The 7 Days Before You Go Home From School As Told By Jimmy Fallon

I go home on Tuesday. I'm really excited. College is hard, and I'm very tired. I've been procrastinating some more by watching copious YouTube videos, so here's Jimmy Fallon's face to describe the last 7 days of your college year:

7. The day you think "I have time"

You're not leaving for a whole 7 days. Finals don't start for a few days, but classes are already over. So you're just walking around being unproductive when you definitely have stuff you should be doing.

6. The day you (optimistically) think "Finals won't be that bad"

You always went to class (not), you paid attention (definitely not), and therefore you retained all the information you need to score at least a B- on the final (yeah, absolutely not).

5. The day you discover finals were actually that bad

After one crammed all-nighter, you somehow still manage to pull out a decent grade on the final. You still hit a low B in the class. Don't worry, though, you'll get em next semester (probably not).

4. The day you realize how expensive plastic bins are

All I need is a plastic tub to put all my junk in, and it costs me $25. I've already given up my entire savings account, taken out loans and given my well-being as collateral, my checking account is in negative numbers, and I've lost my pride, dignity, and mental sanity throughout the course of my year. So sure, here's another $25.

3. The day your best friend goes home

How can you survive the months apart? You were never more than 10 steps away from each other all year, and now it will take a 10-hour drive to see their face IRL. You ~literally~ got lunch, dinner, and second dinner together every day for 8 months. How are you supposed to handle STATES between you?

2. The day your years of playing Tetris come in handy

You crank up some tunes and get to packing. You are just a few days away from getting the HECK outta here. Who knew you could fit 47 T-Shirts in one suitcase?

1. The day you see your dorm room completely packed up

The broom closet you made a home has been where you run for everything. The posters and decorations that you have accumulated throughout the year all have significant meaning, and seeing the walls without them feels wrong.

0. The day you leave

YOU MADE IT!!! Congrats on surviving until the bitter end. Now get out of your dorm as fast as you can and enjoy some sweet, well-deserved R&R.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
