The spring semester always seems to fly by faster than we can even unpack from winter break. The spring semester seems to be filled to the brim of assignments, exams, papers, projects, meetings and more. We know we have all these tasks to complete because it will benefit our future but most of us have lost all motivation. Just think, two more months and then summer.

Spring semester's weather is also very confusing especially this year. We all thought spring came early then winter took back over. Winter came back to surprise us all.

The laziness is unreal. Even with all the things coming up and assignments due, all we actually want to do is sleep though. Then we fall behind and try and take a nap thinking it will solve all of our problems. Spoiler Alert: It does not.

So since you took a nap and procrastinated, the stress levels have risen. Right now it seems like there is not enough time in the day to get everything you need to get done and have a well balanced social life, but somehow it will get completed.

The Spring Break comes along, and the perfect getaway is made. The worries seem to be left behind on campus while you either go home or the perfect vacation. Being 21 or older means that you will, probably, spend most of the break with some type of drink in your hand.

When we all return from break, the stress continues and the assignments continue to pile up like there was never a break anyway. For some classes, students may of even had an assignment over break. Which means it wasn't really a break at all.

But in the end, remember that you are capable anything you put your mind to. Study for those exams, finish those assignments, have some personal time, go to coffee with a friend. Find the time management skills that work for you. Then before you know it, you'll be driving away with your car fully packed ready for summer.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
