With midterms upon us the stress and pressure of college life is once again upon us and with the start of spring break only a short week away it makes attempting to study for midterms even more difficult. This week i set aside an evening to get some serious studing done, and this is how it went....

4:00PM- Set out notebooks, textbooks, study notes and blank flashcards

4:30PM- realize I won’t be able to properly study without some snacks

4:45PM- I drive to the mini-mart and purchase Mountain Dew and Cheese Puffs

5:00 PM- Return from store and consume study snacks

5:15PM- Realize my hands are covered in cheese dust and I need to wash my hands in the bathroom so I don’t get my notes all cheesy

5:30PM- While washing my hands realize how spotty the bathroom merrier is

5:45PM- Clean the bathroom mirror, then realize how dirty the rest of the bathroom now looks in comparison to the super clean mirror

6:00PM- 9:00PM After I cleaned the entire bathroom I decided I might as well clean the rest of my apartment since I have all of my cleaning supplies out.

9:15 PM I look at the clock and realize how late it is already. I need to start to study.

9:20PM- 1:00AM Decided to turn the TV on for some background noise while studying. Crack textbook open, end up only paying attention to Netflix for several hours

1:15AM- Finish an entire season of some stupid show. Realize once again how late it is and that I still haven’t started studying

1:30 AM spend several minutes freaking out at how little time I now have left to study

2:00AM Decide I’m too tired to have any meaningful studying done at this hour

2:30AM Lay in bed staring at celling wondering how I wasted so much time not studying

5:00AM – Startled awake by a bad dream about failing a midterm because I didn’t study

5:15 AM- Make and drink four cups of coffee

5:30AM- Decide to once again attempt studying

5:45AM- realize my cat is fast asleep on my closed textbook

6:00 AM- Take several picture cute pictures of cute cat sleeping on assignments and send them on snapchat

6:30AM Decide you’ll apologize to the cat and push her off your books

7:00 AM decide to drive to school to get some studying done

7:30 AM Stop at Dunkin Donuts and get an extra-large French-vanilla iced-coffee

8:00 AM- Get to school and decide to check e-mail before I start studying

8:15 AM Read an email from the professor reminding us that this midterm has been postponed until after spring break

8:16AM- Smile

8:30 AM drive back home to go back to bed

4:00 PM remember you have several other midterms that are still this week. I get out my no0tebooks and textbooks and index cards

The End

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
