The Holidays Are Here And I'm Still Stuck Thinking About School
Meghan Wiedelman

I am sitting here in my bed watching Grey's Anatomy and I can't think about the holidays that are just around the corner. Moment of truth, I want to be a veterinarian and grades are literally everything. Sometimes it is really hard for me to focus on anything but the letters that decide if I passed or failed. To get anywhere in life for me I have to keep everything the highest it can be.

I would be lying if I said that it was not stressful. It is actually stressful as hell... But I try to not show anybody that. This is, after all, what I want: I want to help family pets get better someday and the road to get there is by far the most difficult road I will ever travel. I would also be lying if I said that I didn't have days where I question if I have what it takes, where I wonder if I can make it or if it is too much. Yet somehow at the end of the day, I make it another day. It's a miracle to me but not a miracle to the people who believe in me.

The holidays are here, and I am thinking about finals or even how next semester is going to go -- I think I'll live in the present and sit on my bed and watch Grey's Anatomy...Ciao, my friends!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
