The Stages Of A New Semester

The rise and inedible fall of your motivation at the beginning of the semester. If we're being honest I'm making this instead of writing a paper.

At first you're excited!

Classes are great! School is GREAT! It's going to be an easy semester, you're taking a DRAWING class. Easy, right?

The first day is a breeze

You're flying high, nothing can bring you down.

Then comes the second day.

Why are they going over how to write an email? This is suppose to be a 300 level class. Can we actually start learning?

By week two things are worse

You're motivation is out the window, there's so many things you could be watching on Netflix or Youtube.

Then its midway through week two at 2 AM

You've binge watched at least half a season of Orange is the New Black or Doctor who, or some other show. You know you have things due Friday but you've got time.

Then you realize you don't have time

You have a paper or two due in less then 12 hours. You have to get your shit together. It's only two weeks into the semester for gods sake.

So you buckle down

You get everything done. It might not be your best work but hey, at least it's not a zero.

But the pattern continues

You put things off until right before their due, even though you said this semester would be different.

But who cares, you're fabulous

Plus there's always next semester right?
