20 Signs To Let You Know You're Over This Semester
Never giving up on giving up-Word Press

o else is done with this semester? Or life? Why is the second semester so hard? And if you're a freshman, or someone who remembers freshman year, you know the freshman slump is real. But, we are SO close. Almost a month left. But that month doesn't mean much because it's still a month! It's a month where your professors decide to throw all of the knowledge at you! It's a month where you realize summer is rapidly approaching and you won't see your friends for forever. It's a month where you'll try to study your brains out while trying to fit in everything you want to do before you leave for what will feel like forever. This month will drag out into what feels like eternity... And don't forget about finals and all of the lovely papers and projects that your professors think are totally appropriate to overload on you in this ONE month. So, if you find yourself agreeing with any of the following, then you too might be over this semester...

1. An eye roll is your first response to everything

2. You just want to lie on the floor and moan

3. Sleep is impossible to get but it's all you can think about

4. You don't understand why the professors are so hard on you

5. Remembering the status of your bank account

6. Caring about your appearance has become a laughable matter

7. Food choices on campus are boring

8. Your dorm room somewhat resembles the dump


9. There are exactly one million and one things you have to get done...

10. Finishing the semester has turned into calculating grades so you know the minimum to pass

11. Skipping class is so regular, you forget that you're actually in that class

12. Realizing that coffee and other caffeine substitutes have failed you

13. Giving up on good grades also means you have to learn to be ok with the bad ones

14. Even the tiniest of tasks feels like moving the world

15. Sometimes walking upstairs is impossible because gravity is out to get you

16. You've already planned out your summer, filling it with all of the things you'd rather be doing than sitting in class


17. Paying attention in class is entirely dependent on your mood... or the amount of sleep you got

18. You have turned procrastination into an art

19. You despise those who managed to get their life together


20. You debate quitting this whole college thing, but then you realize you're almost finished with the year so there's no point now

So, remember, you're almost done. Don't give up, even though it'd be easy. And when you feel like you're about to give in, remember to breathe and chant I just have to make it to tomorrow, until it's finally all over!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
