Have you ever just had one of those moments where you're scrolling through your music and all you seem to say is no, slowly growing more and more agitated?

Then, you decide to try and find something new to spice things up and BOOM! You find it, the song or artist, the diamond in the rough, and your life is renewed. Through this process, we go through the stages, I like to call, of Music Rejuvenation.

Stage 1: The Quest Begins

This is what we've kind of talked about already. You've decided enough is enough and you are bound and determined to find something new to listen to, no matter how long it takes. So, you may ask for suggestions from friends or family or look to see what's trending.

Stage 2: Garbage. This is all Garbage!

Disappointing song after disappointing song later, and you're beginning to get frustrated. You're ready to rip your hair off or resign yourself to your fate of listening to what you have if you don't find something to pique your interest soon.

You decide to try one more time before calling it quits and this is when it happens...

Stage 3: HALLELUJAH!

Finally, you find it! That song that lifts you up and really gets the blood pumping in your veins. Your hole of boredom has been filled and you seem to be walking on air. Nothing can bring you down.

Stage 4: Download It

Now you know you need it in your life and where it is easily accessible. So, you whip out your phone, mp3, iPod or other musical device and download it to your musical library where it will be cradled and loved.

Stage 5: REPEAT! REPEAT! REPEAT!

Time to turn up the speakers as loud as they can go and possibly lose some hearing, and you get your JAM on!

One time isn't enough, so the replay button is pressed and the chords fly through the air once more. Again and again and again and again...and again until you once again reach our last stage.

Stage 6: I Have Nothing To Listen To.

And now, since that golden nugget is nothing more than fools gold to you, you must begin to find something new to listen to...here we go again.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
