The Two Weeks Leading up to Winter Break: A Survival Story

Like most students, I was beyond excited to go home over Thanksgiving break. There’s great food, your own bed, family, friends, and most importantly—no class. I did not, however, realize how awful the next two weeks of classes would be. I’m not sure whether I just suppressed the memory of last year’s two-week Hell or if I underestimated how bad the two weeks leading up to winter break truly are.

I realize that everyone on campus right now is thinking the same thing, so I decided to put our universal thoughts onto paper and create a list of 30 things you think during the two weeks leading up to winter break:

1. I seriously hate school.
2. Why am I even in college?
3. Imagine the money I could have saved.
4. What’s on the final?
5. I have no idea what this review sheet even means.
6. I’m so screwed.
7. Maybe if I stay in between the white lines long enough, a car will have to hit me, I’ll get free tuition, and I bet my professors will feel so bad for me they’ll give me an A.
8. I’m out of Dining Dollars.
9. Eating in the caf today, #18cafswipes.
10. How many cups of coffee have I had today?
11. What time does the library close?
12. I need a drink.
13. What’s that new Justin Bieber song?
14. Am I a Belieber if I like his recent album? … Ok, thank god.
15. Hopefully I have enough clothes to last without doing wash.
16. I hate everything.
17. I have so much work to do, but Netflix.
18. Why is it so cold?
19. Is Domino’s still open?
20. I should really go to the gym.
21. Is it bad that I haven’t started studying yet?
22. I hate group projects.
23. Think the professor will notice if the margins are bigger than one inch?
24. The library is going to be packed right now, I hate people.
25. How is that on the final? We didn’t even learn that.
26. I’ll get a 100 in class participation … right?
27. I’m asking Santa for passing grades this year.
28. How low is a low GPA?
29. A for effort?
30. Just hand it in, I don’t give a s%@! anymore.
