10 Thoughts Every Student Has During Finals Week
New Girl

You start out with an initial sense of optimism.

1. I'm going to crush these finals. I eat nails for breakfast, I've made it this far-- I can handle a few exams.

But then reality hits you like a ton of bricks when you realize that these exams will either make or break your grade.


2. What have I done?

The wrench here is symbolic of reality, slapping you in the face for thinking you even had a chance.


3. When did we even go over this in class?

There are always those concepts that you're absolutely certain you have never seen before...even though the other two hundred people in your class keep saying that you went over it a month ago.


4. Do you think McDonald's will hire me after this exam?

The crap has hit the fan and you're starting to prepare yourself for the worst case scenario. At least there aren't any exams at McDonald's.


5. How much longer can I wallow in self-pity before I actually have to start studying?

Nothing wastes precious studying time more than those thoughts of self-doubt and angst-- so get out of bed and try your best.


6. Does watching 25 Days of Christmas while occasionally glancing at my notes count as studying?

How can you properly get into the Christmas spirit with all these exams in the way?! THIS PRECIOUS TIME COMES ONCE A YEAR.


7. Ok, if I study for two hours without going onto Twitter or Tumblr, I can go out with my friends for a little while.

You've gotten to the point where you have resorted to bargaining with yourself. You normally have zero self-control, but hopefully, the motivation to hang with friends will bring you to a special state of mind in which you achieve everything you set out to do.


8. oH mY GOD MY FINAL IS LESS THAN 24 HOURS AWAY AND I REMEMBER NOTHING

The panic is real. Your mind is spinning 100 miles an hour and you're praying for a Christmas miracle to get you through this exam.


9. I've accepted my fate.

You're done panicking and you're bracing yourself for the worst while hoping for the best. There's a chance that the exam will be easier than you think, and you'll find that you know more than you thought you did.


10. Peace out, finals, I hated you and I can't wait to go home.

The hell that is finals week is finally over, and you've never been so eager to get off campus. Whether you crushed your finals, or wish you'd done better-- you did it! Now go stuff your face with Christmas cookies and lay in your bed until you're emotionally ready to confront your grades.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
