Finals Week As Told By "Gossip Girl"

Gossip Girl, here! Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of college's elite – finals week edition. You know you love me. XOXO.

1. You're trying to enjoy Thanksgiving break, but your professors keep emailing you to inform you that the end of the semester is rapidly approaching.

2. As if you weren't under enough stress your mom keeps reminding you that she can't wait to see how well you did this semester.

Don't hold your breath, Ma.

3. You realize that you skipped too many classes and are actually weeks behind on the material.

4. You may be a junior, but that doesn't stop you from rethinking your major.

5. Being nice to people you hate just does not fit into your schedule anymore.

6. As if studying wasn't hard enough, you're going through a rough break up (with Netflix).

7. You thought you loved your professor, but then he announces that the final is going to be cumulative.

8. You forgot what life looks like outside the four walls of the library.

9. You walk into your first final confident and ready to take on the world.

9. But then you realize you know absolutely nothing.

You smell like highlighter ink, chicken fingers and failure.

12. You keep staring at the same words in your textbook over and over again.

13. You call your best friend for some final words of encouragement.

14. Halfway through your last final you decide to just give up and hand it in.


14. The semester is officially over – hello, winter break.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’.

And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you.
