Surviving the End of the Semester

Because it feels like the end of the world

Surviving the End of the Semester
Erika Victor
  1. Don’t compare yourself to other people. Any full time college student is an absolute wreck at this time, so don’t believe anyone who “has it under control”. Have no fear, you are not alone in having those sweat stains from your recent panic attack seep through that shirt you probably slept in.
  2. Take a shower. Okay so by this age we should all know the importance of personal hygiene, but it becomes increasingly easy to “shower after the assignment” and then forget. I promise it only takes five measly minutes to shower and the person you sit beside will thank you.
  3. Eat something! Sure, it seems like a brilliant idea to run off six cups of coffee and maybe 2 hours of sleep but doing this without food is dangerous. Not only will you look like you need to be dewormed by a vet,but you will be at risk for passing out and having anxiety attacks.
  4. Turn off your phone. Put down the extension of your soul while working on your assignments, this is crunch time people! Your friends will understand that passing a class is more important than whatever gif they sent you.
  5. Drink water. While it’s easier to drown all your problems in alchohol, that’s not going to get you anywhere in life. So stay hydrated.
  6. Waterproof mascara. Lets be real, the reason make-up companies invented waterproof make-up were for times like these. If you pay attention closely you can easily spot up to 6 different people having existential break downs at any point in the beloved corners of your library. So have no fear and be prepared for your own, and look awesome while you wipe away the tears and snot.
  7. Oversized Sweatshirts. Be mysterious between coffee runs and class times. Oversized hoodies are perfect for hiding your pjs underneath or the fact you forgot to put on a bra. (again)
  8. Relax, its almost over.

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.
