-you go crazy because of the aforementioned cycle and your inability to snap out of the 'teenaged-ness' to the responsible adulthood you're finally craving
-you feel lonely because you don't have family around
-you miss your brother like crazy when you feel like you're going to have a mental breakdown (since the last 3 years of college you had his shoulder to lean on when you needed to vent--it was his duty to listen to you)
-ALL of your woman professors begin to look like you're mom, same skin level of wrinkled-ness, attributes, etc.
-you desire for all those woman professors to give you a motherly touch
-you ache for a long hug (preferably that of a baby's nestled hug)
-you anger easily because of the school work load, expectations from family members, and calling activities and the people in your committee who regularly bail on you after promising to do something
-then within 3 hours you get a KILLER sore throat, chills, fever, the whole works.
-you feel like you could cry when you realize the Lord is really there for you and for once (on the day of getting sick) you do the unthinkable, letting go of all pride and text your visiting teachers and home teachers. and they bring you throat lasanges, orange juice, priesthood blessings, lemon+honey-tea stuff, soup, more lasanges, and the roomies give you some needed tlc
-and after 14 years of attending school you realize that even though you're down in the dumps emotionally and phsyically, time will always move forward. so by tuesdayyou know you WILL be done with 4 midterm exams, 22 pages (several papers), 5 quizzes, 1 football game, 1 job interview for the summer, so many pages to be read, 1 service week, 1 ward social, 1 temple trip (yay!)
and then, i'll be able to take peaceful naps whenever i want, take my time accomplishing my shanksgiving to-do list, watching episodes, reading books, and thinking of everything these last 20 years has helped me become grateful for. oh the life of a growing college adult.
