18 Things To Look Forward To As We All Drown In Our Finals Week Workload

Brodie Vissers

h, yes. It's that time of year: finals season. As any spring semester college student knows, these next couple of weeks can be unbelievably difficult to power through--we're so close to summer, yet so far. We have papers to write, tests to study for, professors to impress, internships to secure. It's the definition of crunch time. So, while you're wasting away in the library or your favorite cry spot on campus, here are some happy things to look forward to/think about to help get you through #finalszn.

1. Showering without flip-flops.

Such a simple joy. Something we take for granted at home.

2. REAL food.

I feel like this one goes without saying. No more mystery meatloaf or desserts with random cereals baked into them (I'm looking at you, Villanova Pit.)

3. Spending time with your pets.

Oh WOW do I miss my dog. Ava, I'm coming for you.

4. Family dinners!

It's tough to find time to really talk with your whole family during the school year--it's so nice to be able to sit down, eat, relax, and just catch up with your whole fam squad.

5. Your own bed.

A simple joy.

6. Long car rides with your friends from home.

Arguably my favorite part of the summer time!

7. Your friends from home in general.

Again, this one kinda goes without saying.

8. Blasting music without bothering your neighbors.

Dorm living can be rough, man.

9. Reading for FUN and not for school.

I don't know about you, but during the semester I don't have the time to read anything other than a textbook, and that sucks.

10. Your favorite local food place.

Everyone has one.

11. Spending time outside in the WARMTH.

What's sunlight? I don't know her anymore.

12. Guilt-free Netflix!

It's not like you didn't watch it during the semester, it's that now you can watch it without using it to procrastinate anything else! Wow!

13. Spontaneous day trips!

To the beach, to amusement parks, to your local movie theatre--anything counts, everything's fun.

14. Two words: Private. Bathroom.

All I'm saying is it's kinda hard to belt my shower tunes in a communal bathroom without feeling at least a little judged.

15. Free laundry!

And you don't even have to traverse the whole building to get to it!

16. Late night ice-cream trips.

The best.

17. Makin. Dat. Money.

As a broke college student, this one is important. And it's not even for a work study this time!

18. Next school year!

The fun parts, anyways.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
