Motivation What is it: “the general desire or willingness of someone to do something.” Where can it be found: not typically with college students. Who has it: definitely not me. The three above statements pretty much describe my life right now. I lack some serious motivation. In fact, I am even struggling to find the…
Semesters in college are interesting little gems. If you count spring term as part of winter term, then you really only get eight semesters during your time at Hanover College. When you find yourself in the midst of what each semester brings — the papers, the headaches, the friendships, the questionable weekend choices — it’s easy to…
Procrastination. At the start of each semester I vow to myself that I’m going to not procrastinate and get everything done ahead of time so I can have a stress free time.

Although, I’m pretty sure everyone else had at least one presentation or a test this week. My Dead Week officially starts after this weekend or rather this weekend itself, so…
