Spring Semester Sucks

Here's how you deal with it...or maybe not.

Finals week is coming up QUICK and honestly, it's not even the worst part about the end of the semester. At this point, summer is so close I can almost taste it. I have plans with friends, and it's going to be great, but a mere couple of stressful weeks stands between me and freedom.

My main problems with the end of the spring semester are pretty major. I hate how many social activities happen, I hate how much school work I have to do and I really hate the concept of graduation.

As I've moved through college I've realized that the end of the spring semester is much worse than the end of the fall semester. In fall, you know that school is not over and that everyone will be reuniting in a short few weeks. We are simply gone from our friends for a little bit before coming back and doing it all over again. We do not have to worry about saying goodbye to our friends for what could be forever (dramatic, I know).

In the spring semester, we have the added stress of graduation, aka when all of your older friends leave forever. I sadly have three close friends graduating this semester and I hate that we are going to have to say goodbye to them in a few weeks.

Another thing I hate about spring semester is how busy everything gets in the last four weeks. If you thought the end of spring semester would be a breeze, well, you thought wrong. Naturally, you would think, "everyone is getting ready for finals so school is going to be dead." Well, you would be wrong.

It seems like everyone sees this as the perfect time to start doing everything that we didn't do throughout the semester. Newsflash everyone. Ya girl is failing a class so I don't have time to be all social. Am I going to try and participate in everything? Yep. Is it the worst? Also yep.

The final pet peeve of mine is schoolwork itself. It seems like at the beginning of the semester teachers have a meeting and decide to make every due date on the seemingly same day. I went from having virtually no work due to having three tests in a matter of two days. WHY.

Please have more things due at the beginning of the semester. It's not fair to us students to put every major due date within a span of two weeks. We had another 10 weeks that we could've turned this paper in but nope. Its due this week of all weeks.

Genuinely, I don't actually hate the spring semester. It's a great time, but it's also the most stressful and sad. This year, as a junior, I think I mentally prepared myself for this time around but as I sit here and type this I'm 99.9% certain that im coming down ith a cold. So lets be real. The spring semester always wins.

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.
