It becomes bittersweet when the spring semester comes around. You are happy that the school year is almost over, yet stressed with all the things that spring semester brings. Here are some of the things I find most stressful. Some might not think that a few of them are that stressful, but everyone stresses over different things.

1. Running out of meal plan money.

The end of the semester is nearing, but so is the end of my meal plan. The struggle is real when you can only spend $2 a day on food and you still have three weeks left.

2. Living in a dorm without an air conditioner.

This year of living in a dorm without AC has been hell.

3. It being so nice out but you are stuck sitting in class.

4. Making plans on the weekend.

This may not seem like a big deal to some people, but for others, they spend a lot of time on what they are going to do for the weekend. Guys try to scrape up the money to get their 30 rack of Natty for the weekend, and girls have to plan a "hot" outfit.

5. Scheduling.

Scheduling is always a fun time of the year. Trying to get in the classes you need and the times that work best for you, making sure you do not schedule one to early.

6. Studying for finals.

Good luck! Just good luck with everything during finals week, good luck with getting a spot in the library, good luck getting a proper amount of sleep, good luck with your social life.

7. Preparing to leave your friends.

The end of the year is supposed to bring happiness. Classes are ending, and summer is almost here. However, it also brings sadness, you have to say goodbye to all of the friends you will not get to see until next semester.

8. Running out of school supplies.

It was around week 10 that I found myself running out of school supplies. I found myself taking notes on the back of random pieces of paper I would find in my book bag.

9. Not having any money.

Not having any money; most college students can relate. Especially those of us who don't have a job. Having to call home to mom and dad asking for beer money can be quite an awkward phone call.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
