The End Of Fall Semester As Told By Blair Waldorf

Because nothing says "finals are almost upon us" like a Blair Waldorf eye roll.

Blair Waldorf

It's toward the end of most colleges' fall semester and, let's be honest with ourselves, we've all pretty much given up. Considering the amount of stress that the end of the semester brings, what with trying to maintain good grades and bring up bad ones, cramming for multiple exams and trying to finish papers and projects for almost every class, we're all kind of doomed. Tack on the several extracurricular activities we're all involved in and the fact that we're collectively exhausted enough to actually hibernate this winter and you'll get a true sense of what being a college student at this time of the year is really like. We all have our coping mechanisms, most of them involving Netflix, because why worry about tomorrow when you can binge watch your favorite series today? My personal favorite at the moment is Gossip Girl, so I figured why not combine my own personal end-of-the-semester dread with the expressive eye rolls and dramatic sighs of Blair Waldorf? I sincerely hope you enjoy wasting time that you could be spending getting work done laughing at these memes and gifs. You're welcome, in advance.

1. When someone asks how your semester is going.

Your response:


Reality:

2. When your professor assigns an extra paper before the end of term.



3. When someone tries to tell you that you're being too melodramatic about the amount of work you have left to do.


4. When other people say they got an A on an exam that you failed.

5. When other people say they failed an exam that you got an A on.

Externally:

Internally:

6. What you're dreaming about doing over winter break.

7. When someone tries to convince you that they're more stressed than you are.



8. When someone humble brags about getting an adequate amount of sleep and you got less than an hour last night.


9. When someone cute passes you in the library, but you haven't washed your hair in two weeks and the bags under your eyes are bigger than the textbook you're reading.

10. When your professor sets the exam time for 7:30 AM.

11. When someone's lack of effort on a group project could bring down your grade right before the semester ends.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
