We're a little past the half-way point this quarter and it's been a tough one. It seems like these weeks have been dragging by but, luckily, the quarter is nearly done! We can see the end!

But, of course, it's easier to make it through the next few weeks with a little bit of inspiration. And there's no better source of inspiration for how to get through the next few weeks of the quarter than "The Office." Here are some ways to get through the rest of the quarter as told by "The Office"!

1. Acknowledge and accept that this quarter has been the worst.

The first step toward healing is acceptance. Even though we had high hopes for this quarter in the beginning, we have to accept that it is just the absolute worst. Whether it's due to hard classes, bad professors, or the dreary weather, this quarter has taken a nose dive.

2. Spend some of your free time in study groups.

Even though you've accepted that this quarter is horrible, you still need to put in some effort to make sure your grades and GPA don't tank. Best way to do that? Spend a little extra time studying and in study groups.

3. Lighten things up with some humor.

This quarter is just so hard. *ba dum tss* But seriously, there's nothing like a good laugh to make you feel better. Take a break and turn on a funny movie or watch a comedy special on Netflix. Whatever will make you smile and laugh.

4. De-stress with some cute animals.

Nothing is more relaxing and happy-making than petting and playing with some fluffy, cute animals. If you don't have one of your own, maybe ask a friend who has a pet to let you come over for a while or visit your local animal shelter and give the animals there some love!

5. Treat yourself with some of your favorite food.

Order some pizza, get some takeout, buy some ice cream... whatever comfort food you like the best, get it. Treat yourself. You deserve it!

6. Start daydreaming about Spring Break.

Warm, sunny days, no school-related stress, time to sleep in, and the freedom to just relax and do what you want. Oh my gosh, please, I need this. Dreams of spring break will get me through winter quarter!

7. Let off some stress by dancing.

Whether it's at the club with friends or alone in your room, put on some upbeat music and shake off the stress with some dance moves!

8. Fake it 'til you make it.

Even if you're stressed out and feeling like this quarter is getting the better of you, act like you're rocking it. Attitude is everything and if you're acting like you're doing awesome, chances are things will start getting better. Keep a smile on your face and stay positive!

9. Celebrate the little victories.

Made it out of bed? Celebrate! Turned in that challenging assignment? Woo, celebrate! Another week closer to the end of the quarter? Party! Don't be afraid to celebrate the small victories! You deserve it.

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
