20 GIFs That Explain The Feels Of A New Semester ​

I have officially gone through all of my syllabi for the spring semester, and in case no one has said it yet, I am stressed. I am taking 18 hours, five classes, one six-hour intensive Spanish class, and an extensive reading list. While being so incredibly overwhelmed by this semester's workload, I am simultaneously just as excited about it.

I have a new mindset going forward to not expect anything specific but to just put my best into each class. I have very interesting classes on my schedule- Juvenile Delinquency, Urban Sociology, Introduction to Law, Psychological Research Methods, and as I mentioned previously.. a six-hour intensive Spanish class. In all of my undergraduate experience, I have never had a midterm test nor a paper to write (except in writing comp and in my last research methods class at UAB), but here we are with a midterm test in ALL of my classes and at least one long paper in ALL of my classes. Nonetheless, this semester has such a bright light at the end- GRADUATION!

I just felt that it would be appropriate to spotlight some of the emotions students might be feeling regardless of what point they are at in their academic career. After all, we are getting one step closer to the ultimate goal!

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.
