The Spring Semester Slump As Told By 'Parks and Recreation'

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.

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.

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.
