Student + Dying = Studying

Test week...

Books

So to get this started. It is test week and homegirl stresses out A LOT. I had three test and two quizzes due this week. My test were Monday at 4:45, Tuesday at 12:30, and Thursday at 11. My quizzes were due Wednesday by 8 and Friday by 5. And this was not even the worst part of my week.

Sunday and all day Monday I was studying for my business cal test. I was extremely stressed out because this class is not very hard (to me at least), so i was worried I'd get to the test and make stupid mistakes because I knew the material so well. Turns out I was stress about nothing and make a 95 on the test. I was still kind of upset because the one I missed was me just being stupid and reading the graph wrong.

My next test was Tuesday at 12:30. This class was microeconomics and I was very unprepared for this test. I had studied all Monday night and Tuesday morning. I walk into my class, which is a huge auditorium, and sit in the same general area like every Tuesday and Thursday. Turns out I accidentally sit in a guys seat but he moves and of course, I felt like a terrible person because i just stole this kids seat. Anyways, we get probably ten minutes into the test and my friend Darby grabs my arm. So I looked at her, and the dude that I stole his seat is having a seizure. I stood up really fast and then the teacher left the room to go call the police.

Well, this poor boy continued to seize for maybe a minute and a half. There were other students in the class that knew CPR and what to do with him. Some guy stuck his fingers in the boy's mouth and he almost bit his fingers off. Then the boy bit his tongue and started bleeding. It was probably the scariest thing I have ever witnessed. Long story short, the guy is okay and my test got pushed back. The rest of the week was pretty much a blur because I was still in shock from the guy having a seizure.

This shows that studying can really people out and cause a lot of anxiety. It would be so much better if the professors did not schedule all these tests the same week. But try your best not to get stressed and start worrying because it is not worth it. Get sleep and make sure you eat!!

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
