10 Thoughts Going into the Spring Semester Explained by OITNB!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UH chapter.

Orange is the New Black has announced its new season will be on Netflix June 17th, just as the spring semester commences. The brightside is that you won’t have your favorite Litchfield inmates distracting you from studying, but the downside is that you won’t have your favorite Litchfield inmates distracting you from studying.

Understandably, you dread waiting for a new season of OITNB just as much as you hate going back to school. These 10 sporadic thoughts may just cross your mind as you jump start the spring semester.

1. “Why can’t I drop out and be a bum?”

After making Netflix and your body pillow ‘bae’, the last thing you want to do is interact with civilization.

2. “I might actually survive this semester!”

Whatever happened in the fall is the past. You can start fresh this semester and make it count!

3. “No, I don’t want to be here!”

“Vacation you” and “Studious you” are two totally different people. Don’t fret. After a couple of weeks you’ll get your footing and being on campus will be much more bearable.

4. ” I’m just not gonna look at my GPA.”

Last semester was a little rough, but it happens to the best of us. Now you know to study in advance for a test rather than studying in Garrison or CBB right before your test.

5. “Where are my tacos?”

Being able to eat whatever your heart desired for the past month has come to an end. Tacos cannot be on the menu every night as you try to get in shape for your valentine or spring break.

6. “I probably should have ordered my textbooks in advance.”

We all do it. We assume that our professors don’t assign anything on the first day of class. But every time we are wrong.

7. “Can I cast a spell on my professor?”

It is seldom that you thoroughly enjoy your professor. Regardless of your feelings try to find pleasant qualities because it might just spare your grade.

   

8. “Having a planner was a cute thought.”

You probably stood in Wal-Mart for 10 minutes shuffling through the different pretty planners. Sadly, it was all for nothing. After receiving every syllabus for every class a piece of you died and the color coordinated pens and planner hit the floor. It’s okay. Whatever happens, happens.

9. ”Please let there be cute people in my class!”

Learning should always be your main objective, BUT it never hurts to have a cute classmate to talk to when the lecture can get boring.

10. “I don’t care. I’m wearing sweat pants.”

Making it to class should be enough.
