10 Things To Motivate Your Tired Soul Through Midterms

Alysha Fauci

Midterms can be overwhelming, so here is a list of things to motivate you through this stressful time:

1. You are so close to being able to see your DOG!

The day fall break starts snapchat and Instagram stories are filled with dog (and other pet) photos, and it is incredible! When you feel like you can't get threw your last few classes just remember how close you are to seeing your beloved pet!

2. You are halfway done with that class you hate.

Everyone has that one course that they dread going to. Whether it's boring, dry, overwhelming, impossible, or however else you would describe it as just remember: you are one midterm away from have a break from it!

3. A home cooked meal is calling your name.

It's not a secret that college food is not known for being good. After midterms week you will finally be able to go home and have a home cooked meal and won't make you feel sick (hopefully)!

4. You are one test away from being able to sleep in your own bed

If accessorized appropriately (mattress tops are a live saver) a college bed isn't the most uncomfortable thing, but nothing beats being able to sleep in your own bed. You are almost there, you got this!

5. You finally will have time to binge watch that T.V. series or movies you've been dying to see

Free time isn't a thing in college. If you have the opportunity to watch T.V. or just be lazy every then congratulations but for the majority of us we have a never ending list of movie and show recommendations we want to watch but never have time for.. until now! Fall break is the perfect break to get cozy and caught up on movies and shows!

6. Do it for the GPA

We are all in college to get an education and ultimately a job, don't put too much pressure on yourself but make sure to remind yourself that your academics are important. Although it's terrible right now, in a couple weeks or next semester you probably will look back on whatever class you are struggling through and be proud of what you accomplished.

7. You will be able to catch up on sleep you've probably been behind on since school started

From cramming for tests, finishing up last second homework, and just catching up with friends you haven't seen in forever: you probably haven't been sleeping as much as you should. Don't worry, after midterms you can finally catch up on that sleep!

8. After midterms you will be able to see your family and your friends from home

We all get a little homesick sometimes. Fall break gives everyone the opportunity to spend time with their family and friends from home and recoup for the second half of the semester. Enjoy and cherish the time you have with loved ones!

9. You will be able to go to the local restaurants you love

Whether you are from New York or New Jersey and are dying to get some "good" pizza or bagels, or you just really want to go back to that one restaurant or cafe you grew up loving, after midterms you can finally do that!

10. You can switch out your summer clothes for fall!

Everyone loves fall! Fall break is the confirmation that our favorite time of the year is finally here! Time for sweaters, flannels, boots, and more fall wardrobe necessities!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
