13 Things College Kids Say When The Semester Is Almost Over

The end of the semester is just over the horizon, and these are the tell-tale quotes to prove it.

13 Things College Kids Say When The Semester Is Almost Over
Five to Life

With Thanksgiving break in sight, the end of the semester draws closer and closer. With the end of the semester comes the frantic, sleepless nights from stress and excess caffeine intake, as well as tell-tale exclamations that prove we're all "done."


1. "I need a nap!"

This is a common quote of mine, spoken right around when the clock strikes 1:30 p.m.. Sluggish and tired, all I want to do is nap the day away.

2. "Wait! We had homework!?"

This is frequently used when you forget to check the syllabus for one day, which just happens to be the same day that your professor has changed the date of the homework assignment.

3. "Alright, but first, can we go get coffee?"

This is me. Every day. Even though I've had enough coffee to power a small factory.

4. "I'll do it before class."

No you won't, don't lie.

5. "I'm a failure and I'm dropping out!"

This one is usually said over a pint of Ben and Jerry's and with a massive amount of study material surrounding you.

6. "How did people graduate from this?!"

Honestly, some of this is just impossible.

7. "This room is a mess."

Because, let's face it, by the end of the semester, it is.

8. "I'm only wearing a dress because I had no clean pants."

Clean laundry becomes scarce, and you start to dig deep in the closet, coming up with the most insane outfit you own (most likely last year's pro dress).

9. "What do you mean the test is TOMORROW?!"


The same day as your ethics exam, biology quiz, and English midterm.

10. "Do I have to go?"

As you trudge out of bed in your onesie, Cheetos stuck in your hair.

11. "I have no idea what I'm doing."

None of us do, it's okay.

12. "I'm so fat."

Again, said over a pint of Ben and Jerry's, with Netflix playing in the background, but whatever, you do you.

13. "I need to get my life together."

It's just so hard.

But hang in there, guys, the semester will be over before you know it, and you'll be crying to come back soon!

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.
