A Letter To Those Struggling With Senioritis
Frontline

We all know that time of year, it's that time of year when all your tests (for all your classes) are on the same day. When you first start out in college it seems easy-- you have everything down to a T and if push comes to shove, you have four more years to make it up. Let me tell you that Senioritis is a real thing, and mental breakdowns your senior year is also a real thing. Here are the 10 things, really NORMAL things to do when you are stressed out and have senioritis:

1. Cry about it.


Seriously, let it out. Those are your emotions and right now is a reasonable time to let that stress come out.

2. Run it out.


"They" (whoever they are) say that working out is a great way to release endorphins and endorphins make people high on happiness.

3. Sit down and study


Now that you are tired from working out and crying, try to study a bit and get on track.

4. Just kidding, eat empty calories

Just like exercise, food is also a comfort. But if you are trying to be healthy, go towards the better options.

5. Cry some more

Let it out, its okay!

6. Find that nice adult beverage (if you're of age) and take a sip... or two.

NO MORE THAN TWO SIPS!!!

7. Watch Netflix

Take a break from all this nonsense and watch mind numbing shows.

8. Study some more


Seriously, get cracking on those books.

9. Get coffee.


AGAIN, just like working out, caffeine also releases endorphins.

10. Relax... everything will be okay!


YOU TOTALLY HAVE THIS!! Just stay motivated to finish in the long run.

The best thing to do when you are fearful of the future is to sit down and relax. Yes, you had the entire first part of the semester to study but you're not perfect! It is OK to be scared but it is not OK to give up. Keep on going and you will graduate and everything will be great. Right now you are doing something that most people have not done! You are so close to getting that expensive piece of paper that holds your future! Do not give up and realize it is okay to break down; please, just do not give up!!

Sincerely,

A girl who is also suffering from senioritis.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
