You sit in your lecture hall, mindlessly scrolling through Facebook and Pinterest when your teacher announces your upcoming midterm and you’re like
You promise yourself that you’ll study as soon as you get back to the dorm, but instead you decide to do some more important things
You wake up re-energized, but realize that the latest episode of Empire just came out and you can’t get behind already! Obviously studying can wait.
You realize the date of your doom — err, midterm — is quickly approaching
So you figure you better open up your textbook for the first time this semester
After skimming through a few chapters, you realize how far behind you are in the class… And the midterm is tomorrow
You realize you’ve got a long night of studying ahead of you, but your friends try to invite you downtown and your like
Because you know you need to ace this test
You chug down a RedBull or coffee (or both) and suddenly the energy hits you
A few hours later your caffeine level comes crashing down and you hit a wall of exhaustion, but you can’t fall asleep yet because there’s still so much studying to do
Before you know it, the sun is up and you’re hours away from your fate
And you show up to your exam after that all-night study session like
But you look around and see your fellow classmates looking even worse than you
You’re not scared though, because you’re prepared and ready to kill this test (figuratively, of course)
After an hour of torture, you finally walk out of your classroom victorious
And alas, you have survived your first midterm
But then you realize that was only the first of many…
