10 Signs You Are Officially Soooo Over This Semester
Pinterest

The end of semester is so close yet so far within our grasp, that it feels like college students don't know whether to celebrate or continue having mental breakdowns. Finals are coming up, last minute papers are due, and you are as broke and hungry as ever, that you are counting down the days until you can go home and hibernate for all of winter break.

So let's take a look at the top ten signs that prove every college student across the country seems to be over the fall semester. **Que the panic attacks and frequent sobbing**

1. When Showering Becomes Less Frequent And You Are Practically Out Of Soap/Shampoo/Conditioner

Who has time to shower anymore, let alone have all of the sanitary supplies needed to smell great after the shower. Between your schedule of questioning your future, cramming an entire semesters worth of catching up, and crying persistently on the phone to your parents about your life...who has time for hygiene and showers?

2. You Try To Figure Out Your Class Grade In Case Of Failing The Final/ Not Bothering To Hand In The Final Paper/Assignment


At this point in the semester you are just completely burnt out and have no more energy to finish all of your assignments that you left until the last minute. So bust out that calculator and let's hope that the odds are in your favor...

3. Your Bank Account Is So Sad That It Makes You Want To Cry


Congratulations! Your bank account is officially non-existent! I don't know about you, but let's not add up all the money you threw away on alcohol, going out, and late night hunger cravings...the results are frightening!

4. Naps Become Essential


At the beginning of the semester you were so motivated and full of energy! Now, your naps are becoming longer and more frequent. Let's be honest, if you didn't set 20 alarms, would you even wake up after your 6 hour nap?

5. Procrastination Is Not Your Friend


Even as your "To-Do" list grows longer, you just keep making excuses to do the work at a later time. Usually, you'll start the assignment the night before or a few hours before you have to submit it.

6. Your Outfits Are Starting To Look Ridiculous


Who has time to do laundry with all of the naps you are taking and all of the mental breakdowns your are having? At this point in the semester your outfits usually consist of sweats, items of clothing that you're not sure if it is clean or dirty, and absolutely no sense of style!

7. "Assigned Reading" Is The Funniest Attempt At A Joke You've Ever Heard


At the beginning of the semester you were so on top of all of your assignments--including assigned reading! Now at the end of the semester your strategy for passing and staying sane is: if I don't have to hand it in or it doesn't receive a grade, then why bother?!

8. You And Your Friends Unanimously Plan On Skipping Class


At this point in the semester you fall into one of two categories. 1. You've either run out of absences for every single one of your classes or 2. You and your friends strategically plan when to skip the remainder of your classes together.

9. You're So Sick Of Every Food Option On Campus


When you've been eating the same options for meals for months on end now...you can go a little crazy until you get a home-cooked meal fix! You're sick of the take-out options, the dining facilities, and how every time you go into the cafeteria it feels like you're going to starve because nothing looks appetizing.

10. You Start Rewarding Yourself For Accomplishing The Most Basic Tasks


Whether it's cleaning your room, or doing something that you are required to do, you always feel the need to reward yourself for all of the hard work you just put in...for about 20 minutes, and let me tell you it was exhausting!

So to those of you that are officially over this semester, don't forget there's only a few more weeks until it's over...and then you can start stressing over next semester! However, in the meantime feel free to reward yourself for reading this article!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
