Finals Week As Told By 'Friends'

The struggles us college students go through this time of the year.

Finals Week As Told By 'Friends'

It's that time of the year again. Christmas is in the air, break is only a few days away, and our motivation is dropping faster than the temperature. We stretch ourselves to our very ends and cram as much information into our heads as possible. Around campus, the look on every student's face is a mix of stress and sleep deprivation, the library is packed 24 hours a day, and caffeine becomes our best friend. If you begin suffering from these problems, just know that you're not alone and try to laugh it off with these relatable moments from our favorite 90s sitcom.


You came back from Thanksgiving Break like


But then realized you forgot everything you learned prior



When the professor is explaining what will be on the final



And the thought of taking it makes you want to scream



Your wardrobe stays fairly consistent the whole week




Running on very little sleep



So little that you start going crazy



And are forced to caffeinate every morning like




After hour 5 of binge studying




And finding yourself thinking about all the things you'd rather be doing



And deciding you can't take another minute of studying




Because you've lost all your motivation




When the person who hasn't showed up to class all semester asks to borrow your study guide



Your emotions are all over the place



And you result to stress eating




When your smart friend says they'll study with you




When you see something on the final that you know the professor didn't cover



And looking at your professor like



Coming home from failing a final to find out your roommate aced theirs




Nailing your final presentation and watching the class go




When you find out you passed all your finals



Or if you don't do so well on them




When all your finals are FINALLY over



You go out and celebrate



And feel like a giant weight is lifted off your shoulders




Knowing you can finally relax and enjoy your winter break




Best of luck this week my fellow collegiates! Just remember that our month long break is only a few stressful days away!

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.
