Life As A Second Semester College Senior

A balance of partying and cover letters.

Second semester can either be really fun, or really stressful. A time for endless parties, but also endless tears, caused by having to apply to jobs, and to start doing adult things all on your own.

1. You find yourself wanting to do everything, but know that deep down you're still too lazy to really care.

On the one hand you're like:

But on the other:

#Balance.

2. Graduation was once a wonderful beacon of hope you used to dream about. Now, it's essentially been marked as Doomsday.

Just the thought of it makes you want to cover your ears, duck for cover, and curl up in a ball.

3. You laugh at all the freshmen who try really hard at everything.

Look at all those freshmen running around doing everything and looking nice. Ahh, so young. So naive.

4. Trying to write a good cover letter and resume is more stressful than writing an academic paper.

5. Senioritis has hit an all time high.

6.You know at least 8 people that are engaged.

Which makes you think how you don't have your life together.

7. Hearing about how everyone else is getting job interviews and offers is making you more stressed out/ angry/ emotional.

"Oh you just interviewed with J.P. Morgan? That's so great!" *sheds one lonely tear*

8. You're really tired of being asked what your plans are after graduation.

"Well Karen, like I said back at Christmas, I have no idea, so quit asking me."

9.You may enjoy the perks of being a senior, but you're really jealous of freshmen because they've still got time to live.

10. You' start to buy more business casual outfits.

Unfortunately, it comes with a high price.

11. Hookups < Dating.

You'd much rather find a special someone than just fool around and hate yourself for it later.

12. You used to joke about having no money, but now having no money is a real crisis.

13. You're scared but excited at the same time.

You're at least a little excited to see what the future holds for you.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
