To The Seniors Who Didn't Get To Finish Their Year, I Know You're Hurting
Cecilia Flick

Dear Seniors,

I know you are hurting. We don't get the ending we deserve, and from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry.

This is for all of my high school seniors.

I feel your pain.

The first two years of high school were the hardest for me. I was severely depressed, and I hated everyone.

Then, during my junior year something in me changed. I started cheering, and I saw my high school differently.

I began to hate that I took everything for granted in years past. This is difficult for me to even wrap my head around as I'm here in my bed, crying, writing this.

I'm sorry for all of you.

We will never get to walk into school with a coffee in our hands late for the first period or go to another Friday night football game.

Some of you will never play your last baseball game or whatever sport you play. Some of us will never get a high school sweetheart. We won't have our last prom or graduation.

We won't get that "High School Musical 3" ending that we all deserve.

I can't even begin to describe how I feel right now. I'm hurt, angry and just incredibly heartbroken.

I will never forget the hot air in the gym during cheer practices, how my favorite teacher would roast me while simultaneously giving me great advice and the one time that I actually ate lunch in the school cafeteria I got hit in the head with an orange and a rat scurried across the ground.

They say that high school is the best four years of your life. I don't believe that for a second, but I do believe that these four years have been a rollercoaster and that they have changed our lives.

I will never forget high school and all the memories (good and bad).

We didn't get the ending we had hoped for, but we'll stay positive because something greater is coming.

Goodbye, high school.

You will be missed.

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

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
