Syllabus week is long gone and we have reached a point in the semester where the pressure is at an all time high and giving up is becoming more of a temptation. While it may seem as if you're never going to get the right answers on that final problem set or that you won't be able to get a passing grade on that history exam, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. When life gives you lemons you must learn to make lemonade. Below I listed 10 different Beyoncé lyrics that will help you survive the rest of the semester and motivate you to finish it out strong:

1. When you get a bad grade on a test after spending hours and hours of studying:

2. When you're trying to swallow the food in the dining hall:

3. When you're trying to persevere through an all-nighter:

4. When your alarm clock goes off in the morning and you're trying to work up the motivation to get up:

5. When you find yourself in the Starbucks line again:

6. When your friends are trying to have a conversation with you while you're in the library intending to doing work:

7. When you're stressed with school, work, and being an (unpaid) intern:

8. When finals week gets you down:

9. When you get a C on a graded assignment but then you remember that C's get degrees:

10. When you feel like dropping out and need something that'll remind you why you're seeking a college degree:

Just channel your inner Sasha Fierce and slay the rest of the semester!
