Midterms Are Coming...And So Are The Tears

Pack up a blanket, load up your Starbucks gold card and head to the library.

Midterms Are Coming...And So Are The Tears

The middle of the semester can be described as the best and the worst of the semester. We are all past the syllabus weeks and the first exams, football games are here and we are more relaxed than last month... but not for long. Midterms. Are. Here.

Midterms can scare any college students to tears. Midterms mean a lack of sleep, most likely a lack of proper nutrition and a lack of socialization.

How many of us run to Starbucks with a laptop and textbook in hand to begin our all-nighter studying for that midterm that no one wants to take? We get delirious around hour 3 and start texting/calling friends for moral support (and food). We spend more hours at Lib West or Marston (because who goes to Newell) than we do in our own apartments.

How many students live off of delivered food and vending machine snacks while studying versus having any sort of freshly cooked meal? Thank goodness for Uber Eats and Bite Squad during midterms, otherwise, all students may starve. $1.75 for this bag of chips can be my meal til breakfast right?

What are parties? Who are friends? The only people I hang out with are the Starbucks cashiers and the security guards at the library entrance. Forget happy hour, group dinners and parties for the next month. Everyone is at club Marston instead of Midtown.

Don't worry too much though, the feeling of success after not failing a midterm makes the long days and starvation worth it in the end. You'll have plenty of time after the test to be a glutenous, lazy college student again.

While most college students become pale and frail during the middle of the semester, it does end... for now. Don't worry though, we will visit all of the emotions again during finals season.

All I have to say for now is... Good Luck Charlie.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
