Pre-End Of Semester Emotions Are At An All-Time High

Every college student comes to the point in the semester when their emotions are running all over the place and they just feel absolutely scatterbrained. That time for most student is a little bit before Thanksgiving break, which means that time is currently in effect. This is a stressful time for students because they are so many things due before we reach that week long vacation from going to class and doing homework. Everyone is basically running around campus like a chicken with its head cut off trying not to panic about all of the deadlines that are being pressured onto them all at once. If they're not showing their full panic mode, they are sitting in the library for 12+ hours a day trying to keep their cool under control. There are some people that feel as if they're the only ones going through this, but it happens to everyone at least once. For others it happens three times a semester just depending on what said person's major is. With finals being so close, no one will be able to keep their cool.

The time is so close to be done with classes this semester that procrastination is coming out to play in an extremely bad way. I myself and one of these people who are already just so done with this semester that they procrastinate until the very last second which makes the amount of stress skyrocket through the roof. We all know better than to wait until the last minute, but in all honesty, procrastination takes over your entire brain and makes you not care whether or not you finish your assignment or project. It's a trap! Do not fall for it!

Every student has the breakdown where they just want to drop out of school and work a minimum wage job for the rest of their lives, but we are all better than that. Finish getting that degree and go out into the world with the mindset of becoming the next CEO or the highest position in whatever your job may be after graduation. We have all made it this far, we can continue to keep going. All we need is a little motivational push and about 7 cups of coffee.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
