My Final-Taking Experience Described By Loki

Ahhh, how lovely, finals has finally come upon us. The never-ending studying, and endless days in the library trying to learn a semester's worth of material in one sitting. Once the big day comes, we go through a series of emotions, but taking a final is a stressful experience. Here is the process described by Loki, well, at least these are my emotions when I take my finals.

You enter your class, prepared to go into battle or I guess take the final, but it feels like a battle.

The clock hits the key time, and you mentally prepare yourself for what is going to be placed on your desk.

As the TA begins to explain what the professor expects, how the test will be disbursed, how much time you have, and as soon as you get your test "There is no talking, and please begin taking your test, and keep your eyes on your own paper" speech happens.

You finally have the final in your hands, you turn the paper around and read the first question. One of two things happens, either you know it and feel powerful or defeat is already hitting you in the face, but you try and stay positive.

OK, so you have had the test for about an hour or so, and it begins to hit how miserable you feel about the test, and your eyes want to wander, but you don't want the TA to think you are cheating, so you look at the clock.

But then the TA makes eye contact with you, and you feel guilty, even though you haven't done anything wrong. The reality is, you have no idea what you're doing.

When that awkward stare is over, you begin to look at your paper and accept the defeat, and finish your test.

But as you're almost done, the most idiotic song pops into your head and you can't help but start mentally singing along.

After that weird moment of mentally singing, you turn in your test, gather your belongings, acknowledge the TA, and leave like a boss. Even if you were just defeated by a piece of paper, you are just glad it's over with.

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.
