The end of the semester is drawing close and naturally, so are deadlines for assignments.

When I entered college last year as a mere first-year, I had a wholly different method of studying. Sit down in front of your books the night before X was due and cram.

That kind of stuff just doesn’t cut it anymore when the work you have to turn in is something like a 5 page analysis of economic policy.

Just the research for something that easily consumes hours, forget even writing it in a vaguely understandable way.

And then when you do find relevant stuff, it’s a whole another ball game just trying to understand it. My personal belief is that academia is secretly using another language that only sounds like English but has nothing to do with actual English.

Especially when arguments supposed to be made with English are made in math. With exponents.

Such is the life of a college student.
