10 Things You Know If You Are Almost Done With The School Year

1. The Work Load

For some unknown reason, every professor waits to do three chapters, give two tests not including the final, and four papers. But it's okay, it's not like we have any other classes...

2. The Lack of Ambition

Well, seems like that paper is not getting done, nor is that project due to the amount of available time, but I will make time for this nap I so desperately need.

3. Your Stress Level Seems To Surpass Your Limits

With all the meetings, classwork, and athletics, on a scale of one to ten, the stress level is a flat one hundred. The only thing keeping you from going insane is when you get to treat yourself to that twenty minute shower.

4. Every Night Is Basically An All-Nighter

You end up reading the same sentence three times, but still think it's a smart idea to keep doing the work that will have to be redone anyways.

5. Midnight Wawa Trips Are the Only Thing Keeping You Going


Always thankful for Natalie for taking me to get a bagel and slushy just so I can make it through the night. But, for real, without Wawa, most of us would crash and burn in college.

6. That Day Your Body Finally Crashes

You're going strong, and you're on about day four, maybe day five, who really knows? But then, you get this burst of energy for about twenty minutes, then all of a sudden, you can't keep your eyes open or lift a finger. Yeah, your body has reached its breaking point.

7. Finals Week Is So Bittersweet

Because thanks to your wonderful professors, you have a math final, history final and English final all in the same day. I see what you are trying to do, professors. You're trying to drive me crazy. Well, let me tell you... it's working.

8. You Can't Wait To Go Home

You get to go home, sleep in your bigger bed, see all your old friends you kept in contact with, see their families that you are basically a part of and you get to see your family. You get to go back to the place where you grew your roots and remember all the good things there are about it.

9. But You Don't Want to Leave

You have finally adjusted to your surroundings you now call home, made so many friends you are used to seeing every day, and you have all the memories in your first dorm room. This is your new life, your freedom, and better yet, your place. Nothing will ever compare to living on your own for the first time ever.

10. You Don't Know How To Survive Without Your Friends

I have no clue how I'm going to make it a couple of months without seeing all of my people every day. But that is what trips are for, I guess...

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
