Finals As Told By Gossip Girl

Ahhhh finals season. The end of school is near and basically everyone has a painful case of spring fever. You find yourself continuously shutting your eyes, imagining yourself on a beach somewhere, anywhere at all, wondering when the time of relaxation and summer break will actually come and if it actually still exists, that is. The light at the end of the tunnel is so close, yet so far. There's just one thing standing in between you and summer. One word, six letters. Finals.

You find yourself sitting in class, finals review after finals review. You look outside, yearning to be amongst the trees and warm air. As much as you wish you were skipping around outside with your friends without a worry in the world, that's just too bad. Finals reviews will prepare you for the daunting exams that lie ahead so there's nothing better to do than sit there and take it all in.

So you've sat through all of the reviews, you've gone to office hours and asked your teachers all of the questions that you don't really care about the answer to; you just needed to show that you care. You've even gone to the library and put in countless study hours, all to hope that you might pass.

Now you find yourself the night before your first exam, chewing away at your nails. Should you stay up and study? Should you get your beauty rest and hope that the things you do know stick in your brain till tomorrow? Ug.

A soft smile is all you can manage at this point.

All of a sudden, you have a change of heart. You wake up early, shower, and prep yourself for what is to come. Put on your lucky outfit girl and throw on those sunglasses, because you’re about to kill it.

Three Words. Eight Letters. You did it.

And finally, finals season is over. The light at the end of the tunnel is finally here and the warm ocean breeze is actually in sight. You throw your old papers out, allowing them to go up in flames once and for all. And the good thing? You don’t have to see finals every again. Until next year that is.

Xoxo,

Gossip Girl

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.
