Finals Week As Told By Mindy Kaling

Exams, ugh.

Finals Week As Told By Mindy Kaling
The Closet Feminist

The over-crowded libraries, lines out the door at Starbucks, and campus-wide high tension levels can only mean one thing: finals week. While we may have successfully survived the semester thus far, exams definitely have us all feeling some type of way. Here's a few of the situations you may find yourself in over the next few days, straight from the funniest, most relatable woman out there...

When you realize your exams are now officially a week away, so you pack your bag and head to the library, for the first time all semester.

When a cute boy makes eye-contact with you from three tables over, so you consider the possibility of a finals week fling???!!

When you've already checked Facebook and Snapchat six times each, but you still can't concentrate...

When you consider the fact that perhaps the best solution is to just put away the books and switch your priorities altogether...

You attribute your lack of focus to the fact that you're starving, so you opt for a "healthy" snack...

But before you know it, you've inhaled 4 bags of chips, 2 cookies, you're in desperate need of a coffee refill, and you still haven't even started studying.

When all your friends are cracking under the pressure and full on ugly-crying, but you're just not sure how to handle it all...

When you decide that maybe the trick to conquering your physics exam is to simply "dress for success!"

But then you open the first page of your test and don't know the answer to a single question...

So, you give yourself a little pep-talk before continuing. You can do this!!

And finally, you (somehow) finish your last exam and can now celebrate the official start of break!!!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
