7 Ways to Make it Through the Rest of the Semester, As Told By The Gilmore Girls

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

Now that Fall Break has come and gone in Lawrence, Kansas, it means us Jayhawks are in the home stretch. The final leg of the semester can be the most difficult. Between cramming in group projects, Fifteen extra textbook chapters, and last minute tests, life can get very stressful. This half of the semester is all about keeping your focus and motivation. But have no fear Christmas carols are just around the corner and before you know it 2015 will be here. So who better to give life tips then the Gilmore Girls? 

1. Live Your Life and Relax a Bit. These next weeks leading up to finals will zoom by and feel incredibly stressful, but you have to learn to let go of some of that stress and enjoy yourself. You will never live to see Christmas lights if you lock yourself in the basement of Anschutz for the next eight weeks.

2. Confidence is Key. Never ever, ever, ever, lose your self-confidence. You got yourself to college, you sure as hell are going to make it through. 

                                                                                                                                    source: giphy

3. Never Stop Drinking Coffee. If there is one thing the Gilmore girls taught us, it’s that coffee will get you through anything. Keep that mug filled high and keep your focus straight. 

                                                                                                                                source: tumblr

4. Never Lose Sight of it All. You are here to get an education, keep your focus on your classes. Keep your head in your books and make the final lap a good one. Hang in there and you will make it through.

5. Rely on Your Pals. We’re all on the same struggle bus here. Best friends make excellent study buddies. They will be the ones always willing to spend the whole night prepping you for your Western Civ. test or lending their shoulder to cry on.

6. Keep Yourself Sane. It’s all about the balance ladies. Find the right balance and life will be a breeze. 

                                                                                                                                    source: giphy

7. Call Your Mom. Mom’s can get you through anything, enough said. 

                                                                                                                                     source: giphy
