6 Reasons Why College Students Are Unmotivated The Rest Of The Semester

Since we just spent the last few days at home enjoying time with our loved ones and don't really want to be back at school, I thought I would share the reasons why students are unmotivated at this point in the semester. Here are six things that are holding us back from smiling during the last month of school:

1. Daylight Savings

I don't know about you guys, but daylight savings is still getting to me. I hate that when its 5:00 p.m. it feels like its 9:00 p.m. I never really feel like doing anything because I'm exhausted.

2. Winter

Snow is the absolute worst. Everything is wet, damp, slippery and cold. Why would you want to put yourself through that.

3. Homework

When you have 5 projects, 15 papers, and 20 other homework assignments due by Tuesday, and all you really want to do is watch Netflix and sleep for 5 hours... Because professors just really want to see how much they can give you until you break.

4. People

It's at that point in the semester where people just exist and annoy the crap out of you because you haven't slept in three days and don't have time to deal with anyone, and lets be honest, you don't even have time to deal with yourself.

5. We start freaking out about life

We registered for classes and are wondering if what we chose to do with our lives is really what we want to do.

6. Finals

We all know that finals are coming and we are seriously dreading it, so we make Netflix a top priority.

Yes, it's that time of the year and I hope that everyone can find some motivation to carry on, but if you can't, don't worry, you can always watch "10 Things I Hate About You" on Netflix.

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.
