It's not that big of a deal.

I don't know about you, but I feel like I haven't even started this semester yet. It's going by so fast I keep forgetting what I've learned in my classes, and that's not good considering I've got midterms, and eventually finals. But I have nothing to worry about because I remember these x reasons why midterms aren't as stressful as we all make it out to be.

1. Your grade can still recover.

I mean, I failed my Computer Science midterm and still managed to drag my grade from the depths of hell to a C+. Try not to fail your midterm, but don't be worried if you do end up getting a bad grade. There is plenty of time to bring it up.

2. Your life goes on.

It is just a small part of your life. It's so minuscule to what you plan to do, it shouldn't even be a concern of yours. If you know the information, you know it. If not, work on it. It isn't the most important thing on your plate.

3. Still take it seriously.

Don't let a midterm stress you but don't let it mess you up either. If you have the time to study and the resources to do it there is no reason why you shouldn't pass.

4. Your professor is there for a reason, and so are the tutors. Utilize them.

You pay upwards of $18,000 for a food, housing, an education, and all the tutors and professor's time. If you aren't going to them you aren't using your money right.

5. This isn't the end.

At this point, we all know the midterm isn't as bad as the final. And between both of them are many more tests and quizzes. This is just a friendly reminder to stay on top of things, study hard, and don't let sleep deprivation rule you.

Good luck with your midterms!

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?

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.

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!)
