Fellow college students,

To those of you also feeling the end-of-semester blues, I have also hit that point: those last two weeks in the semester where I can barely bring myself to care about my assignments — or anything for that matter. While my mind is yelling “YOU HAVE THINGS TO DO! ” my heart is saying, “Just one more episode…”

While I pretty much rely entirely on coffee to stay awake through the day and all I want to do is eat Whataburger and sleep, I know that I will get through this.

Yes, my English professor still hasn’t put up the prompt for the final paper that’s due in a week. Yes, I have a presentation I haven’t put together yet. Yes, I still have to write two more papers, read four journals, and complete my final art project. But, somehow, I know that everything will be OK.

This happens every semester. We hit a wall and can barely motivate ourselves to get out of bed. But we will rise. We will toss back a few coffee thermoses and throw ourselves to our computers (not to watch Netflix, but to write our papers, thank-you-very-much). We will take a study break to get some Whataburger — but we will come back to finish studying for those exams.

Unmotivated college student, I believe in you. Keep fighting for your GPA. Keep fighting to graduate. We will make it through this, just like we always have. And remember: summer is right around the corner.

If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.

After turning 16, our parents start to push us to get a job and take on some responsibility. We start to make our own money in order to fund the fun we intend on having throughout the year. But what happens when you've officially become so obsessed with making money that you can't even remember the last day you had off? You, my friend, have become a workaholic. Being a workaholic can be both good and bad. It shows dedication to your job and the desire to save money. It also shows that you don't have a great work-life balance.

Spending five, 10 or even more weeks in the outdoors leading elementary to high school aged kids for a week at a time is unique, to say the least.
