20 Signs of Finals Week

It's that time of year again, folks.

20 Signs of Finals Week

It's that time of year again. You are probably reading this list, among a million others, on your "study break"... Which starts us off with our first point.

1. Your "study breaks" are supposed to only be 10 minutes. You accidentally spent an hour watching cat videos on YouTube, laughing at memes, or whatever it is that the Cool Kids do today.

2. Sleep is a mythical creature that rivals the nonexistence of unicorns.

3. Instead of studying, you calculate how much you can afford to lose on your final exam and still pass the class. You have the method down to a science.

4. The library is supposed to be quiet. There are too many people for it to be quiet.

5. That stench isn't body odor. Instead, it is the smell of young adult desperation and tears.

7. You joke with your friends about your impending doom, because self-deprecating humor is the only way you know how to cope.

8. The "treat yourself" mentality runs rampant.

9. If you get hurt, you will bleed coffee.

10. Speaking of coffee, the barista memorized your order, and knows better than to ask if you are okay.

11. You look over your material from the beginning of the semester, and none of it is familiar. Shout-out to cumulative exams!

12. "So how many finals do you have?"

13. "How did you do?"

14. "When are you heading home?"

15. You try to romanticize staying up late, working hard, and studying with dedication. You don't buy into the ideas, though.

16. You debate stepping out in front of cars, because that would be a kinder fate.

17. You count down the days until you can return home.

18. You laugh at high school seniors struggling with "senior-itis". They have no idea. (Okay, but seriously, high school senior-itis is tough, too.)

19. You act like dropping out is an option (although, you know it isn't).

20. You know you are going to survive. You're just overdramatic and self-deprecating (I am too).

Get back to studying, champ. You got this.

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. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
