"Wait, is today Tuesday?"

7 Students You'll Definitely Run Into On Campus When It's Midterm Szn

It is that time of the year... Pencils are no longer new and notebooks have that weird feeling on each page from all the times they have been flipped through and most of us don't even know what day of the week it is. Even though we are all struggling college students, we all have our own unique strategies and personalities to conquer this season of the semester. Here are the six types of people you will meet during midterm season.

1. The Go Getter

The one who has every due date, every exam, every quiz all outlined and they are freaking ready to conquer them all. A rare breed, but definitely alive around campus. They can usually be found in the library during normal daylight hours and found sleeping peacefully at night because they have it together.

2. The "wait is today Tuesday?"

The one that is just always confused. This semester was too much, the schedule was a major L and they just need to make it to Christmas. They can usually be found attempting to do work at the library when they are really missing their lecture because they think today is Monday. We know them and we love them.

3. The one you don't really see anymore

The one that has kind of gone MIA, they say they are in the library all night. Are they? Are they okay? No one really knows. You saw them all of sylly week but now maybe you will see them once a week. They can be found.. Well.. no one really knows but probably the library.

4. The one who still doesn't know their schedule

The one who still texts and asks what room lecture is in or what time you should meet to walk to class. Even though you have been doing the same thing for the past seven weeks, they are surprised each time. They can usually be found walking to the wrong class or missing a lab.

5. The one who can't stop talking about how much they love fall 

The one who has said "spooky season" ten times within the past hour and is so excited to wear their oversized flannel to the pumpkin patch. They physically can't focus on any assignment until they have the perfect Halloween costume picked out. They can usually be found at the nearest pumpkin patch avoiding their work.

6. And the one who can't stop talking about the holidays

The one who has already skipped over Halloween and Thanksgiving and they are halfway done with their Christmas list. They also can't focus on anything unless it has something to do with the holidays. They can usually be found daydreaming in the library about Christmas or crafting a very thorough Christmas list.

7. The one who is already checked out and too busy planning next semester

The one who already has next semester's schedule memorized. They have checked out entirely of this semester and are ready to start over. They can usually be found in the classes they are going to be enrolled in this spring and preparing for the next sylly week.

The silver lining about midterm season is the end of midterm season and the light at the end of the tunnel for this semester. Once we are through the exams, it's time to brush off the stress with a weekend spent doing all fun things with all fun people. We are halfway done with the semester and the end is in sight.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
