Finals Week As Told by One Tree Hill

As far as CW teen soaps go, "One Tree Hill" takes the cake in speaking to our soul. In a town filled with love triangles, parental abandonment, death, and crazy stalkers, the show's wisdom can apply to a similar tragedy: finals week. We are going to look at just some of the times "One Tree Hill" was completely relevant to our real lives, especially when as we prepare for a terrifying exam.

You go through the trouble of booking a group study room and no one from your class shows up.

Seriously? Do they have any idea how deeply that hurts me? The only way we will survive this is if we work to come together.

Your professor tells you the exam is cumulative, with an essay.

How do I even begin to prepare for this? It will take me an entire month just to get through and review all the material. Retaining it is a whole other story.

You stop caring about what you eat and what you weigh, and succumb to stress and emotional eating.

Looking decent in a bathing suit is completely overrated, right?

You finally have some much needed time to relax and your friends want to go out.

You realize you have not done anything exciting in a week because you have been so busy studying.

Why does it have to be this way? Why?

One of your friends tells you they don't have any final exams.

Your neighbors insist on being loud when you are trying to cram in a power nap between rigorous study sessions.

Don't these idiots have some work they need to do?

You are on the verge of a meltdown because you just can't take it anymore.

Please tell me that is not the only bottle of wine in the house.

You turn in an essay you are not that happy with.

You climb into your closet and sob because you are so exhausted.

Please, let there be a light at the end of this dark, sleepless tunnel.

You actually get some time to rest between exams.

I never thought sleep would be a luxury, but I will never take it for granted, again.

Things your professor promised wouldn't be on the exam are actually on the exam. And worth a lot of points.


What kind of sick person does this?

You're angry with yourself because you are pretty sure you bombed your exam.

When it is finally Friday, exam week is over at last, and you get to spend some time with your beloved sisters before you separate for an entire summer.


College is tough, sometimes, but the friendships you build certainly make it all worthwhile.

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.
