The 7 Stages You Go Through EVERY College Semester

In This Article:

Miami just started, so I'm still in phase one, but my boyfriend has been in school for three weeks so he's in phase two or three. Wherever you are, enjoy the process!

Excited to see all your friends again after a long break.

You're back, moved in and ready to party! Enjoy syllabus week while it lasts. You know it's about to kick into overdrive.

End of the first week. You have a little homework, but you're still motivated.

You're ready to crank out your homework, and you're getting all your work done ahead of time. You know it'll be rough if you wait till the last minute to do it all.

The first week of exams hits, and you suddenly realize how hard the semester will be.

Suddenly, sh*t just got real and you realize you have a LOT of studying to do and a LOT of catching up to do if you want to do well on exams.

There's 27 group projects, a paper, 12 meetings, and you work 4 shifts this week.

What's sleep? Haven't met her! You're overwhelmed, exhausted and ready for a break.

Either spring break or fall break hits and you are READY.

You've been killing yourself all semester to keep your GPA up, and there's FINALLY a break! Go celebrate and enjoy!

You come back to campus for the end of the semester and wrapping up classes.

You come in ready to knock out the end of the semester and keep that GPA high!

Finals week. No description necessary.

You do NOTHING besides study and eat. That's it. If you're like me, you lock yourself in a study room somewhere and study for hours every day for the entire week. Definitely not an enjoyable time, but it can make or break your grades.

And of course, after the semester is over, you get a nice break to look forward to before you have to go do it all over again!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
