Life As A Second Semester College Senior

A balance of partying and cover letters.

Second semester can either be really fun, or really stressful. A time for endless parties, but also endless tears, caused by having to apply to jobs, and to start doing adult things all on your own.

1. You find yourself wanting to do everything, but know that deep down you're still too lazy to really care.

On the one hand you're like:

But on the other:

#Balance.

2. Graduation was once a wonderful beacon of hope you used to dream about. Now, it's essentially been marked as Doomsday.

Just the thought of it makes you want to cover your ears, duck for cover, and curl up in a ball.

3. You laugh at all the freshmen who try really hard at everything.

Look at all those freshmen running around doing everything and looking nice. Ahh, so young. So naive.

4. Trying to write a good cover letter and resume is more stressful than writing an academic paper.

5. Senioritis has hit an all time high.

6.You know at least 8 people that are engaged.

Which makes you think how you don't have your life together.

7. Hearing about how everyone else is getting job interviews and offers is making you more stressed out/ angry/ emotional.

"Oh you just interviewed with J.P. Morgan? That's so great!" *sheds one lonely tear*

8. You're really tired of being asked what your plans are after graduation.

"Well Karen, like I said back at Christmas, I have no idea, so quit asking me."

9.You may enjoy the perks of being a senior, but you're really jealous of freshmen because they've still got time to live.

10. You' start to buy more business casual outfits.

Unfortunately, it comes with a high price.

11. Hookups < Dating.

You'd much rather find a special someone than just fool around and hate yourself for it later.

12. You used to joke about having no money, but now having no money is a real crisis.

13. You're scared but excited at the same time.

You're at least a little excited to see what the future holds for you.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
