Midterms can be overwhelming, so here is a list of things to motivate you through this stressful time:

1. You are so close to being able to see your DOG!

The day fall break starts snapchat and Instagram stories are filled with dog (and other pet) photos, and it is incredible! When you feel like you can't get threw your last few classes just remember how close you are to seeing your beloved pet!

2. You are halfway done with that class you hate.

Everyone has that one course that they dread going to. Whether it's boring, dry, overwhelming, impossible, or however else you would describe it as just remember: you are one midterm away from have a break from it!

3. A home cooked meal is calling your name.

It's not a secret that college food is not known for being good. After midterms week you will finally be able to go home and have a home cooked meal and won't make you feel sick (hopefully)!

4. You are one test away from being able to sleep in your own bed

If accessorized appropriately (mattress tops are a live saver) a college bed isn't the most uncomfortable thing, but nothing beats being able to sleep in your own bed. You are almost there, you got this!

5. You finally will have time to binge watch that T.V. series or movies you've been dying to see

Free time isn't a thing in college. If you have the opportunity to watch T.V. or just be lazy every then congratulations but for the majority of us we have a never ending list of movie and show recommendations we want to watch but never have time for.. until now! Fall break is the perfect break to get cozy and caught up on movies and shows!

6. Do it for the GPA 

We are all in college to get an education and ultimately a job, don't put too much pressure on yourself but make sure to remind yourself that your academics are important. Although it's terrible right now, in a couple weeks or next semester you probably will look back on whatever class you are struggling through and be proud of what you accomplished.

7. You will be able to catch up on sleep you've probably been behind on since school started 

From cramming for tests, finishing up last second homework, and just catching up with friends you haven't seen in forever: you probably haven't been sleeping as much as you should. Don't worry, after midterms you can finally catch up on that sleep!

8. After midterms you will be able to see your family and your friends from home

We all get a little homesick sometimes. Fall break gives everyone the opportunity to spend time with their family and friends from home and recoup for the second half of the semester. Enjoy and cherish the time you have with loved ones!

9. You will be able to go to the local restaurants you love 

Whether you are from New York or New Jersey and are dying to get some "good" pizza or bagels, or you just really want to go back to that one restaurant or cafe you grew up loving, after midterms you can finally do that!

10. You can switch out your summer clothes for fall!

Everyone loves fall! Fall break is the confirmation that our favorite time of the year is finally here! Time for sweaters, flannels, boots, and more fall wardrobe necessities!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
