The 7 Stages You Go Through EVERY College Semester

Miami just started, so I'm still in phase one, but my boyfriend has been in school for three weeks so he's in phase two or three. Wherever you are, enjoy the process!

Excited to see all your friends again after a long break.

You're back, moved in and ready to party! Enjoy syllabus week while it lasts. You know it's about to kick into overdrive.

End of the first week. You have a little homework, but you're still motivated.

You're ready to crank out your homework, and you're getting all your work done ahead of time. You know it'll be rough if you wait till the last minute to do it all.

The first week of exams hits, and you suddenly realize how hard the semester will be.

Suddenly, sh*t just got real and you realize you have a LOT of studying to do and a LOT of catching up to do if you want to do well on exams.

There's 27 group projects, a paper, 12 meetings, and you work 4 shifts this week.

What's sleep? Haven't met her! You're overwhelmed, exhausted and ready for a break.

Either spring break or fall break hits and you are READY.

You've been killing yourself all semester to keep your GPA up, and there's FINALLY a break! Go celebrate and enjoy!

You come back to campus for the end of the semester and wrapping up classes.

You come in ready to knock out the end of the semester and keep that GPA high!

Finals week. No description necessary.

You do NOTHING besides study and eat. That's it. If you're like me, you lock yourself in a study room somewhere and study for hours every day for the entire week. Definitely not an enjoyable time, but it can make or break your grades.

And of course, after the semester is over, you get a nice break to look forward to before you have to go do it all over again!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
