Drowning? Me Too.

It's that time of year, I feel like I'm drowning.

Drowning? Me Too.
7SpeedReading

OK, we've passed the midpoint of the semester and to be honest I feel like I'm drowning. We are somehow expected to bounce back from midterms and just keep going, keep doing work. Its a little over whelming.

Working in retail, things are really started to pick up with the holidays right around the corner. My work schedule has gone from zero to 60 in a few days.

My car is in the shop because everything is wrong with it, and it's going to take a lot of money to get it back on the road.

On top of that, my dog, Lady, won't stop pooping in my apartment when I leave her for too long. I think she's doing it to spite me.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE:

We are almost done with the semester! We got through midterms and we are alive.

More work means more money. Yay for paychecks!

A car is a car and I'll have my precious Bennie back on the road in no time.

At lease my dog cares when I'm not there, she loves me.

My point is that you may feel like your drowning at this point in the semester, but its OK, we are all there with you. Try to find the little rays of sunshine in your snowy/rainy/overcast day. Those small things that can bring you at least a little bit of joy. Laugh in the face of the fire that is consuming that thing called your life, and keep going.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
