The Second Semester Slump As Told By 'How I Met Your Mother'

I really don't think I can study anymore.

The Second Semester Slump As Told By 'How I Met Your Mother'

We all know the feeling that comes over us once second semester hits. The temperatures get colder, the days seem longer and shorter at the same time, and our motivation starts to dwindle. The days seem so dark as we turn in yet another Blackboard quiz at 11:58 p.m. We are not alone, though. We are all on the same (seemingly never-ending) journey to get those diplomas. Here are some things we all can relate to:

1. Sometimes you just can't do it anymore.

You sure can have that whole bottle of wine to yourself. Go ahead, I won't judge you.

2. There's always that one person who seems to actually have their life together.

Please don't talk to me.

3. When someone tells you that you just need to manage your time better:

GTFO.

4. When you decide to put off homework and go to Taco Bell instead:

Maybe that person was right about my time management problem... Oh well, let me finish this quesadilla first.

5. There's always that one professor you think you love, but then they assign 137 assignments for the same week.

There goes the possibility of enjoying any class ever again.

6. Sometimes you do actually try to do your homework.

Why am I doing this again?

7. You eventually start thinking of your other options besides college.

Are you sure?

8. Trying to decide between taking a nap and studying for your test tomorrow is hard.

The nap probably won.

9. Sometimes you get a little disappointed in yourself for not trying as hard as you could.

I'll try again tomorrow.

10. Then you surprise yourself when you actually get your crap done.

I knew I could do it the whole time.

11. To reward yourself for what you should have done in the first place, you celebrate, of course.

You deserve it!

12. When Monday rolls around again:

This is a joke, right?

13. But don't worry, the end is closer than we think.

We can do this. Hang in there, fellow slumpers!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
