Dealing With The End Of The Quarter In How I Met Your Mother GIFs

Binge watching TV may not be the most productive activity ever, but it is a fantastic stress reliever. As the end of the quarter (or semester, depending on your school) approaches, watching episode after episode may not be such a great idea. But there’s no need to completely deprive yourself of some enjoyment.

How I Met Your Mother is a staple favorite TV show for many young people today, and some of the scenes in the show are almost too relatable. In fact, many of the flashbacks Ted and Marshall have go back to their college days, so of course they know the end-of-the-year frustration we 20-year-olds are facing. To help you through the last bit of school before 2016 starts, here are some HIMYM gifs that show that you are not alone in your struggle.


After Thanksgiving break, you realize there’s only a couple weeks left in the quarter...

... which means there’s only a couple weeks left until finals.

So you have to buckle down, get some coffee, and power through some studying. There's no such thing as too much coffee right? ... Right?

Now, it’s important to remember everyone has their own studying methods. You might find studying alone in your room helps. Others prefer to study in cafes or hibernate in libraries. Study groups are nice because you can quiz each other and give each other some good old motivation!

I mean, there’s also the option of just slacking off completely, but you are young and ambitious! You should really take advantage of the learning opportunities college has for you. Don’t let your hard work from earlier in the quarter go to waste. Whether you want to be an architect like Ted or an environmental lawyer like Marshall, few things are as rewarding as pursuing a career you actually enjoy.

When final exams come up, be sure to get all the proper rest you need. That might mean learning how to power nap in the library... or drinking more coffee. Or maybe just drinking your sorrows away.

Then there are those awkward moments of you suddenly realize that you know none of the material on the test.

And it's totally OK to cry and feel emotional with the amount of work you have to do. Everyone has their own coping mechanisms during stressful times.

But once you're done, you can reward yourself any way you want to. You've worked hard for nearly three months straight: you deserve a well-earned break!

I mean, until you see your grades, who even cares? You probably have a good idea of what they are anyway.

So go ahead, celebrate! The quarter system can be intense. But you made it!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
