Seminar. A seven-letter word that brings desperation and dismay to seniors’ lives. Here are some things not to ask these struggling souls:
- “Are you done with your seminar?”
- “Have you finished your paper?”
- “Have you set a date to present?”
- “You do know that URICA is in two weeks, right?”
- “Why didn’t you do this in the fall?”
- “Well, why aren’t you working on it now?”
If you do ask these questions be sure to brace yourself for ugly, rude, smart-aleck comments to be shot back such as:
- “Are you done talking?”
- “Of course I am! That’s why I’m slamming my head into this desk — for nothing.”
- “Set a date? Ha!”
- “Yes, I do know, but did you know that you’re annoying?”
- “I clearly had more important things to do like eating and sleeping.”
- “Obviously I like to induce stress upon myself and live a miserable life.”
For all of you who now know not to pester these dangerous creatures, do not take it personally. We do not mean to be rude. We just have too much stress for us to handle. (Which is why we clearly should have listened to the seniors before us when they told us to finish it in the fall.)
For all you underclassmen — get prepared and GET YOUR SEMINAR DONE IN THE FALL.
For all you seniors out there stress eating, having random mental breakdowns and of course binge watching Netflix, I understand the pain. However, we can power through. One word will help — GRADUATION.
