Panic, self-doubt, and unhealthy quantities of coffee. We've all been there.

Halfway Through Finals Week As Told By Gilmore Girls
New Statesman

It's the most wonderful time of year... oh wait it's FINALS TIME. That time of year is upon us again. Finals Week. It's the time of year where you talk about how much you don't want to take your finals more than you actually prepare for them. We've all struggled through Finals Week, yet somehow it never gets easier. Just remember that once you're finally done with your finals you'll be able to curl up in bed and watch the Gilmore Girls' A Year in the Life like you've been waiting for or whatever other Netflix binges you have waiting for you.

You've taken at least one final now and can't believe you still have more left.

You stayed up until 3 last night and have an 8:30 am final.


Your friend says she's been in the library for 2 days straight.


You've been in this class for a semester and forgot everything you've ever learned.


Did you even go to sleep last night?


The professor comments on how tired all of you look.


Your friends see you breaking down at random moments.


Another final done!


And then you remember you still have 2 more finals.


You begin questioning why you went to college again.


Time to go to sleep on your books and wing it tomorrow, crossing your fingers those family smarts will kick in.


You don't even know how much coffee you've had today anymore.


You really thought you knew what would be on the test and then BAM, surprise question about something the professor barely mentioned.


You take that last final and realize you have the next few weeks off, free of any academic responsibilities.


Now you're done, so go home and spend time answering your family's questions about what you learned this semester and soon finals won't seem so bad. Don't worry, you got this!

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.
