7 Thoughts You Have During Finals Week

Finals week has begun. Campus is dead, Starbucks is out of coffee, 7/11 is out of energy drinks, and every spot in the library is taken. Here are a few thoughts that the majority of us students have during the busiest and most stressful time of the year.

1. I have all the time in the world. I'll be fine.

We all tell ourselves this. These are the words that start our procrastination for the week.

2. Holy crap. Only two days until my first final. HOLY CRAP.


Mini heart attack time. You may look cool on the outside, but on the inside you are trying to figure out when you will have time to sleep. Power naps for the win!

3. It's time to camp out at the library.


This is when my backpack is about thirty pounds because I have books, food, maybe a sleeping bag, toothbrush, charger. Ya know. The essentials.

4. You win, finals. I accept defeat.


Last year I called my mom and cried my eyes out mid study while sitting in the library.

5. Alright today is the day. You can do this. *heavy breathing*


We all walk in telling ourselves "you got this," and rightfully so. Confidence is flowing until you see the first question and start to quietly hyperventilate.

6. Yes!!! I am done. My brain can relax.


I am going to lay down and do nothing now. And I have no shame.

7. I need a drink.


After a long week of finals, it's time to treat yo' self.

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.

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.
