From Attendance to Sundress season to Zero Cares in the world

The ABCs Of Spring Semester
The Potomac Reporter

All you need to know about spring semester in alphabetical order. I mean, how much easier could it get?

A is for ATTENDANCE:

The semester starts out with the temperature being colder than balls, which makes you want to stay in your nice warm bed. It ends with the temperature being in the 70s and sunny, which makes you want to go outside. Attendance this semester is important, but there is probably a 0% chance of you ever wanting to attend your classes, ESPECIALLY as the weather turns from drab to fab.

B is for BOOZE:

With the winter blues still in full swing to spring break to Cinco de Mayo, this semester is fiiilled with liquor. Be safe. Be smart. But drink your lil heart out.

C is for CINCO DE MAYO:

Cinco de Drinko, Drinko de Mayo, literally whatever you call this holiday, I know you're gonna be celebrating it. Whether you're a white girl who thinks it's totally cool to wear a sombrero, or even if it's just another excuse to drink a marg the size of your torso, Cinco de Mayo is going to an important day for you and for your liver to think about all the harm you're doing to it.

D is for DIPLOMA:

If you're a senior, a diploma is the thing you're supposed to receive at the end of the semester, it's kinda the whole point of actually going to college in the first place.

E is for EXERCISE:

At the start of the semester you're probably still going to the gym and not eating carbs or gluten or whatever due to the whole "new year, new me" bullshit, buuuut as the semester goes on you're probably going to go back to your old ways of ordering calzones at 11PM and drinking entire pitchers of sangria with your roomies (I definitely (do)n't know this from personal experience) but if you at least exercise you'll feel better! You'll be less stressed, you'll have more energy, and you'll probably sleep better at night, so EXERCISE, PEOPLE.

F is for F***ED:

This is what happens when you drink too much and attend too few classes this semester. Sure the weather's getting nicer and there are more things to do, buuuuut don't be fuckeroni-ed and get shit done.

G is for GRADUATION:

Girls, go ahead and start looking for the perfect lil white dress to wear as graduation gets closer and closer and closer. Also, what you're writing on your mortar board probably took your three weeks to come up with and now you have no idea how you're going to actually accomplish it.

H is for HOMEWORK:

Just like fall semester, spring semester is also filled with homework. The only positive thing is that you can probably study for your finals outside rather than sitting in the stuffy library like you did when the weather was 27 degrees and sleeting.

I is for INTOXICATION:

Basically, you're probably gonna be drunk for an entire semester, especially if this spring semester is your last semester before you graduate and reallllyyyy have to adult. It's also your last chance to go out with your friends before you all depart for the summer.

J is for JOKES:

Whether your grades are a joke or you're part of one of those campuses that reallyyyyyy likes to pull a prank on April Fools Day, or really any day really, or you use jokes to help get through the pain of leaving your happy place at the end of the semester for a whole four months, this word has more influence on your semester than you might think.

K is for KNOCKOUT:

Ladies, I got two words for you: SUNDRESS SEASON. As the weather gets warmer the official best season of the year starts and that's sundress season. Not only are sundresses stupid comfy, buuut they might also get you asked out on a few dates. So, be a knockout and wear the shit out of your sundresses.

L is for LOSSES:

Take your L's this semester. They're gonna happen and they're probably gonna be minor, but when they do happen make the best of them and be grateful that you'll be outta school in a blink of an eye because spring semester goes by wicked fast.

M is for MONEY:

Let's face it, when the semester comes to an end you're probably realizing that you have about $13.46 left in your bank account that's supposed to last you another 3 weeks, but spring semester is worse because you probably spent alllll of your money while you were away on spring break. OR you're a responsible adult (how dare you) and you spent all of spring break working and you're the only one out of all of your friends who can actually afford to go out. Either way, you're gonna take the L.

N is for NETFLIX:

When spring semester first starts and it's as cold as balls outside, you probably spend your time between classes watching as much Netflix as possible because as the weather gets warmer and dartys become a thing again, the amount of Netflix you watch declines A LOT. So, binge while you can.

O is for OOPS:

Either you spent most of your time studying or you spent most of your time partying and you feel that either your social life suffered or your grades suffered. It's hard to balance school and being social especially if you have a job, are a member of clubs, are trying to have some sort of dating life, and the list goes on. Say "oops" and learn from your mistakes this semester. Take the summer to relax and recoop and come back in the fall feeling focused and fresh.

P is for POT:

If you go a big school, 4/20 is probably an important date. Whether you're a marijuana enthusiast or you couldn't care less, there will probably be a pack of students smoking some loud on the quad for the entire day. 4/20, BLAZE IT.

Q is for QUIDDITCH:

Whether you like to admit it or not, your college probably has a Quidditch team. You might think this is super lame or be totally into it, either way, now that the weather is getting nice again, the Quidditch team will be out practicing more and more frequently, and I suggest going and watching because it's kinda cool and really amusing.

R is for ROOMMATES:

Hang out with them while you can because pretty soon you and your gang are gonna be separated for an entire four months, and there's a high probability that you won't living with them again next year because, "i don't know, they're great people, but they're kinda hard to live with."

S is for SPRING BREAK:

Whether you go home to relax, go on a mini vacation, or go allll out and leave the country, there is no wrong way to spend spring break, unless you're spending it sober. I mean, it's really the highlight of the entire semester.

T is for TIME:

Spring semester is notorious for flying by. One second it's the beginning of February and you're finalizing your spring break plans and the next second it's finals week. Plan accordingly and make the most out of your time!

U is for UMBRELLA:

Before the weather gets nice, it rains, a lot and there is a 300% chance you're going to forget your umbrella when there's a borderline monsoon at least once during the spring semester.

V is for VACATION:

Whether it's spring break or that little three day weekend you might get for President's Day in February, there's a lot to look forward to during Spring Semester when it comes to not having to go to class.

W is for WILIN' OUT:

As I've mentioned before, spring semester is loaded with drinking and partying and dartying and even if you're not a big partier, the chances of you getting a hold of spring fever and "wilin' out" at least once, is very likely.


X is for XANAX:

Just like fall semester, the anxiety level of students during spring semester finals sky rockets and so does the passing around of Xanax. Whether students are taking bars to help them relax, or just to get high (10/10 don't recommend) is the real question.

Y is for YUKE:

For those of you who don't know, "yuke" is like "puke," but pronounced without the "p." Thinking about being having another completed year of college, or even just one full year done, is frightening and would make anyone wanna "yuke" or "vom" or whatever way you say "puke."

Z is for ZERO FUCKS GIVEN:

The second you are done with your last final is the second you are freeeeeee for a whole four months (unless you're taking a summer course, ouch). Get lit, go out, and enjoy yourself while you can!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
