As the semester progresses, students quickly lose their minds. Even if we say we're okay, we're all sleep-deprived and ridden with physical and mental affliction. Don't worry. You're not alone. I am here to empathize with you via poetry. Here are 10 haikus that embody the mid-semester struggle.

1. Sunday nights

Papers due Monday

I have five midterms this week

Sunday night panic

2. Internships

Deadlines approaching

This intern ship is sailing

I will be jobless

3. Everything's fine

Did nothing today

Somehow, I'm still so tired

Is this depression

4. Schedules

My schedule is full

My sleep schedule is ruined

I will never rest

5. Burning up

I'm overheating

Stick a skewer through my heart

Three-fifty, grill me

6. Everything is OKAY

Dead Fuck My Life GIF - Find & Share on GIPHYGiphy

Freaking out for days

Almost forgot I'm human

I should call my mom

7. Seven dirty words

Tits shit piss fuck cunt

Cocksucker motherfucker

It's time to give up

8. The elements are not on our side

Water, earth, fire, air

Don't have time to wash my hair

I smell like garbage

9. Commuters don't live at home

Residents dorm, but

Commuters live on campus

A couch is a bed

10. The odds are not in our favor

Remember to eat

And remember to survive

It's the Hunger Games

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

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!)
