When people still give you looks for wearing Uggs, but you know that they definitely keep your feet warm
When your roommate comes in and starts ranting about the 12 papers, 20 exams, 38 group projects and 55 presentations she has to do in the next 2 weeks
When you sarcastically ask your professors if there is anything else due for the class
