College-Coma

You know those days in college that just seem to never end, and by sunset you feel like you just went through the entire week itself, only to check the calendar and realize that just one day has passed? Just one Tuesday has gone by and I feel like it's time for the weekend already. Tuesdays. My dreadful day of the week with three one-hour-and-twenty-minute classes, starting at 11am and lasting until 5:20pm. Add a dose of everlasting homework and a prior night's sleep of about five short hours and I become a walking zombie, spacing out with blurry eyes and blank expressions. So what do you do when this college-coma washes over you? Put on your favorite iTunes studying playlist, write out your homework plan of attack, with the hardest tasks listed first, and just force yourself to start working. Give yourself a break about halfway through your work (a shower, a phone call, 10 minutes of Facebook stalking) and have a set time that you can aim at to finish. Taking my own advice, here I sit, cracking open a fresh Naked juice, thinking of giving myself all three break options, and slowly falling asleep to my soothing playlist. Forcing myself to cope with this coma, I'll wrap up this blog post and continue working my way down my long list of to-dos that these Tuesdays never fail to test me with.
