10 Stages of a Mid-Semester Crisis
DU Beat

Well everyone, we have reached that point in the semester again. Everything was all fine and we were coasting through. But now that midterms are over, it hits us: we are halfway through the semester. Panic sets in and we start considering if college is really for us. So if you’re in any or all of these stages now, you are in what we call the mid-semester crisis.


1. Realizing your grades are 'average'


2. Calculating how many classes you have to go to for the rest of the semester to get at least a B

3. With that comes also calculating grades you have to get for the rest of the assignments


4. Crying over all the assignments that are due

Everyone needs a little 'wine' and 'whine'

5. Saying that you won't procrastinate anymore


6. But laughing because you know that is total BS


Me:I am going to stay in tonight

*10 mins later*

Friend: C'mon let's go to happy hour!

Me: Ok!

7. "I'm feeling overwhelmed" becomes and understatement

The last place I want to die is school....

8. Asking yourself: "Is it too late to drop out?"


Sorry mom, I'm doing this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

9.Counting down the days until next break


10. But when all's said and done, you have a feeling of accomplishment that you are ~almost~ done

Now if only I can feel as happy as Rob Lowe.....


Alright everyone, well now that you have experienced the mid-semester crisis, it's time to get back on our bullshit! There are 5 more weeks until the end of the semester, so let's finish strong! Don't settle for "C's get degrees" go chase those A's like it's nobody's business!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
