Finals Week As Told By 'Scandal'
indiewire.com

Shonda Rhimes' hit television show "Scandal" is currently on hiatus, and it's hurting us more than B613 could ever do. But there is nothing like "Scandal" to help us get through the upcoming finals week, even if it just means binge watching the four seasons on Netflix.

Finals week is the best and worst part of the semester. Yes, it means no more classes, but it also means sleepless nights and never-ending studying.

The hardest part is having to part with Netflix for the week, you know it's best, but at the same time it is, oh, so hard. Just until final week is over.


You have to promise your friends that no matter what happens this week, you will get through it and come out stronger.

Your teacher decides to tell you a topic that wasn't covered in class will be on the final. Right. As. Class. Ends.

The only way to move on from the stress that comes with finals week.

All your work starts to blend together and nothing makes sense anymore.

You realize just how much you need to know in the little amount of time you have.

You have to call your friends and family just to remind yourself that it will be okay.

It would be a lie to say that no tears will be shed.

Seriously, don't even try to deny it.

Soon, procrastination will start to kick in.

Then, there is heading to the library ready for the all-nighter ahead.

You try to hold onto the little bit of sanity left in you.


You leave a study session.

Someone tries to tell you it's a lost cause, at this point.

Then, 3 a.m. hits.

You've made it, you're finally walking into your exams.

Then, the feeling of walking out.

Finals week won't be easy, but if Olivia Pope and the rest of the "Scandal" squad has taught us anything, it's that we are gladiators.

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.
