5 Tips For Surviving The Last Week Of Classes

It’s finally here, you guys. The last week of classes is finally here. Better yet, for some of us, it’s the last week of classes of our undergraduate careers. And that’s a lot to grapple with.

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably just now realizing the gravity of the situation. Somehow, it doesn’t matter that I’ve finally reached the point in my life that I’ve been looking forward to for the past four years, because it’s still managed to sneak up on me. It’s weird how much time can pass without me noticing. Like, it’s definitely my own fault for not paying attention, but I think I would like it to check in every now and then.

Anyway, we all deal with big life events in different ways. I’m no different. And this last week of classes (maybe ever? Of my life?) feels very big. So, in order to make the most of this momentous occasion, I have compiled a bit of a list of things to do to survive the last week of undergrad.

1. Watch the entire 'Fast and Furious' series.

There’s eight of them now. Eight. That’s more movies than years I spent in college. So, you know you have a solid undertaking on your hands that will feel better than anything you ever probably did in your undergraduate career. Plus, this is a great chance to watch Dom, Letty, Brian, and the rest of the gang (except maybe Roman) grow up from mere street racers to a bunch of indestructible humans who have saved the planet on multiple occasions. You’ll probably get nostalgic about your own personal growth from an insecure college freshman into an insecure college senior.

2. Sell your textbooks for beer money.

I mean, c’mon, you don’t need them anymore. In fact, you probably checked out after the first week of class, so goodness knows they’d be getting more use as money in your bank account. At least until you drain that money on booze to celebrate your impending graduation. Also, if you’re worried about what your parents might think of this decision, just know that my mom recommended this one.

3. Go out into the woods and bury yourself in the soft earth.

If you’re someone who is feeling increasingly terrified by the massive changes looming in your future, this is the thing for you. What a better way to step back from it all than by disappearing from the above-ground world for a while? The longer you let yourself hang out among the elements, the more that the problems of the world seem less heavy. Plus, mud is (probably) great for your skin.

4. Listen to every song Carly Rae Jepsen has ever produced.

It’s been a long year/month/life. You’ve been working hard (probably) and you deserve to have some fun. I can assure you that Carly Rae Jepsen is the way to do it. Just check out her album E•MO•TION and you will understand. She’s bound to unlock feelings within that you didn’t even believe existed. Embrace it.

5. Find and befriend Steve Buscemi.

It’s not like you’ll actually be doing anything of worth during your last week of classes anyway, so why not abandon everything and set out on a cross-country expedition to find the greatest man on this planet? Just imagine actually finding him, actually being able to have a conversation with Steven Buscemi. Honestly, hanging out with Steve Buscemi would likely be the best thing you could ever possibly do and would advance your life in ways you could never imagine. It might even turn out to be more valuable than anything you ever did in college.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
