April means that the semester is almost over:
At first, you can’t wait to get through finals and finally do nothing for 4 months:
And it’s so nice out that really all you want to do is go to Charley’s and sit outside in the warmth:
And then you can’t decide if you want to go chill in the Arb, walk around Main Street, or go get ice cream:
But then you realize you actually have to study for finals:
So you start to convince yourself of all the reasons you don’t need to do well on your finals:
You are literally willing to do ANYTHING that doesn’t involve homework or studying:
And then you wind up pulling a bunch of all-nighters because you’ve procrastinated so much:
So you start making little goals for yourself each day:
And then it hits you:
If the semester is over, you need to say goodbye to your friends for a while:
And then you start to get mad at the people leaving before you because:
1) that means they’re done with finals first:
and 2) they’re leaving you:
Plus if you’re done another year, that means you’re 1 year older:
And now you start questioning your major:
Finding yourself taking online career quizzes:
And start to think of all the random speakers/plays/concerts you never went to this year:
And you promise yourself that next year you’ll change for the better:
But then you realize you need to start packing:
So naturally you come up with every excuse not to start:
Because once you’re packed, those goodbyes are just around the corner:
And you can’t imagine not living across the hall from your BFFs for a whole summer:
So you all start reminiscing on all the great times you had together:
And then you get to enjoy those few days post-finals and pre-leaving:
Going to Skeeps, Charley’s, Ricks, Hopcat, Isalita…. But obviously “staying in the blue”:
And hitting up every restaurant in Ann Arbor:
But you know that before you know it, you’ll be back in the best place on earth:
So maybe it’s okay to sit back and relax homework-free for a little while:
