Finals Week Told By Amy Schumer

The things we do and the thoughts we have all during this awful survival mode

Finals Week Told By Amy Schumer

It’s hell week. The week where every teacher decides to assign final projects, presentations, and study guides longer than your term papers throughout the semester.

You have to relearn all the notes and previous tests you took for each class in the matter of one week or less! If you're not studying, having mental breakdowns every couple hours, and googling what jobs you can have after you fail out of college, then you don't truly have finals week. It’s true hell that we’ve all experienced even Amy Schumer.

When you thought you were done doing busy work for your 2 easy classes but the teacher decides to add a final presentation in addition to a final exam 2 weeks before classes are done.

You take time intervals at the library to give yourself a break from staring at your computer screen for more than 4 hours at a time but your brain is still fried.

The reason your backpack is so heavy is that of all the snacks you packed to have for when the stress hungry comes.

Winter break feels so close but you still have 5 days of constant projects and studying and stress and you just want to be home with your pets, homemade food, and no responsibilities.

You go to office hours every day for a different professor and they all tell you, that you need a perfect score on your final to keep up your already perfect grade and that you have the chance to do better.

You reach the next level to hell week where you’ve done everything you can do and it’s not going to get better so you just hit submit and hope for the best.

You realize for some classes you can get a D on the final and still get an A in the class

You get assigned a group project for the final and you’re paired with people who don’t do anything so you have to do all the work.

Then they all try to explain why they couldn’t meet or take 30 minutes to do one slide

You have to try to explain to your roommates why you’re taking a 30-minute nap at 5:30 pm before going back to the library and why you stress ate her peppermint Luna bars.

You tell yourself a 20-minute Netflix break watching FRIENDS will cheer you up but you have to restrain from watching more than 10 episodes that make you feel better about knowing nothing.

It’s the middle of hell week and you don’t know what day it is

Then you forget to turn in an assignment

When even the fashion majors are bumming it to class because life is just too much

Your professor says the final is cumulative, it’s the last day to study and you’re ready to give up

You decide to wing your last final so you can pack, clean and relax watching Netflix so when your family sees you, you don’t look sleep-, food-, and health-, and mentally-deprived.

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.
