Wow. Already time for spring break. This spring semester sure is flying by fast, now isn't it? There are many things that all of us college students are feeling right now. It's kind of like a doughnut. The bread/cake part is all of the negative, with our tears creating the icing, and some positive thoughts sprinkled on top with humor to get us all through. Here are just some of the thoughts that all of us are experiencing right now:

1. Wait, how many essays/assignments do I have? Are any optional?

2. It's all good. Due tomorrow still means do tomorrow, even if there's a lot to do.

3. Crap... What's the policy on turning things in late again?

4. How is it ALREADY mid-term season??

5. How much of my final grade is depending on exams???

6. WHERE IS MY SYLLABUS? IT HAS ALL OF THIS INFORMATION. MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE ACTUALLY READ IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER.

7. Okay, calm down. You will be fine, you currently have a great grade.

8. Oh look, all of the grades from this semester are entered online.

9. Oh shit.

10. I didn't think attendance was mandatory...

11. Wow, I guess I need to study and do all of my stuff ahead of time, huh?

12. Well, looks like I won't be sleeping for the next week or so.

13. I am ready for this exam! I studied, and I am really going to try my best!

14. Well, I wasn't ready.

15. Thank God it's spring break.

16. What do you mean I have ten assignments to do over spring break? Why are professors this way? What sick joke is college?

17. I am going to do them over the final weekend, and take break to relax. Why? I DESERVE THIS.

18. After break, I am going to try harder in all of my classes. No more skipping, no more.

19. There really is only two more months of school basically. I GOT THIS!!

Seriously, you got this. You have made it halfway through the semester, you got the second half like it's nothing. Hang in there, and don't stop trying (or start). Summer break is right around the corner, and nothing but sunshine and smiles is in store for you.

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.
