The weather is getting warmer, summer is closer, its almost impossible to remain motivated. But finish out the semester strong with these tips.

Take things one week at a time.

Let's be real, counting the days left until the semester ends will only make it drag on. Take things one week at a time, it's a great way to stay focused on the present, and get your assignments done on time without stressing about exams you don't have to even worry about yet.

Use a planner or make to-do lists.

Planners and to-do lists are an awesome way to stay organized. Not only will using these methods help you stay organized, but nothing beats the feeling of being able to cross an assignment you completed off your to-do list. It'll make you feel productive and give you a sense of accomplishment.

Make plans for the weekends.

We all know it's harder to get something done when you're lacking motivation, but a great way to get that motivation back is plan small things for you to look forward to. Whether it's going home to see your family or a coffee date with your friends, it'll help you to have the incentive to get your work done during the week so you get to do these fun things on the weekends!

Stay busy.

Lastly, it's no secret that our day always seems to fly by if we were busy and productive throughout it. Try not to spend as much time sitting around doing nothing. Study, work ahead in your classes, join a club, or do anything else that'll keep you busy. Before you know it, it'll be summer in no time.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
