Moments

It's the little things that you'll remember.

Moments

It’s the moment you're at the beach watching the waves crash on shore

It’s the moment you drive to get taco Bell with your best friend at 12am

It’s the moment when you are sitting in class, and realize that this is what you want to do with your life. The teacher is lecturing on on, and all you can think is “yeah I got this.”

It’s the moment you are leaving a friends house and that say, “text me when you get home, so I know you're safe” and you realize that she is your person.

It’s the moment you fail your first class and realize that you need to try harder.

It’s the moment you're having dinner with your mom, and you realize that she has given up so much for you, and that she will continue to put her life on hold so that yours can move forward.

It’s the moment at the end of a good movie, when you're sad for a split second because it's over.

It’s the moment you start a good book, and suddenly you find yourself 10 chapters in and can’t put it down.

It’s the moment you're getting ready with your best friend for prom.

It’s the moment you walk across the stage, and all of the sudden you graduated High School.

It’s the moment you get you college acceptance letter in the mail.

It’s the moment you stop to look at the lovely flowers they are selling at the farmers market.

It’s the moment you see your dog for the first time in a while and their excitement and love for you is so overwhelming you never want to leave again.

It’s the moment when you and your best friend make up after a long and awful fight, and you're sitting at Perkins until 2am talking.

It’s the moment you look up at the stars because you can't sleep and you see the beauty of this world we live in.

It’s the moment you you're moving out, and look back as you're driving away.

It’s the moment before you move back in to your college apartment and you're grabbing breakfast with your grandparents, talking about life and learning more about them.

It’s the moment you call your aunt and uncle and sit on the phone for hours and hours.

It’s the moment you wake up before your alarm and get to see the sun rise.

It’s the moment you're sitting at the coffee shop down the street and meet him.

It’s the moment after the storm and its calm.

It’s the moment before you fall asleep and everything is peaceful.

It’s all about these little moments.

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
