Finals Week As Told By The Grinch

Every college student knows the feeling... coming back from Thanksgiving break thinking, "I only have two weeks until winter break... It can't be too bad." Little did we realize, these two weeks were about to be hell. Teaching yourself everything you were supposed to learn all term in two weeks is a lot harder than you thought, you're even more broke than you were before because of the amount of money you spent at Starbucks, and all you want is Christmas. Now that it's December, we can't wait to drink hot chocolate, listen to Christmas music, and eat a ton of cookies. The only this stopping us is.... you guessed it.... finals week.

When you do your best to be polite to the people next to you in the library who won't stop talking.

Sorting through the pile of papers sitting on your desk trying to find your notes.


That one teacher who doesn't give a final.


Trying to avoid studying at any and all costs.

When your teacher adds in one last assignment due before the final.

When you realize you haven't seen anyone in 96 hours because all you've done is study.

You have a sassier, angrier, more annoyed attitude because you're a little on edge.

When you realize you totally don't know as much as you thought you did.

Having a breakdown and crying but then realizing that you have a tight schedule and you don't have time to cry.

Deciding that you're gonna just drop out because it's easier that way.

You're super ready for Christmas time because it's the only thing getting you through this week.

Writing your course evaluations because your teacher made them a part of your grade.

While taking your final you're able to confidently answer at least one question without second guessing yourself.

When your professor wishes you a happy holiday as you leave the room from a final you just failed...

When you leave your last final at 5pm on the last day of finals week and you realize you're the last one on campus.

When finals are finally over and you are on your way home.

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.
