School is in full swing, classes are underway, and the homework is already piled on. It doesn't matter if it's the first week or finals week, I can't help but feel that I'm already over this semester. Here are signs that you are too:

1. You eat your feelings. You know, when you actually have food.

2. You count down the says for the weekend, and party when it's here!

3. Going to class starts to take up all your energy and motivation

4. When all your friends are talking about their futures and you're not even sure what you're going to watch on Netflix.

5. How you react when everyone tells you that you're overreacting to all the stress.

6. You have to drag yourself to the library to attempt to do homework.

7. But once in a while, we get good news that can change the mood of our whole week. It may just not be news that is life changing for everyone.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year.

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
