How It Feels At The End Of Every Semester

It's a crazy sprint to the finish line.

Here we are again: Easter break is over and there are only a few weeks left in the semester. After the short weekend, the hailstorm of projects, papers and tests will come raining down, and they won't stop until mid-May.

1. You get back from Easter break and everything seems okay for a full four seconds.

2. Then you take a look at your calendar and realize how much work is coming up in the next week, alone.

3. You sit down and make a neat and detailed list of everything that you need to do until the end of the semester ... and you get so caught up making that list that you don't end up doing any actual work.

4. Alright, fine; quick Netflix break. You deserve it. Maybe.

5. Six episodes later, you sit down to write your essay and the prompt is so uninteresting that you just take a nap.

6. You wake up re-energized and ready to get to work, but your mind is so all over the place that you can't decide where to start.

7. You pick an assignment and sit down and get it done.

8. Yes! Write that paper! Do that take-home test! Complete those professor evaluations!

9. Oh no ... you didn't forget that you have to pack, did you?


10. You didn't forget that you have to SLEEP, did you???

11. You take a three-hour nap and wake up just in time for that 8 a.m. final.

12. You write furiously for a full hour and dump everything out of your brain and onto the paper.

13. Victory! You've turned it in! You're done! Go home and enjoy your summer!

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
