So April's almost over and this semester has gone by super fast! However, the last few weeks always seem to drag even though we have projects, papers, presentations and finals to worry about. It seems as though professors try to jam as much as they can within the last couple weeks, and it makes us want to pull our hair out.

The weather is warmer, and the last thing we want to do is sit in class and listen to a lecture when we could be literally doing anything else. The sad truth is that around this time of year when we aren't in class we're working on some type of assignment. The end seems so close, but yet so far way. We are about at our breaking point when our mind is on everything else but what we're supposed to be working on. I find myself working on a paper and next thing I know I am online shopping.

What I really want to be doing is laying on a beach somewhere, hanging out with my friends and family by the pool, not writing out a billion notecards. We start to question our sanity because we feel like we never get through, and everything seems to be piling up. We make lists, lots of them. We also drink lots of coffee in hopes that it will give us that extra jump start that we know we need these days.

It's extremely hard to stay motivated when all you can think about is the freedom that the summer brings. With three finals in one day, and a presentation every week it's hard to stay positive, but it is doable! It takes a strong soul to get through this point in the semester but with some hard work and determination, and a little less Netflix, we will somehow get through.

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!
