5 Ways To Survive The Last Few Weeks Of The Semester

We are nearing the end of fall semester as college students and I can speak for all of us when I say we deserve this upcoming break. Winter break is our little slice of heaven that gives us a chance to unwind after a stressful semester of tests, papers and dealing with professors that make zero sense. Sadly, it isn't over just yet. We still have a few more weeks left, and that means finals and projects. While we attempt to not pull our hair out here are five ways that we can survive these last few weeks of fall semester.

1. So you are behind on your projects, spend a day binge-doing them and then feel accomplished afterwards. After all, we are the kings and queens of procrastination.

2. Hibernate in your bed for a day and watch your favorite shows while drinking hot cocoa (possibly mixed with baileys). You deserve a little break.

3. Get a group together to get things done, then reward yourselves after with dinner and drinks. Friends are everything.

4. When the going gets tough these last few weeks, call up someone you like to talk to for a little advice and to chat with for a while. It is amazing what a good conversation can do to boost you up.

5. Finally, keep in the back of your mind that freakin' CHRISTMAS is soon and that everything is wonderful and magical.

So as we can see, the end of the semester is not so bad after all. Just step back and look at all you have accomplished so far this semester. We only have a few weeks left! You can do this! I believe in you! Our break is right around the corner and so is the sweet smell of Christmas morning. Take a moment to soak it all in and everything will be fine.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
