Country music has a way of speaking to the heart. Whether it's driving around with the windows down in the summer or sitting in a beach chair by the ocean, country music has a way of saying what you can't. I'm a fan of most genres, but country has always been my favorite. There's no better cure to a break-up than a good country song. Come on, who doesn't love Luke Bryan shaking it for us on stage or Kenny Chesney's ballads speaking from the heart. Whether you love it or hate it, country has some of the best post break-up songs in the game.

1. Carrie Underwood: "Before He Cheats"

"I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats."

2. Faith Hill and Tim McGraw: "Like We Never Loved at All"

"How can you just walk on by Without one tear in your eye?"

3. Luke Bryan: "Home Alone Tonight"

"So put your drink down, throw your camera up
Flip it around and snap a payback picture
I'll send it to my ex
And send them both a text saying
We ain't going home alone tonight"

4. Jason Aldean: "The Truth"

"Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy
That I'm still strung out over you"

5. Kenny Chesney: "Come Over"

"I told you I wouldn’t call, I told you I wouldn’t care
But baby climbing the walls gets me nowhere"

6. Miranda Lambert: "More Like Her"

"You love her and she loves you with all she has
I guess I should've been more like that"

7. Garth Brooks: "Friends in Low Places"

"And I toasted you Said, honey, we may be through But you'll never hear me complain"

8. Blake Shelton: "Neon Light"

"I take a shot of I don't care what you're doing now
Chase that one with a cold screw you"

9. Chris Young: "Think of You"

"We used to be the life of the party
We used to be the ones that they wished they were"

10. Keith Urban: "You'll Think of Me"

"Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me"

11. Sara Evans: "Stronger"

"I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay"

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.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during 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.
