You Know It's The End Of The School Year When...

A good night sleep is three hours.

You Know It's The End Of The School Year When...
Gabby Rose

It seems like just yesterday it was January and we were moving back in from winter break (on the other hand, to some it may seem like the semester started 5 years ago and has been a never ending nightmare). Nevertheless, whatever your feelings on this past school year has been, there are some tell-tale signs that summer is near and quite truthfully, we couldn't be more grateful.

Your bank account is struggling

Whether it is your bank account or your dining dollars…you’re out of them. Which leaves you scavenging around for that last $.20 you need to buy that ramen noodle gourmet meal.

Professors start mentioning the semester-long project that seemed “so far away” at the time

Sitting in class at the beginning of the year not really listening to the professor talk about a big project due at the end of the semester because “that is just so far away I’m not going to worry about it now.” Well, that “far away” is next week and it isn’t even started.

Finding an empty table in the library is like winning the lottery

Walking into the library during finals week is essentially a death trap, people crying, people in denial, people everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Forget sitting at that table you have been frequenting all year, just squeeze in where ever you find room.

Everyone under God’s green earth has seemingly become sick

It never fails that right before finals one person gets sick and two days later the rest of campus is also sick. Fighting through the bubonic plague while trying to study for finals is a feeling that has become all too familiar.

Your outfit game is at an all time low

On your way to class/finals, you look down astonished that you actually walked out of the house looking like you do. The worst part is that not one ounce of your being even cares (okay, maybe a little but ain't nobody got time for that, there is studying to do).

Your sleep cycle has become comical

Forget naps and forget that good night sleep, sleeping for 3 hours a night has become normal. So normal that when you tell people, you immediately wonder why they are looking at you with such horror.

You have started calculating every possible way to get an A

We all have that one website bookmarked to determine how low of a grade we can get on the final to still have an A in the class…or at the very least a passing grade in the class.

Group projects.

For whatever reason every professor has decided that an end of the year group project would be a great idea, the only problem is that you hate people as much as you hate projects and trying to figure out a time for five college students to meet up for hours at a time to get the project done is basically an impossible task.

You have run out of everything, but it makes for a great arm workout violently shaking that bottle of shampoo to make sure it lasts you

Forget about buying a new bottle of shampoo with just a week left in the semester. You better believe I am shaking that bottle like there is no tomorrow to make sure it lasts me.

No one shows up to class because they have saved up all of their skips

You would think that end of the semester review sessions would be popular but no, alas, it never fails to show up to your 8:00am to see that 4 out of 45 people have shown up.

And those who do show up you’re left wondering if they have actually been in this class all year

But those who do actually show up are the ones who have failed to show up for class all semester and have come to the realization that they have to show face at some point. Are you sure you even go here?

Your room is a hot mess (minus the hot, double the mess)

Between frantic mad dashes to get to class on time, and spending every waking second in the library, forget having the time to clean. That mountain of clothes on your bed is just going to have to do for now.

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.

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.
