If you're like me and have bitten off a bit more than you can chew this semester, then this article is for you.

At the beginning of every semester, I always get really motivated and sign up for all the classes and clubs and make all of these plans with people, thinking that I'll be able to handle it. Usually, I'm okay for about six weeks, and then everything starts picking up and piling on and I feel like I'm drowning.

Also, I feel like all of my professors have secret meetings in which they discuss how they can all plan all of their things for the same time just to mess with me.

Hopefully I'm not the only one?

You're okay for a while, but then things just keep piling up and piling up, but you just keep putting it off.

Soon, things start to get out of hand, but you're not panicking - yet.

Or, if you're me...

Somehow, somehow you survive the semester.


That's when the fun starts. After that semester, you deserve it.


We can do it, guys. We're halfway there!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
