This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at OSU chapter.


The Good News:  We are officially halfway through the quarter.
The Bad News:  We still have a whole half left.

I’m sure your friends from other colleges have been posting on all of the social media sites and calling you about how they are D-O-N-E with finals … but don’t worry, collegiettes; here at Her Campus, we will try to make these last 5 weeks fly by.  (Because we want them to, also!)  Need a break from studying?  Here are some quick links to satisfy that procrastination.  After all, you deserve a little break after the first half of the quarter.

• How Do I Put This Gently?  http://howdoiputthisgently.tumblr.com/
A couple of days ago, I came across this tumblr and instantly fell in love with it.  Not only does it play off the “meme” concept, but it incorporates clips from movies, tv shows, and celebrities that we have grown up with.  Mixed with text, this website is full of laughs.

Endlessly browse through this site to discover what YOU should do throughout your life!  This is a new spin on an old idea that separates life goals into categories such as adventure, love, and travel.
