Finals Week, As Told By Chris Traeger

The single worst week of the semester for every college student is upon us, and everyone's anxiety is through the roof, as usual. An expert at crying for help while also pretending to be okay, Chris Traeger of Parks and Recreation walks us through what finals week is really like for all of us.

1. When someone asks you what your game plan is for the week

Unless crying counts counts as a game plan. Because you're gonna be doing that a lot.

2. Thinking about all of the studying you need to do while not actually studying at all

Honestly, you're just way too stressed to look over your notes and that's just adding to the stress.

3. Studying in the library instead of your room because:

And you're pretty much done for once that happens tbh.

4. Giving out advice to others on how to stay sane

No, really, fifteen.

5. Giving yourself a night off to hang out with friends but you can't stop thinking about finals

#ConcealDon'tFeel

6. Coming out of your first exam like

Good thing you have three more exams to take.

7. Having two finals in one day

What kind of fresh hell is this?

8. What you want to tell your professor when you leave the exam room

But you want a good grade so you just smile and tell them to have a great summer.

9. How you feel at the end of each day

And you don't have to take any more exams if you're dead, right?

10. How your roommate finds you after a night of studying

Just walk it off.

11. When your last final is over and you can go home and sleep well for the first time in a week

FINALLY

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:

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.
