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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
