We all have been there. Either we get sick often or we get a head cold every 6 months, but we've all gotten sick away from home in college and we all know how terrible it is.

1. When you start coughing and slightly sneezing.

2. You immediately take a packet of Emergen-C.

3. But then you still feel like death when you wake up the next morning.

4. So you take some Advil and say that it's just from not sleeping.

5. Then halfway through your day you literally can't breathe.

6. You keep telling yourself to make it through the end of the day.

7. You finally feel the freedom of leaving your last class.

8. You sprint to the med clinic just to walk in and everyone and their mother are there.

9. Finally, the doctor sees you.

10. But then they tell you they need to draw blood just to really make sure it's a bacterial infection.

11. Then they come back in and confirm it's a sinus infection and send you on your way with some antibiotics.

12. Then you call your mom crying because being sick away from home is the worst.

13. And you lay in bed with a Panera chicken soup in a bread bowl.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
