13 Pieces Of Real Advice From Real Moms To Help You Survive Midterms

You know those moments when you're stressed to the max and you just need to talk to your mom to make it better? Yeah. We all have them. But, if you've already called her like 6 times in the last 2 days, here are 13 pieces of advice from real moms to help you get through!

1. "Eat some chocolate. Drink some coffee. Study hard."

2. "Jesus is in that hard class with you." 

You're going to be OK.

3. "The worst case scenario is that you don't do as well as you want to. And everything is still OK." 

It's like a hug, but with words.

6. "Remember every other time you said you were going to fail and then you didn't?" 

4. "A bad grade isn't going to keep you from fulfilling your purpose." 

Sometimes all you need is some perspective.

5. "You can't study if you're sleepy." 

7. "You can treat yourself when it's over." 

8. "Stop panicking. You are not going to fail." 

Calm down. You'll be fine.

9. "You can always just marry rich." 

If plan A (getting a degree and a job) fails, you can always just fall back to plan B.

10. "Check your phone. I sent you pictures of our cat/dog." 

Do I need to say more?

11. "Do you have people to study with?" 

Study groups are always a good idea. Sometimes I just need my mom to remind me of that.

12. "Have you gone to office hours?" 

Office hours are a very good thing. Brownie points!

13. "I love you." 

Because sometimes that's all you need.

So if you're having a rough midterms season, just remember all of the lovely things your mom tells you and you'll be OK.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
