A guide To Finals Week (As Told By The Avengers)

Not all heroes wear capes

A guide To Finals Week (As Told By The Avengers)

In honor of the end of Finals Week, it only makes sense that we devote a small tribute to the terrors of collegiate year-ends with some of the toughest heroes of them all. Without further ado, here's Finals Week as told by the Avengers!

1. When you reunite with your friends after Thanksgiving Break

2. Then suddenly you realize exactly how much you have to study for in the next two weeks

3. So naturally you get together with your friends for some late night study sessions

3. Of course, there's always that one person who has their life together (and you don't quite know how)

4. Then they try to explain their method to you but you wish they'd just stop

5. At some point, you hit a barrier where you just want the whole ordeal to be over

6. And then you hit another barrier where none of you can focus for more than 3 seconds at a time

7. Eventually you decide that it's a hopeless cause anyway, so you just head to bed

8. You wake up the following morning with an overwhelming sense of dread

9. But deep down you still want to make a grand entrance because you're almost done

10. You can't help but hope that your cram session actually made some kind of difference

11. But it's hard to remain hopeful when you get stuck on the first question

12. Meanwhile, you notice that one show-off in the class already turning his test in

13. There's an incredible leap of joy as you finally see a question you can answer

14. Which only lasts until you're staring at the test and wondering whether or not you should turn it in

15. You walk out with what can only be described as "mixed" feelings

16. On your way out of the room, the professor may ask if you want to see your results

17. Which of course prompts the know-it-all to remind you exactly well he scored

18. Meanwhile, your friends back in high school are constantly asking how Finals Week is going

19. And your college friends are all debating who had the worst experience of the day

20. But then you realize you're only through the first day of a very, very long week

21. So you push through the next few days, knowing that it will all be worth it when you see your friends and family again

22. Just hold out a few more days and it will all be worth it

23. Just maybe after a very long nap

24. And a lot of pep talks

25. And probably some sorting through your emotions

26. But despite everything else going wrong, you're determined to keep going

27. Because no matter how hard it gets


28. The worst is behind you

29. And because no matter what happens

30. You can get through it, and that's all that matters

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
