Campus

During finals week the classroom building turns into an all-night study hall. Four cups of coffee later, you are still on page one. Your roommate's alarm goes off at six and keeps ringing until eight; he sleeps through it, the whole room does not. The club meets for a semester and produces one poster. The canteen raised prices by two yuan and the taste stayed three years behind. Senior year: twenty resumes, three replies, two rejections, and one asking you to pay for training first. Teachers say it gets easier after this, but you do not even know where after this is. College is called the easiest time of life; only the people inside know that anxiety is also a required course. Write it down anonymously: I really am trying, I just do not want to pretend I am not tired. Graduation is not the finish line; it is the moment the invoice finally arrives.
