8 Songs To Survive The Semester With

It seems this semester of college has come and gone in the blink of an eye. Papers, projects and exams are looming in the shadows. Part of me wishes I could pull out my wand, fight some magical being and have the headmaster say that exams are cancelled...but this is not Hogwarts, and sadly, I am a just a muggle.

However, what I do have is a magical playlist that sums how I feel about college and to help me make it through this semester.

1. "Good Enough" -- Evanescence

(media.giphy.com)

"I feel good enough for you" as I type the conclusion to the fifth paper this week. I gave it my all, and I will feel good enough for that.

2. "Ring of Fire" -- Johnny Cash

"I fell into a burnin' ring of fire / I went down, down, down / And the flames went higher, / And it burns, burn, burns, / The ring of fire, the ring of fire." Exactly how I feel when I walk in confident about a quiz, and once seeing the quiz, I completely blank. Guessing takes you so far, but it just burns.

3. "Problem" -- Ariana Grande

I'm not entirely sure who that guy is in the picture, but his face is perfect for the moment when you are turning in a paper whispering, "I got one less problem without ya".

4. "Waiting on Words" -- The Black Keys

Have you ever tried to write something, and you're just sitting there like, "I'm waiting on words / I'm waiting on the one I've been thinking of"" It is a tragic feeling, and overcoming the loss of words is worse.

5. "Lazy Song" -- Bruno Mars

(stream1.gifsoup.com)

I finish my work and sing out, "Today I don't feel like doing anything / I just wanna lay in my bed!" Then, I take a nap because that is acceptable when you are a college kid.

6. "Titanium" -- David Guetta featuring Sia

(38.media.tumblr.com)

"I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose / Fire away, fire away," is the perfect description of the feeling of thinking you have completed everything, so you walk into class to find that the professor has assigned more work.

7. "It's Time" -- Imagine Dragons

Procrastination is a real struggle, so you just look at your work and think, "It's time to begin, isn't it?" You take a deep breath, and slowly start to work.

8. "Uprising" -- Muse

This song is to pump you up before going into an exam. Just start singing, "They will not force us / They will stop degrading us / They will not control us / We will be victorious!"

These are just a few of the many songs on my "Survive College Playlist." Most of the time I just watch Pitch Perfect because it is a wonderfully scored movie (both the first and the second). I want to wish you good luck with school with whatever songs you may listen too!

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
