11 Stages Of Surviving Finals As Told By Joey Tribbiani

Yes, it's that time of year. The time when sleep is a luxury and school is the ONLY priority. The late nights, stressful tests and far, far too many cups of caffeine are destined to leave you as little more than a shell of what you once were.

Although I know Friends won't solve all your finals blues, it at least pretends like there's a silver lining. Plus, all of us can relate to Joey during finals week.

1. You realize finals week is next week.


You just got back from Thanksgiving like a week ago! You're practically still in break mode! Someone did not plan this out correctly.

2. You go to class study sessions and quickly learn you know nothing.


Why does everyone look so calm? Did you really learn all this during the semester?

3. You try to start off strong.


You've collected and organized all your notes, scheduled a meeting with a professor for extra help, and scheduled blocks of time to study before the night before the test arrives.

4. This ultimately does not work out.


Your notes are a mess, you overslept and missed the meeting, and a Christmas movie marathon somehow diverted your attention away from your designated study time.

5. You scramble to get all your studying done last minute.


If you can lock yourself away from the outside world, find a way to get 12 hours of work out of the next ten hours before your 8 a.m. rolls around and pray a lot, there may still be hope for you.

You know you did this to yourself, but that doesn't stop you from being bitter.

6. You're up studying so late, your notes stop making sense.


You've read the same textbook page five times, but somehow still can't recall what it said. It might as well be written in a foreign language, at this point.

7. You hit your second wind.


It's 4 a.m., you're halfway through your notes, and suddenly couldn't be feeling better. It might be the caffeine, but either way -- you have got this.

8. You fear you've reached insanity.


You definitely do not got this.

9. Snack break!


Time and space have blended together, and suddenly meal times no longer hold any meaning. You still have a few hours until breakfast, but you're so hungry.

You've put in a lot of work, right? You deserve that Easy-Mac. And the bagel. And the popcorn.

10. It's go-time.


You somehow stumble your way to class the next morning and now all that's left to do is take those tests.

11. You're done!


Pass or fail, there's nothing else you can do. The semester flew by, finals are over and break has begun. You want to celebrate, but know you're really just going to take a nap.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

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.
