I'm at the second to last season of my show: The Good Wife on Amazon Prime.

Everyone knows how that feels.

You finally found a show to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and countless others and there's actually five to six seasons or better yet you found one with seven! How lucky are you? You've become enraptured in this show, their emotions are your emotions. Your favorite character died? No, not them! Anyone but them. Why would the producers do this to you? Don't they know that you have so much invested in their wellbeing? Obviously they're doing this to punish you, they don't really care about your feelings. You're not important to them, they're selfish becuase what else could they be if they killed off your favorite character?

You're on season six now, episode thirteen of twenty-two and you slow your roll. You don't want to get to season seven too fast because then what are you going to do with your life? You'll end up in a funk. The one you get after you finish watching a show and now you don't know what to do with the extra time you have. You could do some homework? But nah, you have plenty of time for that. You could find a hobby one that you have to do outside and not sitting on your couch in front of your tv? Ew, only weirdos like doing things outside, I'm more of a couch potato. Instead you just sit around and picture your life, how it would be if you hadn't watched that last episode. You'd still have meaning to your life, a purpose. You wouldn't be floating, wandering aimlessly looking for the next great show to binge watch with at least five seasons.

You flip through the options on Netflix, then Amazon Prime, Hulu, Showtime and HBO. Still nothing catches your attention. You sigh and just as you're about to turn off the tv and pick up a book something catches your eye.

Is that? No, it couldn't be.

Yes, it's a show that looks interesting and it has six seasons.

Suits, please don't disappoint me.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
