Finals Season As Told By The Grinch

Well, finals are here

</div><span id="selection-marker-1" class="redactor-selection-marker" data-verified="redactor"></span>

And you look like this

...

......

And you might be thinking

And you're probably right

So you fill out course evaluations right before finals like

Honestly who thought that was going to be a good idea?

And when family asks what you want for Christmas this year, all you can think about is how much you hate your professors

And they respond like this because they just don't understand your struggle

But finals are quite literally making you into the worst version of yourself

What kind of soulless monster have you become?

You haven't seen the light of day in a week, and your friends try to convince you to go out

But you haven't actually tried to look human in days

And you just can't see past the bags under your eyes so you're over it

You think you actually have become certifiably insane

You feel like you've never been so busy in your entire life

And you literally need to schedule your breaks for meals

Now it's December 22nd and you're still stuck at school

But you walk out of your last final, satisfied with your failure

And hop in your car to go straight home

Where you resume your position as Holiday Cheermeister and order has been restored in the world

Finals are rough. Just remember to take them one exam at a time, and don't drive yourself too crazy. In the words of one Troy Bolton, we're all in this together. Good luck, and may your final days of social existence be merry and bright.

Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
