To The Ungracefully Graceful Human

Sometimes gravity needs to be checked. Yep, still there.

Does this sound like you? You're all dressed up and ready for a fun and fancy evening. You're wearing a gorgeous dress and your hair and makeup look superb. As you strut your stuff down some steps, you snag your heel on the last step and go toppling to the ground. Sound familiar? Then this is basically written for you.

But, believe it or not, being an ungracefully graceful human can have some benefits.

1. You can get away with opting out of activities that require any kind of coordination—if you want to—and everyone will understand.

2. Your graceful days are a nice surprise. Whoa, haven't fallen once today?? Feelin' pretty snazzy.

3. You're not the absolute klutz, but you definitely don't have the balance of a ballerina either—you're basically the perfect hybrid of both.

4. Your friends are shocked when you're able to do something remotely well—oh yeah, be impressed, I just roller skated without holding onto the wall. Mmhmm.

5. It's part of your charm. Sure, you might feel like the ungraceful side of you is cumbersome and unpredictable, but hey, that's part of the adventure, right? When you juggle coffee and textbooks simultaneously—allow yourself to rejoice in the victory—but if you happen to spill the coffee, chances are you'll meet some nice people who are willing to help you clean it up.

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. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
