End of Semester: Time to Pack Up


One of the worst times for a college student is finals week. Not only is the semester almost over, but you have to pack up all of your belongings and go home. Believe me when I say it. Everything is not going home with you. You will see yourself leaving some things behind.
One of the best ways to pick what stuff to take home with you, is to look at the stuff you use the most and throw out all of the junk that will mean nothing to you later on, such as old notes, clothes that you will never wear or random furniture that has seen better days.
This is the worst time of the year. You cram for a week, living at the library and drinking tons of energy boosters, then you say goodbye to everyone and go home for four months. Life is about to change for you. You will go back to the regular "home" lifestyle.
But remember, it is only four months and for me the time flies by. So again you will pack yourself back up and be back for another year of the college life.

and oh yeah....Good Luck on Finals.

When college gets to you..Sit back and enjoy yourself.

Every once in a while, there will be a time that you feel there are way too many people around you and you feel as if you need some "you" time. Ever since you got away to college, you have to grow accustom to having someone breathing off your body for weeks on end. If you aren't in the best mood or something negative happened with you, I will bet you a lot of people will know.
This can really make someone really uncomfortable. The best way to get away from all of this is to just sit back and relax. GO to a place where no one really goes to and just relax. Don't think about anything. Don't really look at anything. Just be about yourself and let time stand still. Bring your ipod and get into some comfortable clothes.

Becoming a Social Butterfly

I know this a little random, but I think a great way to have a good time while away at college, is to go out and have fun. Oh yes yes it is. You want to have friends, you want people to want to hang out with you and you want to have the time of your life. Think of college as the greatest time of your life. There will be no other time where you will live like this so you better make the best of it.
I remember when I first came to college, and I really didn't know anyone. So what I did was become very friendly to everyone I met. I put on a front that I was nice and caring. More people will open up to you if you come off very friendly. Your first impression will not only give people an opinion about you, but could become a great memory down the line.
Once you find some people who you think are fun and want to go out with them, go out with them. This is going to be the second place where you will meet new people. Once you go out and have that liquid confidence, you still should be nice. Don't go so sloppy, that people will remember you as "that guy", but have fun. Don't hold yourself back just because you are trying to use your magic and flirt with some people of the opposite sex. Be confident. Even if you just want to be sociable, go out and do it. Remember, best times of your life. This is a huge factor on why it will be.
