The Many Struggles Of Spring Semester Explained By The Godfather

It is once again, the most awful time of the year for college students. After 10 long months, it is almost time to pack everything back up and move home for a relaxing three months. As one of you overly stressed college students, here are a couple struggles I always seem to face in the last two weeks of Spring Semester explained by one of my favorite movies The Godfather. Hopefully, none of you are "sleeping with the fishes" by the time finals are over!

Organizing your schedule and realizing how mentality and emotionally taxing these next two weeks are going to be.



People begin to ask if it's true all your motivation to do anything is gone.

Finally, last week of classes hit and all the assignments you have to finish hit you all at once.


On top of all the assignments you have to do, your professors announce your finals are cumulative.


Logging in to enroll in your fall classes and finding half of them are full.


You haven't gone to office hours all year, but show up in the last week of classes like:


When you professor tells you not to wait until the last minute to write your term paper and you're just like:


When your friends ask to go to one last darty and you're stuck there contemplating between fun and responsibilities.

Sitting in the library studying for finals, while it's nice outside:


When your tutor asks if you can recall any information you remember from your class.


When work calls to ask you to work a double shift the day before your final.


You find yourself binge eating Pop-Tarts at 2 a.m. trying to cope with the fact you have an exam at 8 a.m. in the morning like:


Looking at the first question on the final, questioning why you even went to college.


Trying to keep your composure while finishing the final like:


Realizing everything is done and you survived yet another year of college.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
