The Struggles Of Finishing Out The Semester
The Odyssey Online

Ahhh the semester is slowing coming to an end, and the anxiety attacks are beginning to become a regular occurrence. It feels as if almost everyone is in a frenzy and an extreme panic mode. Everyone keeps telling you to "finish out strong," but all you want to do is give up and go to bed. Here are just some, but not all, of the struggles that occur in the last few weeks of the semester.

When everyone is outside day drinking in the 75-degree weather, but you seem to have 6 essays, 2 group projects, and 13 finals...

Feeling like no coffee is powerful enough to wake you up and keep you going throughout the day...

Telling yourself that you're going to go to the gym every day, but end up crawling into bed and finishing a series of Netflix...

Being so broke that you resort to eating at the dining halls every day, even though all you want to do is order China City...

Running out of Dragon Dollars and not knowing what to do with your life anymore...How will I get iced coffee ?!?!?!

Wanting to go out every night because you only have so many days left, but feeling like you should be inside studying instead...

Checking your bank account and wondering what went wrong...

Having extreme FOMO watching everyone play on the front lawn...

Realizing that your friends get to go home a week earlier than you, and you have a final on the very last day...

Seeing pictures of your family drinking and BBQ-ing outside and not being able to remember what real food tastes like...

80-degree weather is for the beach, not for classrooms.

Mentally checking out of class and skipping an entire lesson...

Trying to teach yourself everything you supposedly learned this semester...

And lastly... the agony of counting down a number of days until going home. It's so close... but so far away!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
