12 College Student Struggles At The End Of The Semester

1. Your academic advisor has seen you break down enough times to be considered a close friend.

"I haven't slept in 48 hours and I'm considering leaving college forever. Advise me."

2. The GPA calculator is in your recent search history.

"I can make one D, four As and two Bs and still get above a 3.0."

3. You've thought about dropping out of school and hitchhiking across the country as a new-age hippie because "money doesn't buy happiness."


"I mean, the Amish seem pretty happy doing their own thing."

4. You've thought about dropping out of school and becoming a high-end stripper because, of course, money buys happiness.


"So, I'm thinking about changing my major to something a little more lucrative."

5. Netflix is both your savior and downfall.

"I'll just take a movie break. A two-hour movie break."

6. Every night not spent at the library is one wracked with guilt.


"How can I be sleeping when I have my test that determines 40 percent of my grade in three days?"

7. That 2 a.m. kick of productivity when your circadian clock is out of whack.

"I need to clean my house and meet with my professorright now."

8. You're positive that at least one professor has a personal vendetta against you and wants to ruin your life.

"It's because of that one time she caught me texting in class, isn't it?"

9. Any fun extracurricular event feels like a sick joke to have been planned this close to finals.


"They're mocking me. They would have it the night before my worst exam."

10. The stereotypical procrastination Instagram post.

"#TBT to happier times."

11. At least one of your classes has gone from being a required course to the fifth circle of Hell, circa Dante's Inferno.


" Fire and pitchforks? Or ecology?"

12. Yet, somehow, you're more broke than before.


"The more stressed I am, the less money I have."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
