Being a second semester senior is hard. Not only do you have to work hard in classes, but you also feel the pressure to get your life together, celebrate your college years, and find the time to leave your mark on your campus. It's hard work, and sometimes, all of the ~feels~ that go along with being a second semester senior, and it can be a bit much to handle at times. There are many different types of second semester seniors, and I can guarantee that there's multiple of each on your campus, and odds are, you can identify with one of them:


1. The Senior Who's Had a Job Since October

This second semester senior is kind of checked out, a little bit over college, and ready to move on to their "big kid" job. They're probably apartment shopping, searching for roommates, and probably counting down the days until they graduate. Even though they're set for the real world, they are still trying to enjoy their time with their friends. Their futures are pretty secure, and they are definitely OK with it.


2. The Senior Who Just Doesn't Care Anymore.

This senior is definitely checked out. They're so over everything that has to do with academia and wish more than anything that they didn't have to go to classes. Actually, odds are they don't attend class at all. They're out to enjoy the semester, but are more than ready to move on from campus.


3. The Sentimental Senior.

The Sentimental Senior cries at everything. Literally everything. Whether it's a memory, a last, or even a first, this senior can't seem to shut off the waterworks. Maybe they're ready to move on, maybe they aren't... who knows? But clearly, the sentimental senior has enjoyed their time at school and is sad to see the years coming to a close. Just don't mention the "G" word and everything will (maybe) be OK.


4. The Senior Who Kind-Of Has It Together

They have job interviews and prospects, but they aren't locked in to anything yet. This senior is still doing well and working hard in classes in hopes of getting into their first choice grad school, or even securing the job they want the most. They have a plan and an end-goal, and that's what matters to them.


5. The Senior at the Bar.

This senior is going out and enjoying their last semester. They are whooping it up and have no qualms about it. They are taking the time to enjoy themselves, have fun with their friends, and take advantage of the dirt cheap beer, because once college ends, so does 50 cent draft night... and that's just sad.


No matter which second semester senior you are, take advantage of the time you have left on your campus. Leave your legacy. Make your mark. Take no prisoners.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
