As Told By How I Met Your Mother

Finals are here (THIS IS NOT A DRILL!), and all the projects and papers you put off are, yes, actually due.

But just another week, and it'll all be over.

The How I Met Your Mother crew is here to give you a little preview of what you're in for.


DENIAL

"It's fine. I got this!"

Deep down, you know it's a lie, but you must convince yourself everything's peachy, so you don't hate yourself for that procrastination nap last week.

ANGER

"Why did I do this to myself?!"

You're convinced your teachers have secret meetings to personally make your life a living hell. (And you now regret that nap you took earlier.)

BARGAINING

*praying and pleading* "If I pass this final, I swear I'll never skip my 8:00 AM class for two weeks straight ever again."

You say that... until next semester.

DEPRESSION

"I'm going to fail. I know nothing. I am worthless... Do you think McDonald's is hiring?"

This depression might've been onset by the all-night study sessions and/or the diet of only coffee and early morning delivery (or you could be right). You just don't know anymore.

ACCEPTANCE

"I did all I could do. Whatever happens, happens. Here goes nothing."

This feeling comes the moment you walk into that lecture hall with your #2 pencil or submit that lengthy caffeine-fueled paper. It's done. Let come what may.


Finals challenged accepted. Wait for it... cause the weekend after is going to be LEGEN... DARY!

Superman and Batman have nothing on being invisible with their superhero abilities. Here are some things that you could do while being invisible, because being invisible can benefit your social life too.

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.

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:
