Well, it's that time of year again. This week comes along twice a year, once per semester; the dreaded mid-term week. This completely underrated week can cause equal amounts of stress, that you might feel during finals week, but no one prepares you for it. All of a sudden you're half way through the semester, and homework, quizzes and tests keep piling up for no good reason other than to make you miserable (and I guess to makes sure you're actually learning). And you're like me, you like to take study breaks, checking Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, BuzzFeed, Facebook and Instagram again because more people have posted since you last checked, and people keep replying to your Snapchats so you have to answer them.

This whole process can take up a whole day, which does wonders for your popularity but not so much for your grades. Well if you want to waste time, but read something that could be counted for productivity, here is a list of quotes that will hopefully make studying seem not so bad.

1. "If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward you're always in the same place." -Nora Roberts

3. "All things are possible with coffee and mascara."

8. "The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem. Do you understand?" -Captain Jack Sparrow
