If 'The Hunger Games' Characters Were Taking Finals

Where do you fall in?

"The Hunger Games". Finals.

I'm not sure I see the difference?


Both are survival of the fittest created by the government (of the school...) as a means of entertainment for those sitting in the plush chairs that can become a recliner where you can comfortably sleep for hours.

Let's break this down character by characyer.

President Snow

President Snow isn't one person; he's all professors who decide that their final will be cumulative just to watch you squirm and struggle your way through a hive of tracker jackers (or caffeine induced hallucinations) as you slowly watch all hope fall away. They offer you a study session that only go over questions you ask.

Effie

Effie is your overly cheerful mother who keeps telling you how lucky you are to have such an opportunity! Oh the classes you got to enjoy, oh the berries you learned wouldn't kill you if you ate them. All that calculus that's going to carry you through balancing your checkbook!

Haymitch

Well, Haymitch is that guy who's selling you coffee to feed your caffeine addiction that went to Harvard but "just wasn't feeling it" so decided to sell coffee to stressed college students instead because it brings him more joy than success ever would.

The Careers

The Careers are those students who have been keeping up with the work all. semester. No article unread, no outline not made. They have this whole finals thing on lock down. Actually, they thrive in finals week because they know they're well prepared and can basically relax. But they won't. They'll tell you every day just how much they're going to study for that final you have tomorrow but haven't opened a book for yet. How carefree.

Peeta

Peeta is the quiet one who lets you share his table at the overcrowded library even though he barely knows you but sees the look of desperation on your face. He too feels unprepared, but watch out kiddos because he can sling a 100 lb. bag of flour like its filled with feathers. So that organic chemistry test you and him share (even though you've never seen him in the class), yeah he's going to screw your bell curve. Buh-bye scaling.

Katniss

And then we have Katniss. Oh Katniss. So brooding, so unfriendly. She sits at the cubby in the corner far away from everyone else. You see her, looking intense with books strewn all around her. She looks so lost and angry and so confused and....

Oh wait, that's me. Oops.

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:

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.
