10 Stages of Finals Week

Finals week - the bane of every college student's existence. We've all been through it, and breaking down your days is incredibly key. Here's a guide to getting through finals, in stages.


1. Plan out your days accordingly.

Class from 7:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Grab snacks from room 1:05.

Go to lib from 1:05 to 5.

Coffee break 2:50 to 3.

Cry on couch in lib 3:45.

Go eat the feelings 5:05 to 5:45.

Go back to the lib 5:50 to 12 a.m.

Go to dorm 12:05 a.m.

Cry in shower 12:10 a.m.

Watch Netflix 12:30 a.m. to 1:15 a.m.

Cry yourself to sleep 1:20 a.m.

2. Plan out the ways you can support yourself if you drop out of college.

Lets face it, at least once a day you consider dropping out of school and becoming a stripper; it's just a right of passage

3.Cry everywhere and anywhere.

No one will judge you; they feel the same way and might even join you

4. Call om and have a mental breakdown at least once a day.

Why did you let me leave home and try to be an adult? I don’t like it and I no longer want to do it. Help me.

5. Finals week is full of sleep-deprived students suffering from caffeine withdrawals.

Someone is sleeping in the hallway of the classroom building? Not weird. That person fell asleep while eating their dinner? Wow, I am jealous; that’s a good way to go down.

6.Your professors have no sympathy for you.

They know that you tried to save your grades last minute, they know you haven’t slept in days, they even know that you’re probably only alive because of the masses of caffeine in your veins, but they do not care. They are just as ready to get to summer as you are, and will have no mercy when it comes to getting that much-needed break from you fools.

7. You think the final is easy until you...

…turn to the second page and I promise you will lose all of that confidence. No, professor, this question was not on your study guide and I have no idea what I am doing. You think you have that question, then go to the next one and realize, hahaha, yeah, no, you really have no idea when you were taught this.

8. You don't like coffee? Well, finals week will change that.

When I went away to school I absolutely hated the taste of coffee. I now probably consist of 75 percent coffee and 25 percent blood.

9. Remember, "Cs get degrees."

Probably not the smartest strategy, but hey, it works.

10. There is no greater feeling than walking out of your last final.

Tears of joy are streaming from your eyes because you know you get to sleep again and don’t have to worry about school for a while … but let's be real, by the time you recover from finals it will be time to start the finals process all over again.

Happy finals week, and may the curve be ever in your favor!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
