It’s getting to be that time, almost the end of the semester, but not quite finals yet. We are all burned out on our classes, running low on sleep, and constantly in need of a nap. All college students, no matter what major, can relate to this struggle.
1. How many meals can I make with ramen?
Seriously. This may be a stereotype, but we’ve all been there. Your fridge is a weird combination of old takeout that may or may not be edible, and the campus food makes you gag. Ramen to the rescue!
2. How long can I go without doing laundry?
Laundry is the worst. You have to haul your overflowing hamper (probably full of like three weeks worth of clothes) to the laundry room (where you will inevitably drop your fresh, clean laundry in a puddle of something gross). Let’s face it, we are all crossing our fingers that we have enough clothes to last us until summer break, even if it means pulling out that shirt from high school that we don’t know why we kept this long.
3. Do I have time for a nap today?
Life hack: there is always time for a nap. Even if it’s only twelve minutes before the start of your next class, set that alarm. We’ve all been there.
4. What will I really miss if I just skip one more class?
Lying in bed in the morning, the thought of sitting through another lecture is just the worst. And you haven’t missed that many classes… And you have nothing due today anyway… And that one person who sometimes sits two seats behind you has definitely skipped more than you, so compared to them you are a stellar student… Let’s face it; once the thought is in your head you probably won’t go, even though you will feel incredibly guilty all day.
5. I can totally read for class, watch Netflix, talk to my friends and eat dinner at the same time!
It really just turns into late night snacking and talking with friends while the TV is on, and then rewinding because you realize you have no idea what happened the entire episode. Oh, and the homework is already forgotten.
The end of the semester is the definition of rough, but we will all get through it! Happy almost-finals! Summer, the ultimate prize, is just around the corner!
