'That time of the semester' struggles

In This Article:

It is the last week of October, soon to be November. The semester ends exactly in a month or so, we only have a couple of weeks left. These are some relatable struggles every college student goes through when we reach "that time of the semester".

Sleep deprived

"You look like a crackhead" a friend replied to me in response of my daily Snapchat streaks. This is the time of the semester where you can no longer hide that you are sleep deprived, instead you embrace it. #Teamnosleep is catching up to you.

Loss of motivation

Giphy

Do you find yourself scrolling through Instagram while a show plays out loud from your TV, knowing that you have piles of assignments to conquer? Yup, same. It's that time of the semester where you lose motivation, this loss later becomes procrastination. Watch out... deadliness in the rearview mirror will eventually catch up to you.

Grades aren't adding up

Have you ever pulled an all nighter and ended up receiving the worst grade on the exam either way? "How did my A- turn into a D in a blink of an eye?

Try to relearn a whole semester

Giphy

Currently taking a fundamentals to physical science class, just discovered I'm actually taking a physics class and can't mentally comprehend math and science combined... trying to relearn a whole semester because I still don't get it.

Skipping class to catch up with other class

This is a dangerous game, becomes like a drug then an addiction. You are suddenly skipping classes to catch up with other classes.

Breaking out

Aloe Vera isn't adding up anymore. Pimples begin to randomly appear everywhere, I mean everywhere...

Crying breaks

Mental breakdowns are a common ground. You tell yourself you'll be okay after a crying break. You cry it out and continue the unmotivated grind.

Is Withdrawing an option?

Withdrawing is in fact a better option than failing, but you got this!

Accidentally skipping class

Maybe your alarm didn't go off, but you unintentionally end up skipping class...

Balanced diet? Healthy life? Never heard of her

Although you swore this was going to be your time to reach your body goals and achieve a healthy lifestyle... it's okay it's that time of the semester.

Just a reminder that you can get through these "time of the semester" stages, you are a badass and don't stop the grind!

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.
