The time has come where every college student is going through midterm week. The stress is beyond words can describe and all you feel like doing is curling up in a ball and crying until the week is officially over. I guarantee you that almost every college student thinks these things during the week of midterms...

1. "Spring break can't come fast enough.."

After midterm, you usually have spring break that following week and it seems like an eternity until it finally gets here. We tend to think of all the fun we are going to have over break and being able to come home.

2. "Instead of counting the months till the end of school, I count the weeks.."

To make things feel a little better, instead of telling yourself you have a little over two months left of school, you say that there are just 8 weeks left of the semester. It doesn't seem as bad as two months... am I right?!

3. "Where are the energy drinks?"

Since midterms is all about the exams and studying, you need something to keep you awake through those late hour of studying. Maybe it's an energy drink or one of those Starbucks drinks with a heck of a lot of caffeine in them. YOU MUST STAY AWAKE.

4. "I'm going to study....right after I watch one more episode of my show.."

The procrastination is real and Netflix does not help the situation either. Binge watching is a serious problem especially when you should be studying... but you really have to finish that episode of the office because that's top priority.

5. "I have no clue what is going on in any of my classes.."

It's funny because you have a midterm in that class but you have no idea what you are even learning. It's literal gibberish and you try it figure it out on your own, but then you get frustrated and give up. At this point, you just hope for the best and say a prayer.

6. "Does my class offer extra credit?"

You basically have it set in stone that you are going to possibly fail this midterm so you email the teacher asking if they give out any extra credit to save your grade. Most of the time... they don't give out extra credit so you're S.O.L.

7. "I'm going to just drop out.."

You are at the point in the semester where you just decide you want to drop out because the stress is taking over your body.

8. " WOW, I am emotionally unstable..."

You probably have a lot of mental breakdowns because the semester is giving you serious anxiety. You don't know what it's like to be normal anymore...(little dramatic, but it's true) What was life before school started?

9. " Maybe a tutor can help me with my life..."

They probably can't figure out your life for you, but they can certainly help with any classes you are struggling with and that can be a relief.

10. " I am going to try to stay positive and hope for the best..:

That's all we can do at this point in time; hope that everything will turn out okay which I am sure it will. Keep calm, focus on school, focus on the end of the school year, and make it through.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
