When you moved into college, you were so excited to decorate your dorm, go to incredible parties with all of your new bestie and, eating endless pizza. Now that your Marilyn Monroe poster has been posted on your concrete wall and you have been to every single themed party at Kappa Sig, you are just aching to go home see your dog and, eat your moms homemade lasagna. Here are five ways you know that you are in the mid semester slump.

1. You're Sick. Like All The Time.

All you want is to stay in bed all day and binge watch Gossip Girl. But you have an Anthropology midterm at 8 am so you MUST STUDY.

2. You Miss Your Dog


All you want to do is cuddle up with your 200 pound horse and cry a little.

3. Studying Has taken Over Your Life

I knew college was hard, but no one told you that you would have to be studying for three days straight before a term test.

4. You Have Nothing To Wear

You wardrobe in college consists of free T-Shirts, Nike shorts, Birkenstocks and maybe a pair of jeans.

5. You Are Counting Down The Days Until Thanksgiving

All you can eat turkey, free laundry and your own queen bed. Honestly what is better than that?

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
