If you haven’t heard of “Stranger Things”, well, you must be doing more with your summer than just binge watching Netflix *cough*.
Either that, or you literally live under a rock (there’s no other explanation). In all seriousness, there’s good reason behind the hype of Netflix’s “Stranger Things”. Something that there isn’t so much hype behind, though, is 9am lectures. Getting up super early (probably hungover, after only a few hours sleep) to listen to someone read a Powerpoint that you don’t understand for 4 hours? No thanks.
Here’s what it’s like to actually attend your 9am lecture, as told by “Stranger Things”. Because what’s more relatable to university life than a bunch of kids hunting for a monster in an upside down world?
1. You spend the day before mentally preparing yourself, feeling determined that tomorrow will finally be the day that you get your sh*t together.
2. But you have serious regrets as soon as you wake up.
3. Saying goodbye to your bed is devastating.
4. Because the thought of venturing into the outside world is just too much.
5. And it truly hurts to learn that you don’t have enough time for breakfast.
6. You lowkey hate your housemates who are all still sound asleep.
7. When someone asks where you’re off to so early.
8. You curse yourself and your terrible decisions on the entire walk to the lecture hall.
9. You walk into the lecture hall and confirm your suspicions that this was an all-round bad idea.
10. But it’s too late now, so you reluctantly take your seat.
11. Your lecturer begins and you pretend to know what the hell is going on.
12. But you soon turn to the person next to you for help.
13. But they’re not really sure what’s going on either.
14. You suddenly start second guessing whether you’re even cut out for university learning at all.
15. Then someone finally plucks up the courage to ask one of your burning questions.
16. But the lecturer’s answer couldn’t be more vague, even if they tried.
17. People start asking really unnecessary questions, only making the lecture drag on and on.
18. You’ve never felt a hatred so strong.
19. Then, as if by some miracle, the lecturer finishes up and dismisses everyone early, and the joy you feel is unlike any that you’ve felt before.
Never, ever again.
