The Most Relatable Moments From The Last Week Of Classes, In The Wise Words Of 'Gilmore Girls'

"I need caffeine. Whatever form you've got. I haven't had it all day. I'll drink it, shoot it, eat it, snort it, whatever form it's in." — Lorelai Gilmore

Somehow the last week of classes come out of nowhere and hit you like a bus. All of those assignments you looked at and said "I still have time, I'll do it later" are all due tomorrow and you have no idea how you got to this position. But what better way to alleviate stress (or increase it through procrastination) than to spend time watching "Gilmore Girls" and learning life lessons from them? You'll probably learn more from those three kick-butt women than your schoolwork, anyway, right?

1. You realize that the last week of the semester came and you have no idea how you got here.

"Hold on. I'm looking up 'aneurysm' in our medical dictionary to see if I just had one" — Emily Gilmore

2. Upon realizing the first point, you decide you need to get your life together and make a to-do list for everything you have left to do.

Giphy

"A little nervous breakdown can really work wonders for a girl." — Rory Gilmore

3. On top of all of your assignments, you're having to bake things for all of your class "end of the semester" parties.

Giphy

"And if eating cake is wrong, I don't want to be right." — Lorelai Gilmore

4. You and your friends are complaining back and forth, supporting each other in your fictitious plans to quit school and marry some prince.

Giphy

Rory: "If all else fails, you can marry rich."

Lorelai: "I love that we always have that option."

5. You start to consider drinking margaritas to make your papers more interesting.

Giphy

"The Long Island Ice Tea makes you do things you normally wouldn't do." — Lorelai

6. Your professors start telling you to make sure you sleep and you roll your eyes knowing that will never happen.

Giphy

"You have to sleep, it's what keeps you pretty." — Lorelai

7. Food and coffee become your only source of joy.

Giphy

"Everything in my life has something to do with coffee. I believe in a former life I was coffee." — Lorelai

8. Your professor reminds the class about the paper due in two days that she swears she talked about last class, but you don't remember.

Giphy

"I'm so exhausted with incompetent people, I don't know what to do anymore." — Emily

9. You and your gal pals start considering a weekend trip instead of studying.

Giphy

"People can live a hundred years without really living for a minute." — Logan

10. You remember how lucky you are to have an education.

Giphy

"I can't believe we get to sit around and talk about books and get graded." — Rory

11. You finally get serious about studying for your finals and finishing all of your assignments for the semester.

Giphy

"Coffee please, and a shot of cynicism." — Lorelai

12. You look forward to finishing up, laying in your bed, and watching Netflix for the entirety of winter break.

Giphy

"We're almost there & nowhere near it. All that matters is that we're going!" — Lorelai

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
