It's hard to believe finals week is just a week.

10 Stages Of Finals Week From A Graduating Senior

Finals can be a very stressful time for all of us.

1. When you first look at your planner and realize how much work you have to squeeze in, in such a short period of time.

Studying, last minute homework assignments, work shifts, group projects. How can I possibly get all of this done?!?

2. Every night during final's week when you've been studying all day and you're at your breaking point.

You just want to take a break, but all of these assignments keep demanding your attention.

3. When you wake up and try to eat breakfast before your test.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You need brain fuel, but it's just so early.

4. When you get to your hardest final.


5. When all of your friends are done with finals and want to have fun, but you still have one more to study for.

Ugh, guys. You're making it really tempting to stop studying.

6. When you finally hand in your last final.

It's been a long week, but you still managed to complete all of your projects, crush all of your finals. (Hopefully) You should definitely be proud of yourself, now reward yourself with some sleep.

7. Realizing you'll miss your friends for the summer.

We don't have to go to class, but can't we all just stay here? I'll miss seeing you everyday so much. (This is especially worse if you're graduating. And/or if you don't live close to any of your college buds.)

8. Being a senior and realizing you're done with undergrad forever!

Four years of working your butt off and cramming for tests are now over! (Unless you're going to grad school, but you at least completed your first goal!) And that's certainly something to celebrate.

9. But then realizing you don't have anything to work on for the first time in four years.


I... I don't really know what it means to sit, relax and do nothing. I'm so used to always being busy, but now that I'm not procrastinating anything, I feel so lost.

10. But all of that temporarily fading at graduation, seeing everyone proud of your accomplishments.

We did it! And of course we'd be nowhere without the support of our friends and family.

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.

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.
