It is finally here. The last full month of school before the much-needed summer break that all of us students need. Before we can have this glorious sunny weather and no school work we have to basically go through hell to get there.

Studying for finals, working on projects last minute, extra credit work in hopes to pull up your grade at least a little bit, and more studying. There is also crying and screaming that comes along with those things but, that's normal by now.

Here are a few tips on how to survive this horrible month before sweet summer.

1. Just do your work.

If I haven't learned anything else from being in college but this that is ok with me. Always do your work. It is really just going to hurt you in the long run and then you're going to be cussing yourself out wishing you would have just done what you were supposed to do.

2. Cry

It really helps. After having a short (or long) mental breakdown because you are so stressed and overwhelmed by all of the work you have to do in such a short time you will feel much better (or worse). But hey, at least you know you're not the only one crying!

3. If you get the chance to do extra credit, DO IT!!

Extra credit will be your best friend always if you ever get the chance to have it. So, if your professor even mentions the word extra credit, be EXTRA, and start on it right away and go ahead and turn it in. (Your professor will honestly probably be very surprised at how fast you turned it in seeing how all of your other assignments were turned in late.)

4. Take some time to yourself

When it comes to stressful times and having to do a lot of work you always want to make sure that you do give yourself some time to have fun or just relax. Never get too over your head. Your mental and physical health is so much more important than hurting yourself over school work. So, just push away from your laptop and go outside to get some fresh air or go hang out with friends. Just know that after having a break you need to get back on top of your studies and then get a good nights rest. (Or just drink your stress and pain away!) Kidding... kind of.

5. Keep thinking about summer

If you keep thinking about the long break from school you are about to have, time will go by a lot faster. Hopefully. This whole school year has flown by so far so, I think we can get through a month of agony to be able to enjoy our break without a worry in the world. Or, if you're like me you will probably be taking summer classes and be working so you don't have to look forward to. YAY!

Anyways, the point is to not get so stressed and overwhelmed by college. It will all be over before you know it. Just like high school. Then, we will all be wishing we could go back to college when we are thirty with kids and twenty-five pounds heavier.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
