11 Signs You're Over This Semester

It's all downhill from here.

11 Signs You're Over This Semester
www.hercampus.com

There comes a point in the semester that everyone reaches where they just can't keep motivated anymore. With only about a month left of school, it is nearly impossible to stay on task of your work, meetings, plans: pretty much anything that you should be doing. I'm almost positive any college student can relate.

1. You cringe at the amount of homework you're assigned.

Why, professor, must you assign more homework this week than you have all semester?

2. But you still procrastinate until the last minute.

10 page paper due Monday morning at 8:00? If I start at midnight on Sunday I'll have enough time to finish and earn a decent "C" paper. C's get degrees, right?

3. ...Which makes you feel even more overwhelmed.

While you're procrastinating you constantly think how overwhelming your work is becoming, yet you still continue to procrastinate.


4. Your bank account barely exists.

Welp, I guess the the $20 mom gave me after break will have to last me the rest of the semester.

5. Your notes look more like doodles.

When your friends miss class and ask you for your notes, you laugh because there is nothing but random shapes and hearts in your notebook. You just don't have the attention span to follow along in lectures anymore, so might as well look productive by doodling in your notebook.


6. You fight the urge to skip class daily.

...or maybe you don't and just skip class anyways. I mean, do I really need to learn about Socrates being accused of corrupting the youth?


7. You have a count down to summer.

Admit it, you've had one for months now. You're just more public about it now that summer's only a month away.


8. Binging on Netflix becomes more and more of a priority.

Because Meredith Greys' life has been, and always will be, 10x more interesting than mine.


9. Home-sickness is at an all time high.

Okay, whatever, you were just home like two weeks ago but you still can't wait to be in your comfy bed, not doing hours of homework, and hanging out with friends instead.


10. You can't get summer off of your mind.

Daydreaming about the sunny summer days and long summer nights has become part of your daily routine.


11. Everything.

Seriously, though. You just can't do the whole "school thing" anymore.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
