College is all fun and games until April rolls around. I am still convinced professors congregate in a conference room and gather around a circle table to plan all of their assignments to co-exist in the same week. April is the month where students who work ahead of time start feeling the pressure and the procrastinators truly push their limits. April is the final month(disregarding finals week in May) standing between college students and summer vacation; making it that much more antagonistic. During April, we as college students all have a number of thoughts in common, starting with ...

One month left in this semester!

Only four weeks left of having to wake up at 8 a.m. to go learn physiology! Only four weeks left until I get to forget about homework for the summer!

Oh god ... There's one month left in the semester!

I still have four papers, three presentations, and two tests to finish before finals week ...


If I prioritize and start now I can finish everything on time and not be too stressed out ...

Time to log on to my computer. Ooh Netflix just added that TV show I wanted to watch. Just one episode ...

*One entire series and countless hours later* What have I done? Not my assignments, that's for sure ...


It's okay I'll start tomorrow.

I'm only a day behind, no big deal.

There's a lot of fun stuff happening on campus this week...

You only go to college once and I am supposed to enjoy myself right? I can go out once or twice if I want to. College isn't just about academics, it's about enjoying my youth... Fine it's decided I'll go. I'll still have three weeks left to do work. I've done it before. I can do it again.

*Last Week of Classes* Wow where did the time go ...

I have two papers due at midnight and a presentation to give at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning. Then I have another essay due on Wednesday and my last paper due Thursday. I see a couple of all nighters in my near future.

It's Thursday, 11 p.m. and I have officially finished all of my work for this semester.

Ah I can't believe I did it!! I'm done with it ALL!

Wait ... Now I have to study for my finals ...

Screw it, I need sleep. Oh bed, how I have missed you. The library chairs got nothing on you!

*After hours of studying and test-taking finals are over and April is coming to a close*

It's done. I am so proud of myself, this semester is FINALLY over.

-

No more tests, no more projects, no more homework, no more stress.

Summer here I come!

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

ORHS Graduation

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
