It's nearing the end of the semester when all the assignments, papers and group projects you procrastinated doing are now due. The time in the semester where you start prepping for the dreaded week of finals that leaves you drained mentally and emotionally. When the exhaustion really hits you and so does the flood of emotions that comes with exhaustion crying can become something that happens daily. These things are sure to make almost any exhausted and drained college student cry.

1. Seeing a dog on campus.

2. The reaction of a contestant's family on "The Voice."

3. Thinking about all the deadlines that are approaching quicker than you can say "Why me?"

4. When you find out the average on your last exam was much higher than you expected.

5. Finding out that you have to get 130 percent on the final to get an A in the class.

6. When you have no clue where to start when studying for your finals.

7. Seeing the friend that you haven't seen in weeks between classes, but you don't even have time to talk.

8. The fact that you've been living off of caffeine and energy bars for the past month, and all you really want in life is a nice homemade meal.

9. You haven't showered in...wait, when was the last time that you showered? It's been that long? Crap, I should probably do that.

At least the tears are masked by the water in this one!

10. Knowing that only four weeks separates you from eternal freedom...for a couple of months.

11. Looking at your bank account.

It's best to just avoid this one at all costs.

12. Cute videos of genuinely happy dogs.

I recommend this one!

13. Being able to go home and be with your beloved pet every day.

14. Registration time.

15. The exam that you spent weeks preparing for that you still bombed.

16. Even glimpsing at your planner that has too many marks on it to even be legible at this point.

17. The messy state that not only your life is in, but that your room is in, too.

I'll clean it up when I move out.

18. When caffeine doesn't even help anymore.

19. A good night's sleep becoming five hours.

20. Having your card decline when you're in line to get coffee.

Not only are you extremely embarrassed, but now you also don't get the coffee you were so needing.

21. When someone takes your unassigned, assigned seat.

22. That "Oh S***" moment when you are taking a test, and you haven't even heard of half the things on it.

23. When showers don't bring you solace anymore.

24. Let's be honest, what doesn't make a sleep-deprived and stressed out college student cry?? EVERYTHING can make a college student like this cry!!!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
