Finishing Second Semester, Told Through GIFs

Spring break is over and your chance to tan and catch up on sleep is gone -- at least for a few more weeks. You might be feeling a little bit ready for the year to be over, or maybe even a lot. You have one or two more mid-terms left and you are starting to check your grades. As you calculate your mid-terms into your average you might be discovering you don't have as many As as you thought you did. Hopefully, the rest of the semester will be a blow off and you will be able to add a few points onto those averages.

After mid- terms are over you go to bed without doing your readings. I mean, he wouldn't give you a quiz right after the test, right? Wrong. Pop quiz on the first day back to class. It's okay because the rest of the semester you are going to work harder than ever.


You are walking to the library to start working on your GPA and suddenly you realize that sweatshirt you have been wearing the last few months is a little hot. Spring has finally sprung and good weather is here to stay. You can take off that sweater for good, or at least until November.

Better weather means spending more time outdoors, being active and getting in shape for summer clothes and swim season. So you pledge to yourself that you are going to start going working out every day to get in shape.

But after one workout you are feeling a little sore and decide to settle with sticking to the oversized t-shirt fad the rest of the year.

Before you even have time to unpack from spring break, it's time for finals again and the "simple" reviews that your professors have given you are going to take at least a week to get through.

You have been planning to spend all Friday night at the library, but your friends offer to go out is just so much more appealing and you don't want them to feel like you are ditching them, so you ditch the library.

When finals come, you are ready but a little regretful that you didn't spend more time studying, but college is all about the memories, not the GPA! Right?

Finally, the semester is over and it's time for summer. You might be a little sad to see the year go and to have to leave your school and out of state friends but, hey, there is always next semester.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
