College is all fun and games (and studying too, don't worry Mom and Dad) until finals week. Even stepping back onto campus, though finals is still a few weeks away, the feeling of dread and doom, along with impending fear finals, is evident. You know the phrase "Winter is coming"? Yeah, that's how I feel walking around campus. Sure, I've done the work all semester, but like everyone else is thinking: Will it be enough? So, I've compiled a list of lyrics to describe how we all will be feeling in the next few weeks.

Happy cramming!

1. "I can't stop 'cause I'm having too much fun!"- "What The Hell" by Avril Lavigne

The feeling when you are just living you best life, with finals being a distant thought weeks away..

2. "Omigod, Omigod You Guys!"- Legally Blonde The Musical

When you're just chilling with your friends and everyone suddenly remembers that finals is coming up, like, in three days.

3. "We need a sign to rally the people, to call them to us and bring them in line"-"ABC Cafe/ Red and Black" from Les Miserables

Yep, that is the library calling you. It's a beacon because you KNOW you won't get any work done unless you force yourself to go and join the masses.

4. "You and your words flooded my senses; your sentences left me defenseless"- "Burn" from Hamilton

Alright, so you're finally studying. Expect, none of what you have done for the last 4 months makes sense. You feel like you are literally reading garbage and you want to cry. Oh wait, you are.

5. "I will give you everything, so baby tell me yes, and I will be all yours tonight"- "The Cure" by Lady Gaga

Giphy

Yep, that is you finally realize that the only way you will pull this off is if you pull an all nigher.

6. "Give yourself a try"- "Give Yourself A Try" by The 1975

Giphy

Okay, you gotten in the grove. You just gotta keep it up for a few more hours, and your golden.

7. "I'm helpless"- "Helpless" from Hamilton

Alright, you've finally done it. You've studied as hard as you could, and now it's time to take the test. It's out of your hands

8. "Knew he was killer, first time that I saw him"- "..Ready For It" by Taylor Swift

Giphy

The test is in front of you, and you read the first question. It's going to be a dozy...

9. "Long time gone and it ain't coming back again"- "Long Time Gone" by The Dixie Chicks

Giphy

Times up. You finished the test, and it's all turned in. No second chances

10. "Talking to God, praying for rain" - "Praying for Rain" by RaeLynn

Instagram

Expect in this case, rain can be replaced with "An A"

11. "I am afraid, because of you"- "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

Relationships

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

Widener University

Bridgaline Liberati

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. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
