The 9 Emotions Experienced During Finals Week

It's the most wonderful time of the year, but before students can go home to enjoy the Christmas season, they have to get through final papers, group projects, presentations, and final exams. It is a time in college where tensions run high, there is an overall lack of sleep, and sickness is in the air. By the end, most students believe that it was a Christmas miracle that they survived. Anyone who has survived a finals week before has experienced any of the following emotions:

1. When you realize you have procrastinated a lot and suddenly everything is due.

2. The feeling you have when you realize that you won't be getting any sleep for the next two weeks.

3. The feeling when you realize that you have only been eating candy and chips for the past few nights.

4. The adrenaline rush you get from writing an entire paper in a minimal amount of time.

5. The feeling of insanity when you realize you have been studying or staring at a screen for hours.

6. The pure feeling of rage you get from meeting with your group project members.

7. The inevitable meltdown you have when you realize how much you have to do in such a short amount of time.

8. Pure anxiety or fear the morning before a big final.


9. The feeling of euphoria when it's all over and you realize you can go home.

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.
