Finals Week As Told By Marshall Eriksen

Being a lawyer better be awesome.

Finals Week As Told By Marshall Eriksen

It's that time of the semester again; finals week. For me, it's better known as "the week where I avoid all my work until I have a nervous breakdown and cry." Luckily, we aren't alone in our struggle to make it through the week, because Marshall Eriksen from "How I Met Your Mother" knows exactly how we feel.

Here are 8 times Marshall Eriksen was you during Finals:

1. "How is studying going?"

But let's be honest, you spend half your day crying into your textbooks. Or into your latte.

2. Giving yourself a pep talk before your exam

More specifically, pouring a huge glass of wine (if you can even make it to the glasses), stripping off your clothes and then taking a nap.

3. When you do anything, I mean ANYTHING, to procrastinate studying

Not going to lie, I'm a sucker for a good pie chart. Especially when it means I'm putting off studying. In fact, while writing this I'm currently doing just that...putting off studying.

4. Going out on Thursday night even though you have an 8 a.m. final the next morning

Because we can't just not go out on a Thursday night. $2 vodka drinks and all the throwback Hip Hop music your heart desires.

5. When you've been studying for eight hours straight and start making even the simplest things complicated

But really though, have you ever thought about the names of fish? There's one called a Spiny Lumpsucker! Sounds more like something I would call my ex-boyfriend.

6. Convincing yourself that studying is actually worth the pain

In a few years when I'm in law school, this will be me for sure. I can make it through... I will make it through...

7. Walking out of your last final like

I'm running on one hour of sleep, three Red Bulls, an espresso and self-hatred. I did as well as I could.

8. The post-finals week celebration

This is every single one of us (that are of age) as soon as that last final is over. It doesn't matter if it's 12 a.m. or 8 p.m., give me all the alcohol.

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.
