The End Of The Semester, As Told By The 'Gilmore Girls'

Freshman year is over, and like most other college freshman, this realization was heartbreaking to me. All of the memories that I made and experiences that I had this year seem like they've shaped me more than the previous 13 years of school before that all combined. My college town has been my home for the last nine months, so leaving for the next twelve weeks seems like an impossible thing to ask of me. I'll be carting myself home to New Jersey to watch all of my friends come back and forth to Athens for the next few weeks. I, however, will be learning more from Lorelai and Rory than I did all semester in Gen Chem so why not get a glance at the knowledge they have to share?

It's the week before finals. HOW?

Rory Gilmore refuting beauty expectations

There is no way that the entire semester literally already happened. Not possible.

All I can do is study. Someone caffeinate me.

Why didn't I start studying earlier?? I planned on being so prepared!!

Almost done with exams!!!

Sookie cries and laughs

So close yet, so so so far. Maybe one day I'll know what sleep is again.

No, I don't leave until Tuesday. Wait Tuesday is in three days??

You can't make me leave except for the fact that my lease is ending. But you can't make me leave.

When you are strictly running on coffee and adrenaline.

Like any good Gilmore Girls fan, I'm officially powered by that beautiful beverage.

FREEDOM.

Goodbye forever chemistry... until organic in August. But don't remind me.

Friends: please stop going home.

Where is everyone? Why are you gone? What am I supposed to do here without you?

Twelve weeks isn't all that long.

I'm trying to convince myself that this summer is going to go quick.

Twelve weeks is FOREVER.

I failed at that. This is going to be so long.

HI FAMILY I MISSED YOU!!!

WOW, I CAN'T BELIEVE I WASN'T THIS EXCITED ALL WEEK.

My mom just told me what to do...

Under her roof, it's time to play by her rules. Except that I'm used to having my own roof and my own rules.

TIME TO GO BACK!!

A

ATHENS HERE I COME!!!

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.
