Finals Week Demonstrated By Jessica Day Gifs

The dreaded finals week is approaching many college students, an experience notorious for the widespread sleep deprivation, caffeine craze, and opened textbooks. Jessica Day from New Girl provides some pretty great reactions in her show New Girl that are really relatable to any college student currently going through the struggle of studying for that dreaded cumulative final.

The week before finals, you see in your group chat that all of your friends are going to study in the library. And you haven't even glanced over the review sheets for your finals yet. (Obviously, you opt out because they seem to have their life much more together than you.)

Your last day of classes pass and all that's left between you and the golden serenity of relaxing over the summer is the five tests that you know are going to crush your brain over the weekend. This onset doom begins to materialize in your brain, and you can feel the actual weight of all your work push you further toward procrastination.

You finally begin studying the weekend before finals, reading required textbook chapters, making flashcard sets, and crossing off key terms from the review. Sometimes, you sit in the same position for so long that by the next time you stand up, every bone in your body cracks in protest.


The next day after studying all night, you wake up late and repeat the process. You've practically become nocturnal, and in your free time that you aren't rushing to cram information in your head, you consider crying and dropping out.

On Monday morning, bright and early at 7:50 AM, you crawl out of bed for that first brutal final. You spent so much time cramming that you're not actually sure if you remember the information you read about, or if you just remember telling yourself how important that information is. Regardless, you drag yourself to your final in your PJs with 5 minutes to spare.

After you finish your finals and settle down for the night, preparing for the next one and the next, you have come to accept that there is no way you have enough time to study all that you hoped. You don't know if you passed or failed any of your previous exams, and that dread postpones all your motivation to do well on the rest of your finals.

Finally, you emerge from the classroom of your last final. It may have gone wonderfully, it may have gone terribly, but you are free from another semester of classes and can now hop in your car and drive home, windows rolled down and Hamilton soundtrack blasting on the road to freedom!

(Reactions not included: Finding out the actual score you received on your finals.)

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.
