7 Ways To Make It Through The Semester Alive

April is the Sunday of spring semester. You try and try to squeeze in the last bits of fun before summer break, but while the weather is getting warmer, the work is getting harder, and it's far too easy to get completely overwhelmed. Starting final projects, meeting with group members, writing papers, and spending any free hours in the library is hard enough, but trying to squeeze it all in on top of parties, day drinks, and nights out is the ultimate balancing act. Personally, when I start feeling the stress-induced April blues, I like to turn to others for inspiration. And no one screams, "My life is 100 percent together," like the cast of MTV's "Jersey Shore," right?

1. Take a deep breath and try to relax.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone.

I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe.
