10 Stages Of A College Students Spring Semester

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svwy-s-9TUM

It is getting towards the end of the year which means us college students are freaking out. We are worried about final projects and final exams but at the same time, we are planning our summer which should be the last thing on our minds. Here are the stages every college student goes through during their last semester.

1. We get a planner

Odyssey

This way we can start organizing our thoughts. We write down our homework, what days we work and possibly a song lyric we just heard. Then we forget to keep up with it or possibly lose it but once we find it we start it up again.

2. Then we start our studying

Giphy

We are doing good. We are studying and getting our projects done. Maybe we even work out a bit to keep our adrenaline up. We got our brain pumping and we are feeling good.

3. We decide to take a "break"

Giphy

You know we worked for a solid couple of hours it is time to treat ourselves to some social media or Netflix. One episode, maybe two or maybe we decide to watch a movie but only one. It's all about the balance, you know.

4. We just found some new music

Giphy

During our break or studying we find some new music. Well now we have to jam to it, a good song deserves our undivided attention. So, we jam out, maybe dance in our room or start texting our friends "hey check out this new song" until we remember we were doing something.

5. So, we go back to studying

Giphy

We are doing good. We are studying and getting our projects done. Then our eyes start to droop, we are getting tired. So, we can either take a nap or get coffee but do we have time for a nap? No one has time for that.

6. We drink our weights in coffee

Giphy

We get the big one and maybe an extra shot, or maybe the whole pot... We get ourselves wired to the point where now we can't even sit still, let alone study. So, instead we start doing things like clean our room. The rooms messy and it needs to be cleaned anyways and we are still being productive!

7. We decide to go out "one last time"

Tenor

One last time before finals start and we get too busy to go out with our friends. This is a good time to stop and let your stress go. So, we dress up and go out and maybe go out "one last time" next week, but this time it is for real.

8. And we study some more

MakeAGif

It is the next morning and we got our coffee and possibly an Advil. But we are studying and getting stuff done. It is getting close and there is not that much left of this semester. We got this.

9. Then we break down...

Giphy

We don't got this. Why did we choose to go to college? Why did we grow up and have to work these jobs? Why couldn't we stay a baby, a baby doesn't have to do anything, why did we grow up? What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Why is my ceiling so bumpy? I should get up; I am creating a puddle with my tears and my back is getting wet.

10. We are finally done

Giphy

We have turned in our projects and finished our exams. We aren't worried about the results because at least we made it and now it is time for the summer.

Every college student goes through stress but it gets us ready for the stress of being an adult. All of us have our break downs and procrastinate like our lives depended on it, but we all have the ability to be successful.

Good luck!

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!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
