Thank goodnesss. Finally, it’s time to go home and celebrate the holidays! But…first you have to conquer the end of semester and get all of your shit together so you can so have a smooth transition from college to home without leaving behind a huge mess. Here’s exactly how you can do that.
8 Things To Do Before Winter Break
I’M 20! (19 Things Before 20 Revisited)
Well, shit, I’m twenty. While that’s probably not the prettiest way to start a blog post, it was my first, honest thought. The suffix “-teen” is officially gone from my age and I can basically feel the gray hairs and wrinkles forming. I’m definitely kidding, I use moisturizer. Kidding, I’m still only twenty. I’m still the baby of my house at college, so I can hold onto my youth for a little bit longer.
I can now officially be labeled a “twenty something,” that is, if zero counts as a “something.” I can finally read those articles and feel like I actually belong there, which is pretty nice.
Even though I don’t want to be older, I’m also really wishing to turn twenty-one soon, because it seems a lot more fun than being twenty. Also, you can legally consume alcohol, which is pretty ~adult~ if I do say so myself.
Although I did “19 things before 20” last year, I have decided not to make a “20 Things Before 21” list for a few reasons:
1. Years fly by so quickly and there’s no way to know what I can or cannot accomplish in a year and by setting unreachable goals and seeing I’ve failed them I feel kind of shitty about it because usually the ones I did not achieve are the fun ones.
2. I don’t even know what I want to do. I’ll open a snack, eat a few bites and then change my mind and take something else. I’ll order french toast and only once it’s in front of me I’ll remember I don’t like french toast. I’ll change my outfit five times before leaving the house on some days. I don’t know what to aim to achieve, I really don’t.
3. I’m revisiting “19 Before 20.” I’d rather see how that has panned out than make another list. Plus, it was hard enough to name 19 things, I don’t think I could name 20 now.
So, here were my 19 things before 20 if you’d like to see them thoroughly, but here’s a little update on them all…
How to End The Semester Strong
As the end of the semester approaches, you may very likely find yourself crawling, slithering or crying to the end of the semester. You might find yourself half-assing (or even quarter-assing or none-assing) assignments and study sessions. You may find that your eating and sleeping habits are getting even worse than they already were. But there’s no need to fear because you can absolutely end the semester strong.
Just because you see the light at the end of the tunnel, whether it be summer or winter break, it doesn’t mean you should slow your pace and give up! In fact, it means you should take it to the next level and sprint through that tunnel with your head held high, grades strong and mental stability as intact as possible. Without any further ado (because, like, it’s almost the end of the semester and you don’t have time to read this), here are some ways to end the semester strong.

College can be a scary place and you’ll often find yourself getting paper cuts on your fifteen-page essay, getting headaches from too many hours spent in the library or burning yourself on a curling iron you forgot to unplug. Basically, a college survival kit is crucial.
While everyone’s college survival kit may vary, here are some ideas and suggestions for creating your own!
