Yerd? It's a yearbook nerd.

11 Reasons You’re Glad You Took Yearbook In High School

Your yearbook is something you expected every year to end up in your lap or in your mailbox, but sometimes little thought goes to those who actually help create it. However, those who did work hard on the book can all relate to these 11 things.

1. Interviewing all the cute jocks and social butterflies

"So how much time do you spend working on the off-season, babe? I mean Gabe!"

2. Gawking at pictures of all the cute jocks and social butterflies.

Oops, look what accidentally just became my screen saver.

3. You loved that no surprise unflattering pictures of you would show up.

But Becky kissed my boyfriend and karma supports my decision to print this (kidding, that never happened... but you had that power).

4. Press passes that allowed you into all clubs and to the sidelines of all sporting events.

"This is so cool! Oh jeez, please please please don't hit me with a ball -- this camera costs more than your purebred dog."

5. The staff went from strangers to best friends to family.

I'm doing everything I can not to cry saying goodbye to my staff at the end of the year.

6. You know a lot of the school gossip before much of the rest of the school

Basically the cheer coach is quitting, but you didn't hear it from me. Unless people are happy about it then you definitely heard it from me.

7. It’s one of the only classes where you could talk to your friends while listening to music on your phone, sipping a vanilla latte.

"So then I accidentally called Gabe babe! Oh, can you hold my drink for a sec? I need to switch this song."

8. You felt like you had so much power knowing the theme for the yearbook a year before everyone else does.

No seriously, this is top secret information.

9. Your note-taking skills drastically improved from your speedwriting during an interview.

How much does a tape recorder cost? Add it to my Christmas list.

10. You learned a whole new language and you didn’t even realize it.

"Yerd." "Colophon." "Mugshot." "Rule of thirds."

11. There’s nothing like the pure joy you feel when the book is published.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
