starts telling you everything you’ll need to know
Literally just the inside of your mind all day, every day
When you just need caffeine and someone in front of you orders a Frappuccino, making your wait time ~that~ much longer
Trying (and failing) to dodge all of your responsibilities
After studying or doing any type of work for a solid 10 minutes
When Netflix is calling your name at 11:50 but an assignment is due at 11:59
When you give in to Netflix and realize the grave mistake you made
Listening to your friends talk about how ~easy~ their classes are
When stress eating becomes your diet 24/7
Trying to function like a normal human being after getting a solid two hours of sleep
When you’re willing to sleep anywhere, and at any time
Literally any time you catch yourself procrastinating
