The warm weather is kind of here, the birds are somewhat chirping, and the libraries are starting to get packed. This means that the end of the semester is quickly approaching resulting in a lot of panic from students everywhere. To relieve some stress, I'm going to take you through a common semester with quotes from "The Office."

1. The first day of the semester when you walk into class and realize this will be your life for the next 4 months


2. When your professor skips the syllabus and goes straight into lecture material

3. When the first exam of the semester comes around and you realize that scrolling through Facebook and Twitter was of no use to you whatsoever

4. When you decide to start writing a 5-page paper on a book you never read two hours before it is due

5. When you're halfway through the semester eating ramen noodles for the 18th night in a row

8. But then you realize that eating ramen for 18 days straight isn't the worst thing in the world because in the end...

7. When the second exam of the semester comes around and you didn't learn from previous experience that Twitter and Facebook do not count as paying attention in class


8. When finals season approaches and you are nowhere near prepared for the absolute chaos that is bound to ensue


9. When you make it through exams and group projects and have to wish your senior friends the best of luck on their future endeavors

Only three and a half more weeks guys, we can do it!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
