With all of the stress that comes with college, the semester can feel like it may never end. We may have started the semester off strong, but here we are 7 weeks in and ready for winter break.

Here are 10 thoughts every college kid is thinking at this point in the semester:

1. "Can I please drop out?"

Do I really need this whole college thing? I don't need a career. I'll just live on mac'n'cheese and in my parents house the rest of my life.

2. "I'm broke."

I really want sushi tonight, but my bank account says I can't even afford McDonald's. Mom and Dad are officially tired of sending me money, and I suppose I'm on my own now and selling plasma!

3. "Please hire me!!"

I'm tired of updating my LinkedIn and tailoring my resumes. Please just hire me, I swear I'm qualified. What do you mean I need 2+ years of experience for an entry-level job? I JUST GRADUATED.

4. "I thought this class was supposed to be easy..."

BiSci 4? Easy right? Wait, how did I just fail the exam?! "You HAVE to take this gen-ed, I swear it's the dumbest and easiest thing." WRONG.

5. "When can I go home?"

When can I see my dog again? I want to hug my mom. Can I leave this weekend? Just kidding. I can't leave, too many exams and can't afford gas!

6. "My liver is shot."

My liver is black, I don't think I'm supposed to feel this way. My weekend long benders are out of control. I bounced back a heck of a lot faster when I was a freshman.

7. "Everything hurts and I'm dying."

My head hurts, my back hurts, I feel hungover simply from sleeping, I can't fall asleep without melatonin anymore, I can't find time to sleep. OUCH!

8. "Oh no its happening...the plague!"

God, I love waking up and feeling like a prickly ball is stuck in my throat and having a 102 fever. My, oh my, the Penn State plague is great. Or is it meningitis?

9. "Sleep, social life, and grades. Pick 2."

Let's go out tonight. Cheryl, it's a Monday night... get your shit together. Crap, I have 4 exams this week. Eh, let's go out tonight anyway. *gets home at 3 A.M. from the library* It's OK, I didn't want to sleep anyway. :)

10. "I need a 36 hour day. Or a 3 day weekend."

I have 4 meetings, 3 assignments, 4 classes, 2 papers, and a quiz all due tonight. JUST NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
