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.
