To The Struggling College Student, Summer Is Almost Here
Rachel Neal

Dear struggling college student,

I know it feels like the end of the spring semester is so close yet so far away.

Trust me, we're all going through the blues.

The weather is nice, so all you wanna do is go outside and soak in the sun, but exams and studying and essays are all calling your name and preventing you from leaving your dorm.

I'm here to tell you that you can do it.

I know it's hard, but it'll be all worth it.

It'll be worth it once you pass all your classes.

It'll be worth it when you get to move back home to spend a few months with your family that you missed so much.

It'll be worth it when you can go to endless summer concerts and have the best time of your life.

It'll be worth it when you get to go on that vacation that you've planned for what feels like forever.

It'll be worth it when you can take long road trips with your friends with the windows down, blasting music, laughing until you're crying, and making those unforgettable memories with them again.

But most importantly, it'll all be worth it when you're finally stress-free and happy.

It sucks right now, but it won't suck in a few weeks once you take that final exam, walk out of your last lecture hall, and don't have to stay up all night finishing a 5-8 page essay.

So keep going, keep working hard, and make yourself proud by getting the grades you want and the grades you deserve.

Summer is almost here.

Happiness is almost here.

You can do it. I know you can.

Sincerely,

A fellow struggling college student

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.
