We're a little past the half-way point this quarter and it's been a tough one. It seems like these weeks have been dragging by but, luckily, the quarter is nearly done! We can see the end!

But, of course, it's easier to make it through the next few weeks with a little bit of inspiration. And there's no better source of inspiration for how to get through the next few weeks of the quarter than "The Office." Here are some ways to get through the rest of the quarter as told by "The Office"!

1. Acknowledge and accept that this quarter has been the worst.

The first step toward healing is acceptance. Even though we had high hopes for this quarter in the beginning, we have to accept that it is just the absolute worst. Whether it's due to hard classes, bad professors, or the dreary weather, this quarter has taken a nose dive.

2. Spend some of your free time in study groups.

Even though you've accepted that this quarter is horrible, you still need to put in some effort to make sure your grades and GPA don't tank. Best way to do that? Spend a little extra time studying and in study groups.

3. Lighten things up with some humor.

This quarter is just so hard. *ba dum tss* But seriously, there's nothing like a good laugh to make you feel better. Take a break and turn on a funny movie or watch a comedy special on Netflix. Whatever will make you smile and laugh.

4. De-stress with some cute animals.

Nothing is more relaxing and happy-making than petting and playing with some fluffy, cute animals. If you don't have one of your own, maybe ask a friend who has a pet to let you come over for a while or visit your local animal shelter and give the animals there some love!

5. Treat yourself with some of your favorite food.

Order some pizza, get some takeout, buy some ice cream... whatever comfort food you like the best, get it. Treat yourself. You deserve it!

6. Start daydreaming about Spring Break.

Warm, sunny days, no school-related stress, time to sleep in, and the freedom to just relax and do what you want. Oh my gosh, please, I need this. Dreams of spring break will get me through winter quarter!

7. Let off some stress by dancing.

Whether it's at the club with friends or alone in your room, put on some upbeat music and shake off the stress with some dance moves!

8. Fake it 'til you make it.

Even if you're stressed out and feeling like this quarter is getting the better of you, act like you're rocking it. Attitude is everything and if you're acting like you're doing awesome, chances are things will start getting better. Keep a smile on your face and stay positive!

9. Celebrate the little victories.

Made it out of bed? Celebrate! Turned in that challenging assignment? Woo, celebrate! Another week closer to the end of the quarter? Party! Don't be afraid to celebrate the small victories! You deserve it.

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.
