You have a lot going on this semester and that's what college is all about, right? Taking on more than you can handle, no sleep, and a lot of stress? Just keep in mind to take some time out of your busy life for some "you time." Even if that means sitting on a bench staring at the clouds for 10 minutes a day, it's all about you. If you've been slacking at the gym lately because of all the homework you have to do, try bringing a book or some notes to the gym. Whatever you need to do to get everything in in one day.

You might be taking 4, 5, 6, maybe even 7 classes this spring. People might look at you like you're crazy for taking on so much. And you might be just a little crazy, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. Look at yourself every day and tell yourself "I can do this!" Because you can do it.

You have a planner and a desk calendar... USE THEM! Remember when you thought you could just remember everything and it would be fine? But then you started forgetting some homework assignments and then some meetings and by the end of the semester you were more stressed then you needed to be? You can fix that by being just a little more organized with your schedule.

You have a whole dining hall with plenty of food options. You can eat healthier. It won't hurt to have a salad for dinner 4 times a week instead of that pasta dish. Wouldn't it be awesome to go home for break and look like a new person?There are so many things you can do this semester to make it a great one. Take advantage of the resources around you to make sure that happens. You got this! I believe in you.

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.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
