It’s finally happening. In the midst of ordering graduation dresses and announcements, making dinner reservations, and everything else, the realization that I’m graduating in a few short months is at the forefront of my mind.

Honestly, it’s really hard to believe because it feels like I just started college, and now it’s over in the blink of an eye. Reflecting on the last three and half years, it’s been amazing! College is such a ride: ups, downs and everything in between! Everyone gets to this point eventually, and while it’s bittersweet, it’s also really exciting! It can be a little daunting if you’re not sure what you’re doing yet, but at the end of the day you’re graduating from college with a degree and that’s a big deal!!

So, with that in mind, no matter how nervous or anxious you are about the days counting down, just enjoy the time you have left, and be excited for what’s to come after!! The world is your oyster (*graduating from college, and still don’t know what that expression means but I use it at least once a week. Oh well.) The point is, you have your entire life to figure out what to do with it, just spend your time doing things you enjoy, and celebrate when you do BIG THINGS ... like graduating from college!!!

So…… CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WHO’S MADE IT THIS FAR. WE DID IT!! Here’s to making the most of our remaining days of college, and continuing with a lust for life for the rest of it!

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.
