The Last Part Of The Semester, As Told By Ben Platt

He's just so pure.

The Last Part Of The Semester, As Told By Ben Platt

Ben Platt is a precious gem that nobody deserves.

If you don't know Platt, he is most recently known for playing Evan Hansen in the new hit musical "Dear Evan Hansen."

He's quirky, he's funny and he's insanely talented.

So, who better to describe the final month of the spring semester?

That initial moment when you realize it's April! LDOC is just a few short weeks away! The class that's killing you will soon be over!


...And then the deadlines start coming in. Projects are loaded on. You're drowning in papers. And don't forget those late midterms that professors love to give.

When you start lying to yourself and say that you're going to get everything done the next weekend.

But then, that amazing moment when you actually make it to the library and knock out that five-page paper!

That moment when you sadly look at your grades to try and motivate yourself...

...and you seriously consider dropping out for, like, the 100th time this semester.

When your friends pick you up and remind you that there are only a few days left!

And finally, when it is LDOC at last, and you're looking back at all the deadlines you met. You picked up your grades, you're happy again, and it's t-shirt weather.


Good luck Tar Heels, you're on the home stretch!

And remember, listening to "Dear Evan Hansen" will always put you in a good mood (go check it out if you haven't yet).

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
