Soccer: Oh, Valentine

The world loves soccer more than you love Valentine's Day.

Soccer: Oh, Valentine

If you don't, or even if you do, have a loved one on this arbitrary day of advertising, I recommend fretting not, for there is something yet to love: the Champions League of soccer! Today, matches with the likes of Barcelona-PSG and Benfica-Dortmund shall be all the chocolate hearts you need.

If you are with bae, you and your loved one can watch said matches together because of your mutual interests in the spectacle followed by carnal relations. If this is the case, you're in the perfect relationship. These relationships make it easy to circumvent the stock responses of tears because he forgot, and blue balls because she's angry, which seem all too real on this day of most meaningless days of obligatory love.

You're single you say? No stress. Take part in watching one of the most prestigious tournaments of the most beloved sport in the world. If you have no one on this day of overpriced roses, adoration is to be had by watching the beautiful game and acknowledging that you are participating in world wide emotion, in a word, love, that would rival even the most well-written Valentine's Day card... even if the card was attached to the ass of a teddy bear, since, ya know, teddy bears are the eternal symbol of everlasting courtship.

Now, since I feel overjoyed with love from sharing this Valentine's Day moment with the world of soccer worshipers, I reckon it's time I remove myself from this article for a match of futbol, arguably the most loving thing a person can do for himself and the world.

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!

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.

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.
