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...

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
