The End of The Semester, As Told By Friends
Cosmopolitan

You've made it through almost everything. The key word is almost. After months of hard work, late night study sessions, and early morning lectures, you're rewarded with a winter siesta. But after a few short weeks in paradise (on your living room couch) it's back to reality. Everyone says that the second semester goes by so much faster, but how come no one ever mentions the second-semester slump?

Here are 8 things we all feel during the second semester expressed it by the cast of "Friends:"

1. Getting slammed by several exams in one week.

2. Professors making jokes at your expense.

3. Counting down the days until summer.

4. The night before finals week.

5. Congratulating yourself for every little accomplishment.

6. Shredding all of your assignments when the semester FINALLY ends.

7. Learning to love the L's you're taking.

8. Setting new types of goals


If you feel like you can relate to any of these GIFs, you're totally not alone. Every college student goes through the second-semester slump— you've just got to learn how to fight through it.

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.
