5 Ways You Know...

Anyone in college knows that feeling of the end of the semester. The cramming, the crying, and the countdown to not being able to procrastinate any more. Here is 5 reasons that you know it's the end of the semester- hopefully it will give you a laugh in your time of stress, I know I could use one.

1. The Pep Talks... to yourself.

Everyone has done it, whether it's in their head or to themselves in the mirror- the "you can do it" speech to yourself. It's never really worked for me personally, but maybe that's because I can't take myself seriously.

2. The Sudden Internal Panic

This is when the stress starts to build- when you realize all of the shit you have to do in such a little amount of time, and then you hate yourself because you know you've had more than two weeks to do it... you just didn't.


3. The Constant Flow of Brain Farts

This is the worst... when you're sitting in class the week before exams and you realize about every 5 minutes that you have no idea what the professor said the 5 minutes before that and it just keeps happening and you walk out not having a clue what even happened.

4. Realizing Sleep Isn't a Thing...

I think this meme sums it up perfectly.

5. When the dreaded day comes...

Everyone anticipates it, everyone studies or doesn't study, but the day comes regardless.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
