8 Signs It’s the End of the Semester at UT

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

The days of laying by the pool and playing a pick-up game outside McNiff are quickly coming to an end. As they are replaced by multiple visits to Jazzman’s and using your biology textbook as a make-shift pillow, the vibe on campus is taking a tangible twist. The semester is about to be over and it can’t be more obvious.

1. The lines at Einstein’s and Jazzman’s are nearly double their normal length. Everyone needs their coffee fix to keep studying.

2. The Grocer in, ahem, Stadium, has a scarce stock of chocolate milk.

3. Your email begins to flood with CAL Surveys to fill out.

4. Every single seat in the library is taken.

5. The wifi connection is in a mysterious black hole because the entire campus is trying to get online at the same. damn. time.

6. The bookstore hasn’t been this packed since Parent’s Weekend. Everyone needs to get their last minute holiday gifts.

7. Mozzarella sticks, specialty coffees, and the Rathskellar are on everyone’s menus. Gotta use up those Spartan Dollars before you lose them.

8. The general consensus on campus is IDGAF.

 A senior at the University of Tampa, Brianne is finishing up her degree in Communications. After graduation, she hopes to have a job in her field of choice; whether it be in her home state of Massachusetts, here in Tampa, or somewhere new and exciting. And if that doesn’t work out as planned, she has her reality television applications ready at hand - say hello to your next Bachelorette! But until graduation day, Brianne has full blown Peter Pan Syndrome. As she refuses to grow up, you can find her watching Disney movies, planning trips to the zoo to feed the giraffes, eating dessert for dinner, and coloring any chance she gets. Buzzfeed, Netflix, anything coconut, and wine are also some of her guilty pleasures.
