Those "End of the Semester" Feels

The feelings of when the semester comes to a close

Those "End of the Semester" Feels

Thanksgiving break is over and you know what that means? THE END IS NEAR.

"It's the most wonderful STRESSFUL time of the yeeaaarrr!" ♫

Coming back after any sort of break is tough, and it's even harder when you come back during the worst part of the semester: the end. I know, I know: "But Maddy, the semester is over, how is that the worst part?"


Our brains are fried, our bank accounts are empty, we've been living off of Ramen Noodles, and don't get me started on those stress pimples. College is always stressful, but it's even more so when we reach the point in the semester where we all have front row seats on the Struggle Bus™.

The end of the semester is coming (Which is definitely exciting) but we still have a couple weeks left on this crazy roller coaster we call "college" and the light at the end of the tunnel still requires the part where we have to get through the tunnel.

We're all going to experience a storm full of different emotions, and let me remind you all of what to expect as these last few weeks come at us swinging.

1. The final days of trying to save your grades

You're starting to regret skipping all of those reading assignments now, am I right?

2. Searching for motivation to finish assignments

It's that point in the semester where I use all of my unfinished assignments to make a white surrender flag.

3. Not getting any sleep

Okay but let's be real, do college students EVER get any sleep?

4. Walking into a final completely unprepared

5. Emotional breakdown #1

You're a mess, your GPA is a mess. Everything is a mess.

6. Considering dropping out of school

I mean... strippers do make good money... right?

7. Emotional breakdown #2

You're still a mess, but during this breakdown you'll call mom or dad to cry (I'm talking hardcore ugly crying) and they will assure you that being a stripper is not your only career option.

8. Thinking about leaving your friends over break

Actually sobbing thinking about how all of my friends are going to go home this break and are not taking me with them.

9. Realizing that #8 means that you're going home too

YAS. You get to see your dogs, eat food that doesn't come in a package, AND have your mom do your laundry for you!

10. Thinking back to the kick-ass semester you just had

You made it! You cried a lot along the way, but you also made some killer new friends and some even better memories.

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.
