Finals Week Told By Our Favorite F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Oh finals week. It's the time of year when college students' checking accounts take a huge blow from buying fast food, Monsters, Red Bulls, and coffee. Everyone is sick and dying and trying to study. Personally, when writing a paper I absolutely hate, or trying to memorize a biological pathway, I find the best study group to be my F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Here are eleven moments on the timeless TV show that anyone who faces finals week can relate to:

1) When you realize finals week has gone from days away to hours away.

Let the meltdowns begin.

2) So you begin to study, thinking it will be a light review. But then you realize you have learned NONE of the material.

Seriously, what is it? The stress? The time since the lessons? Simply not learning it to begin with? Why do finals make everyone go blank?

3) When everyone starts telling you to stop drinking Monsters and coffee, you "need sleep."

There is simply not enough time to sleep, study, and look at articles and memes about finals to reassure yourself that you're not alone in your procrastination. Caffeine is on the list of requirements to survive finals week, as well as chocolate, fast food meals, and potato chips...oh yeah, and you're study notes.

4) You will do anything, and I mean anything, to avoid studying.

Including creating a large poking device to annoy your neighbor. Suddenly, philosophical musings, such as the particular groove the paint makes on the wall, sound unbelievably interesting.

5) On the morning of you're first final, when your parent/roommate/classmate asks how you feel about the upcoming test.

Especially when you hear everyone talking about material you've never heard of. So, as you frantically look through your notes for whatever the heck they're talking about, you realize you've studied the wrong sections, but you have to play it cool cause the final is in five minutes. No? Just me? Okay then.

6) First exam. First question, don't know it so skip to next question. After looking at the whole exam and realizing you know nothing.

"My eyes!"

7) Trying to come up with something that sounds like a good answer for the professor who loves fill in the blank.

I know this. I know this. I know this. Reads the question again. Yeah I don't know this.

8) But you make it all up anyway, and charge through the questions before you can second guess yourself.

When all else fails, go Red Ross on that test.

9) You survived the first day of the week from hell. You deserve a reward, my friend.

Like a bubble bath and wine, for example.

10) And then you realize you have to do it all over again tomorrow.


Please no.

11) But remember, it will be okay. Just train your mind.

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.

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.
