The End of the Semester Truths by Parks and Recreation

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

When you realize there’s only 4 weeks left, and all the projects/papers/exams you haven’t started yet are actually going to be due

 

Then the rush of determination hits you

 

And you reread all of your syllabi

 

And your study group won’t respond to your text messages

 

And you accidentally sleep through your 8am

 

And you wonder why you took an 8am in the first place

 

But you make it to the weekend

 

And your friend invites you to dinner

But then you remember you’re broke

Like, really broke

And you begin to break down because finals are approaching

 

And the last few weeks drag on

And the person who never goes to class asks you for the notes

And your roommate asks if you want to study in the library

 

And it kinda feels like your professors are doing this

 

But finally it’s Finals Week

And your mother asks you how you’re doing

 

And the person next to you in the library plays their music without headphones

And your classmate asks how you’re going to pass the class

 

And there’s only one more open table next to an outlet

 

And you decide to just sleep in the library

 

And you take your first final

 

But eventually, the semester ends.

 

 

Until Next Time…

She grew up in southern California, and even though she misses the warm beach, she really enjoys living in wine country in northern CA. She has always had a passion for writing and is so grateful that Her Campus allows her to share that love and encourage others to join in the fun.
