When spring break comes to a close, every college student is hopeful that summer time is right around the corner. A time with relaxation and no school work in sight. However, before we can get there we are bombarded by assignments, exams and papers that seem to overwhelm us... coincidentally all at the same time. The low motivation level does not help with the excessive amounts of work. Here is how college students feel getting through the spring semester told by the characters in 'This Is Us'.

1. All of the assignments that are due in the same week

After spring break, endless amounts of homework and papers are thrown your way. Every time you think you have completed one assignment, another one is due.

2. Feeling stressed out

As each week passes by you think that it will get easier but then somehow you end up more stressed than before.

3. Trying to pretend you're still sane

When people ask how you are and you have act like you have it all together. In reality, you have 3 tests, 2 papers and are running on 3 hours of sleep.

4. Tests

Your professors suddenly want to have a test every other week on the increasingly difficult material, and all of your professors seem to be on the same page.

5. Lack of sleep

There is not enough time in the day to accomplish all of your work, so you have to fight the urge to sleep until infinity and do more work. Yay.

6. Getting anxiety about your GPA

Getting tests back and trying to think of creative ways to raise your GPA.

7. Easter Break

If you go to a Catholic University, Easter Break is the light at the end of the tunnel.

8. Procrastination taking over

You suddenly find yourself organizing files on your computer instead of facing the pounds of work you're put off.

9. Crying becomes your new hobby

Half the time you don't even know why you're crying, it just feels like the correct response.

10. Don't worry! Were almost done!

Keep the faith college students! Before we know it, we will make it to the promise land that is summertime.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
