Now that we're out of midterms and into finals, studying has become as much a part of our routine as going to the dining hall because we don't have the energy to cook. To make things a little easier, here are the different faces of studying if they were pandas.

1. Getting started.

The hardest part is actually getting started. After procrastinating for as long as possible, the panic sets in and we realize we have to start before it's too late.

2. Waking up an hour early to study.

The first lie we tell ourselves. We don't have class until 11 - we can wake up at 9. No, you can't.

3. Having a mental breakdown.

You have to have at least three before midterms are over. If you don't, I admire you.

4. Snack time


When you're all broke and there's only four Taquito's left, it's every man for himself.

5. Do anything and everything except studying.

You don't really party, but your friends are going. And you should be doing your paper, but why don't you ever take time to relax? You can do the paper later.

6. Realize all of your deadlines are piling up and 'later this week' is now 'tomorrow'.

You waited too long and wonder why you're so bad at time management.

7. Study groups.

Does anything ever get done?

8. Try to roll away from our problems.

Trying to roll away from your problems is unavoidable. Sometimes it's the only thing you can do.

9. Leaving your class after the exam.


It was a struggle, but you survived.

10. Getting your grades back.

Getting your grades back can sometimes be as stressful as studying for the exams. Whatever your grades, know that you don't have to be great at everything, and that it's okay to struggle.

Everyone does.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
