Do you find yourself dreaming of warmer weather? Checking the calendar for the countdown till spring break? Do you often catch yourself scrolling through pictures of tropical landscapes? If so, you may suffer from...

SPRING FEVER

Luckily, I can help you fix that.

1. Plan a short trip somewhere warm for late February or early March. This does NOT have to be for spring break. Just take an impromptu trip to visit a friend who goes to school in Florida, or that distant cousin in California. Find the cheapest and easiest way to escape for the weekend.

2. Find your inner fitness junkie and join a swim class or yoga class. A swim class will remind you of bikini season and warmer months ahead, a yoga class will soothe your mind and put you at ease. When you are feeling tension and anger at the world's climate, physical activity can really help.

3. Plan a week long spring break trip. Instead of staying home, save up money for a fantastic but relaxing spring break trip. Consider ditching the typical 'party' spring break plans, for a weekend at a spa in southern California. Trust me, it will be way more fun and about the same price.

4. Start planning your summer closet. This spring and summer is going to be a colorful and patterned season in the fashion world. Plan ahead and start stocking up -- don't even look at the rack of clearance sweaters.

5. Apply for a job that is outside this summer. So working isn't super fun, but if you have to work, you may as well work outside in the sun and warmth. This will give you a chance to soak up the beautiful weather before the school year again.

6. CLEAR OUT YOUR LIFE. Yes, spring clean. Call your mom/dad/grandma/grandpa and ask for their advice on how to de-clutter your room and life. No, you do not need that spring break shirt you won at a bar in Miami from Freshman year.

7. Go outside. Yes, the weather still sucks. On the small chance it doesn't one day, use that opportunity to take a 5 minute walk.

8. Try something new. From a new class or subject to reading a new book, this can leave you feeling accomplished and satisfied.

9. Branch out socially. You have like 200 people total in all your classes, try branching out and talking to someone new. No, your best friend doesn't count.

10. Focus in school. This will at least help you in your future and when you have to be an adult down the line. LOL.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
