Give yourself a laugh during midterms for your own sanity.

1. Sunday scaries

You know the feeling. It's Sunday night before the exam week begins, and of course there is no chance in getting a full hour of sleep. There's people being way too loud in the hallway, and you stayed up way too late trying to force yourself to crack open a textbook. But that's okay! Monday will probably be a little rough in the morning, but maybe it won't be so bad.

2. Monday 

You were wrong. Monday, like every other Monday, did not run smoothly and the lack of sleep is hitting you hard. How is the rest of this week going to go? It's a scary thought, and it's time to at least try to pull it together if you want to survive this week.

3. Tuesday

The scramble to get it together might not be working out the way you planned by Tuesday. Hope may be temporarily lost. But a cup of coffee and a dream can get you through a couple more days if you really try.

4. Wednesday

Wednesday means that the end of midterms is so close, yet so, so, far away. If you have any more exams to take, it feels like there are only a couple thousand more blue books to fill out. The walls are closing in, but it's fine, everything's fine.

5. Thursday

There is a special place in Heaven for professors who make the exam a take-home paper. But of course, in the rush of studying, these papers get put off and ranked lower and lower on the priority list, until it is the very last minute. Like the 11:59 pm submission for the paper due at midnight. But Ron Swanson has a couple tricks to meet the word limit on that paper before the deadline!

6. Friday

It's finally the end! Friday is always a reason to celebrate, but if you still have exams left to take by Friday...it might bring on Chris Traeger's perfect storm of emotions.

7. Saturday

Take heed of the wise words of Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle and TREAT YO' SELF on Saturday. It's been too many long days and late nights of testing, so treat yo' self on midterm break and relax.

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.

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!
