The Second Half Of The Semester Slump, As Told By Barney Stinson

Remember last summer when you were able to sit around doing nothing? Even if you were doing something like working two jobs or taking a summer class, nothing was as bad as during the semester. At this point, we are all counting down the days until our responsibilities go away and we can sit back and relax for a minute without falling behind. The mid semester slump is upon us and the only way to get through it is to acknowledge it's presence.

Sitting in lectures like

Evolution of plants in Eastern Europe, balancing chemical equations, calculation summations, and renaissance art all seem to be putting me to sleep in class.

Pulling an all nighter to study for an exam

Why should I study in advance when I can just study the night before and get the same grade?

When professors keep you till the last second of class

Nothing more annoying than when there is 5 minutes in the class period and the professor decides to begin the next chapter...

When your friend says they haven't skipped class yet this semester


If you didn't skip class at least once to take a nap are you actually a college student?

When you barely studied for an exam and still passed

I'd like to give a shoutout to my professor for hooking us up with a 15 point curve.

Paper due 12 a.m. Monday morning ... Currently 10 p.m. Sunday night

There are so many other things I would rather be doing than sitting at a computer in the library on a Saturday night writing a seven page paper.

When your campus holds stress-relieving events and all you want to do is pet the animals

If there is are puppies sitting in the student center, you are obligated to stop and pet them. If you don't, you don't have a heart.

When you have to tell your parents how you're doing this semester

"Oh! I have 2 As, and 3 Bs!" little do your parents know that you're failing four classes and haven't been to your fifth at all this semester.

When you want to go to the frats but you have to study instead

Its a themed party ... but I have to study ... maybe ill just go for an hour... it'll be fine!

When math finally makes sense right before the final

Two words: mind blown. Who knew calculus could actually make sense? Maybe if I went to class all those times instead of taking a nap I would've figured this out sooner!

When you finally finish finals and realize that the summer is gonna be

Believe me I'm sure you'll survive the rest of this semester. In the meantime, make an attempt to go to class, submit your work early, and pet all the puppies you can. Soon enough you'll be able to relax for a few days and let another semester start in no time!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
