You can already feel the sand between your toes and summer sun soaking into your tan skin. For most college students, the month before summer vacation, you are already on summer vacation. You know, despite the four Essays, six exams and three group projects that are due. The final month before summer vacation is easily the most difficult. If it isn't because of all the work we have to do, it's because we don't want to do any of the work! Summer is all we can think about, and we thought senioritis was bad!

Let's face, college students are bound to experience these 12 stages their final month before summer vacation, and who better to express this than our beloved, "The Office."

1. Professors Pile On The Work


I regret complaining earlier in the semester... this is awful!

2. The 8 Homework Assignments You Thought You Had Is Actually 14


If you don't believe it, it can't be true, right? Wrong.

3. You Can't Get Passed 2 Sentences Of Your 6 Page Essay

Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is common knowledge on how to use my words. Sincerely, A Very Frustrated College Student

4. You're Creating Your Summer Playlist In The Library Rather Than Actually Studying

Does studying lyrics count?

5. Finals Are 2 Weeks Away And You Still Haven't Checked What Days They Are On

Okay, I should probably start feeling a little worried now!

6. You Drink Twice The Amount Of Coffee As Usual Because You Think It Will Give You Extra Motivation

Espresso on top of espresso on top of espresso, please!

7. Colleges Around You Are Already Out For Summer So You Cry Yourself To Sleep

This isn't fair. We ALL know this isn't fair!

8. Your Professor Piles On MORE Work!

Because stressing myself out to the point of grey hair wasn't enough, right?

9. Finals Week Is Finally Here, And You Realize You Haven't Even Opened Up A Text Book

It's okay. I'll be okay. I'm not okay.

10. You FInally Have The Motivation To Study For Your Exam Tomorrow Because You Don't Have A Choice

We can do this! We can do this! We can do this!

11. You Take Your Exams Half Way Confidently But Only Because You're 3 Days From Summer

I mean yeah, I think I did okay. At least I can see the light!

12. You Came. You Saw. You Conquered. It's SUMMER!!!

Time to sleep for three months!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
