Fall Semester is Like that Horror Movie with the Girls in the Cave

I feel like the girl in the (almost)last scene of The Descent - you know that super claustrophobic movie where the girls go explore the cave and all the scenes are of them in suffocating crawl spaces, super close-up? Well, after like 2 hours of zoomed-in, can't-breathe shots, and drowning in a thick, mucus-y vat of blood, the main girl claws her way out, drives her hands up through the glorious Earth, all dramatic-like, and finally breathes in fresh air, taking in the vast blue sky.

I feel like that girl. Except this semester has been the shitty, dank cave with monsters in it, and my geology class was the gross blood pool, and the feeling of submitting my last paper was not unlike taking a breath for the first time 4 months.

It's a beautiful thing.
