Surviving Finals As Told by 'Gilmore Girls'
The New York Times

Finals week is upon the population of university students, and what better way to illustrate the joys of long nights of studying and excessive coffee drinking than with the 'Gilmore Girls.' Surviving finals week can be a soul wrenching time in every college student's life, but now is the time to channel your inner Rory Gilmore and ace all of those exams.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

1. You pretty much abandon doing your hair and makeup.

Study more. Sleep more. Who cares if you look like a hobo for the last few weeks of school.

2. All you want to do is be a lazy bum.

Studying makes you feel sluggish and tired to the point where all you want to do is take a 22 hour nap.

3. You have crammed more information in one week than you have for the entire semester.

Your cumulative final is in less than 12 hours and you still have 20 more lectures to get through.

4. Coffee is the only thing keeping you alive at this point.

Caffeine, caffeine, caffeine.

5. When you read the first question of the exam.

The downside to cramming.

6. You begin to question your future.

Go to college they said.

7. Your social life pretty much becomes nonexistent.

Having a busy schedule can make it hard to spend quality time with friends and family.

8. Being able to vent to someone about your hatred of finals.

Half of the time that is spent studying for finals actually consists of complaining about the class you are currently studying for.

9. When it's all over.

But nothing feels better than knowing that you tried your best and that you have completed yet another semester of college.

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.
