14 Signs That This Semester Absolutely Has To End

Every college student spends the better part of each day wishing for the end of the semester, but there comes a point when we don't just wish for it... we absolutely need it to be over if we hope to continue surviving. Between the papers, the group projects, and the impending threat of finals week looming over our heads, there's a time when all of us are so physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted that enough just has to be enough. That time is now. Here are 14 signs that this semester absolutely has to end.

1. Everyone you pass on campus has the look of defeat.

We're all in this together.

2. Wal-Mart is putting out its Christmas decorations.

If it's Christmas at Wal-Mart, it's Christmas everywhere. I don't make the rules.

3. You have lost the will to put together actual outfits.

If it gets bad enough, your Uggs might even make an appearance.

4. You're averaging around two emotional breakdowns per week.


5. All of your dining dollars are long gone.

Buying Chick-Fil-A for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the entire month of October sounded like a great idea at the time.

6. You're questioning your life goals for the 54th time this school year.

Do you really need to have goals and aspirations? Are they worth it?

7. The pros and cons of dropping out have become a hot topic of conversation amongst your friend groups.

You don't really need college. Working at McDonald's is a great job... all the chicken McNuggets you could ask for.

8. Sleep is a foreign concept.

Sleep? Can you spell it? Define it? Use it in a sentence?

9. You've started adding up all of your grades to see how awful you can do on your finals and still pass your classes.

You're Babe, and your GPA is the farmer.

10. Professors have also started giving up.

Emails go something like: "Class is canceled Sent From My iPhone"

11. It's become normal to eat Insomnia Cookies for dinner.

Maybe if you order one oatmeal raisin you'll get some protein or like a vitamin or something.

12. "How is school going?" tends to earn one of these looks.

I haven't slept in six days, I've gained 14 pounds, and my hair is falling out, but everything is great Aunt Trudy.

13. Certain classes become optional.

If it starts before 10 a.m. your attendance should be seen as a pleasant surprise.

14. It's just.... it's time OK?

We're dead, we're tired, we're starving.... just free us.

College has its ups and its downs, sure, but when November rolls around it's really just time to end the struggle. At this point we are all just wandering around waiting for Christmas break to come and put us out of our misery. Just let us struggle through all of our finals so we can call it day. We are broke, we are over it, and we just want to go home and eat Pilsbury Christmas tree cookies with our dogs. Is that too much to ask? Winter break.... please hurry.

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.
