As we make our way into the final stretch of finals week, I'm sure we can all agree that we are lacking some motivation and confidence. College finals are a trying time and it's hard to fully grasp the concept of constant stress, tiredness, and the self-doubt that consumes us. It's hard to stay positive sometimes, especially when it's 1:00 a.m. on a Thursday and you're contemplating how your brain can remember & recite every lyric to "Look At Me Now" by Chris Brown, but can't possibly retain the lines for the speech you have to give in 7 hours.

Anyway, I know you're reading this article while you take your 10th study break of the night, so here are some quotes from our favorite movies ad TV series to help you stay motivated and feel empowered through these last few days!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything.

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.
