If You're Stressing Out Right Now, You Probably Have The Midsemester Blues

I'm starting to wonder...is college REALLY worth it?

I'm writing this COMPLETELY last minute because this week has sucked.

For as much as I appreciated fall break, it's crazy how just one day off can throw the entire student population off. No one in my English class knew we had a paper on Thursday, finals are ALREADY being talked about, and even worse, I think I hallucinated a cockroach this morning. I'm still not sure. I bought $15 in roach motels just to be safe though.

I have woken up consistently at 3:30 every morning, and I'm praying for just ONE DAY when I can sleep in. Although last year I woke up at 5:30 every day, waking up at 7 seems to be just as bad.

However, I have less than a month until Thanksgiving break. A little after that is the last day of classes. And then (lol) all my finals are crammed into a Friday and Saturday.

Yes. Saturday.

It seems like this semester is kinda really close to ending (which is good, trust me), but I still don't feel like a real college student. At all.

I feel like I'm 12.

OK, I'm almost done complaining, but one last thing.

I have NO IDEA what ANY of my grades are! NONE!

So yeah, we'll see how that one goes.

P.S. - Hallmark Christmas Movies start VERY soon. Be excited.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
