I saw a tweet earlier that senioritis has nothing on the spring semester of college. Is that not the truth! All motivation seems gone after spring break, but your grades are begging you not to give up. So how does one survive the never-ending spring slump, from never knowing what to wear, never wanting to go to class, and only thinking about summer it seems impossible to survive.

Well, here is a list of helpful tips to help you survive.

1. Don't Start a New Netflix Show

I just did, ("Gilmore Girl" fans?!) and now I hate myself because I frequently worry about if Lorelai and Luke will end up together, more than I think about my pressing Calculus homework.

2. Create a Countdown

Knowing I only have to use the community bathrooms for 35 more days is the best thing I've ever heard.

3. To-Do Lists

Hold yourself accountable!!!

4. Extra Coffee

Need I say more???

5. Plan something fun to do after finals

@Vance Joy Concert, I'm coming for ya! I wanna get all this work done so I can enjoy that!!!

6. Enjoy time with your sweet school friends

Being separated for three months is going to be so sad! Roadtrip?

7. Look up summer jobs!

Luke's Diner, anyone??? Better get prepared to make bands this summer!

8. Remember your GPA needs you

I'm the last person that cares about school, but I also don't want to fail.

9. Envision hanging out with your dogs!!

You can't hang out with them if you have to retake a class in the summer.

10. Plan out your next fall semester

You can't get there unless you pass your spring semester!

11. Think about your summer wardrobe!!!

This is just a personal preference but you could treat yo self to a shopping spree.

So these might not be the most efficient things to make sure you are actually doing homework, but they are all pretty motivating! So keep grindin'! You got it, you are in the homestretch and I believe in you! Summer, here ya come!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
