To the High School Senior who has no plan for after High School, you're perfectly fine I promise. Honestly, unless you have had one dream since you were 5 years old you don't know what you want to do until you get to college. You just got back from break and all of your friends seem to have all of their life plans figured out but you don't know what you'll be doing tomorrow, that is just fine. Your senior year is the best year because you're almost done with High School, however, it's also an important year for many reasons. The first being academics of course as well have enjoying time with friends that you won't see much when you're in college. Enjoy those football and basketball games as well as prom and live out your graduation, worry about all the college facts later. Take time to relax and enjoy the life that you're living, you have time to figure out the rest of your life later.

When you get to college get all of your GenEd classes out of the way those are the ones you won't be interested in later down the road. After that if you're sill not sure what you want to major in take classes that sound fun to you step outside of the box. There are so many classes and different opportunities given to you on campus everyday you'll find a place to fit in when you get there. Until then just live out the rest of your time in High School and enjoy it. Don't believe people when they say you have to know before you start college. I am a College student right now and my senior year of High School I had my college, roommate and major picked out. A week before graduation I changed my college and decided to live at home and just commute. I have always known I wanted to major in Mass Communication and Journalism with my goal being an ESPN reporter, however, I'm a Junior and I just decided I no longer want to be a news reporter I want to be behind the camera. My goal is still to work my way up to ESPN but just not the way I planned since I was a freshman in High School. The point is, even if everyone around you has figured it out their paths may change and yours may just be getting started. It's okay to get lost in areas that may not be your major or be more interested in something you never thought you'd like. You don't have to have life figured out just yet.

You're still on the right track even if you have no plan yet. As of right now your plan is to get that High School Diploma and be the best you that you can be. You grow and learn new things everyday and some of the best things in life come to us when we're least expecting them. So have dreams, set your goals and strive to be the best you that you can be. Remember that if you mess up or something goes wrong along the way it is okay, nothing is set in stone. Enjoy your last few months of your senior year and don't get stressed over what is to come. You will have enough time to plan out your life in the years to come. A life plan is like a movie, it doesn't come over night it takes months of drafting, do overs and talking to the right people to get it on the big screen. Trust in God and know that his plan for your life will be worth it in the long run. Don't panic or give up just put all of your trust in the man up stairs.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
