Finals Through The Eyes Of Michelle Tanner

Get ready folks, because the dreaded week is fast approaching.

Finals Through The Eyes Of Michelle Tanner

Despite knowing that classes will end extremely soon, preparing for finals week can make you feel as though you'll never make it to the warmth of summer. Imagining yourself post-finals feels like imagining a fictional character, as actually surviving the next few weeks may feel too impossible to be real.

Don't worry, you're not alone. All of us have, do, and will continue to feel the stress of finals week until we all reach that joyous day of graduation. Until then, however, we all go through (just about) the same emotions during finals week. Let's see how Michelle Tanner from "Full House" perfectly depicts the week we are all dreading.

Sunday: Denial

This is the best time to catch up on all of the TV shows you've forgotten about, respond to your emails, call your dad and do basically everything except what your planner is telling you to do. Just ignore it. We all know what's coming, but that's for future you to deal with, right? Ignorance is bliss.

Monday: Let the cramming commence

Let's just say we've all put off working on four essays, two presentations and studying for three exams until the absolute last minute. The cruelty of reality has to be realized at some point. Goodbye sleep and happiness.

Tuesday: Careful calculations and acceptance of your inevitable failure

"What's the point in taking this exam tomorrow? I know I'm going to get at best a C- , which puts my grade at a D. I haven't participated all semester, so I can't rely on that... I'll just drop out, I'm sure Starbucks is hiring. I might as well give up and work on my resume instead. If I sell all of my textbooks, my graphing calculator and my five-pound bag of coffee, I'll have enough money to pay for the gas to drive home... Mom misses me anyways."

Wednesday: The halfway point

You haven't slept in three days and you still have two or three days to go. You haven't showered in about a week, and you're hangry. Just try not to run into anyone you know on your way to and from the library (if you're lucky enough to even leave).

Thursday: Just trying to keep it together

You've run out of study snacks, meal points and motivation. The end is so close. You've taken an exam in what feels like more classes than you're registered in, yet you somehow still have more to do. Why does anyone willingly go to college?

Friday: What's done is done

Finally, freedom. You worked so hard to keep your grades up all semester and very likely shattered all of that work this week, but you feel unruffled. Finals are in the past, and you literally could not care less.

Sweet, sweet freedom

Time to ignore responsibility for about three months. Celebrate safely, my friends.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
