Every college going student has experienced the horror that is finals week. From the back-to-back cumulative exams to the crying in a corner of the library at 4 am – we all know the struggle. This is a comprehensive list of ten major things that one never has time for during finals week.

1. Eating

Because when it comes between chipotle and studying for your finals, chipotle will always win. In fact if it came between chipotle and e-coli, chipotle is still going to win…oh wait.

2. Laundry

You know that pile of clothes sitting in the corner of your room that take up more space than the clean clothes you have left this semester? Yeah… your mom WILL NOT appreciate having those to do when you get home… but alas finals are keeping you from saving your mom. Further proof that they are PURE EVIL.

3. Socializing

Who needs friends, and smiles, and talking, and good times? Not you! You don’t really have the option either so you mine as well get used to it.

4. Being happy

Do you remember that feeling… its hard to put into words but like that time when you weren’t in a constant free-fall into a bottomless pit of despair? Wow that time was great – seems like so long ago.

5. Sleeping

Not that it was ever something you needed, but it did make not causing massive accidents and running over small children on your commute to campus a lot easier when you weren’t falling asleep behind the wheel.

6. Breathing

No time to take precious breaths – the textbook you’re buried in does not allow for much oxygen storage, so proceed with caution.

7. Makeup

You may or may not have caused two deaths while on your way to class today – I guess the horrible ugliness of un-fleeked eyebrows, and a blotchy, foundationless face were too much for some…. Who said looks could kill? SpongeBob would be proud.

8. Showers

Not washing your hair is one thing, I mean who REALLY has time for that, but showering your body has got to stop around this time to. The pile of sweatpants, sweater combos lying across your bedroom floor hide your stench adequately enough and the time it would take to properly take care of yourself just is not worth it.

9. GoT

This is probably the most problematic. THE NEW SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES HAS STARTED FOR GODSSAKE. Guess who doesn’t have time to watch it? YOU. Life sucks then you die, the sooner you accept it and move on, the better.

10. Stressing about your future.

Unless you are a senior (in which you are exempt from this because your whole world is stressing about the future), during finals week all you have time for is to stress and cry over your current list of exams, not the list of things you may or may not accomplish in the future. In a way, this is the only positive aspect of finals week, that you get to for a short time not worry about the failure you are destined to be.

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.
