Congratulations, you have made it to the last week of classes!! After a long and arduous semester, I think we can all agree that this final week should be a relaxing time to reflect on the hard work you have done the last 4 months. BUT, it is actually the complete opposite... I'll let our buddies in Parks and Recreation tell it like it is!

1. When you realize this is the last week of office hours:

Basically scrambling to meet your professors to get in their good graces before the final next week.

2. When you pull all-nighters finishing up your 10-page papers, final projects, and presentations for the week:

Everyone has conspired against me to make this the worst week of my life.

3. When you dress up for class to show your professor that you care before Finals Week starts:

Because you're practically going to be living in sweatpants next week during finals.

4. When you think about everything you have to do for the week:

Stressin' all day, every day.

5. And, while you're stressing, you eat everything in sight:

Stress-eating is SO real.

6. And load up on caffeine:

Just my millionth cup of coffee tonight, no big deal.

7. When you practically live in the library:

A place where you're surrounded by people suffering in similar situations as you.

8. Having existential crises at 2 in the morning becomes the norm:

What am I majoring in? What do I even want to do with my life? What is life???

9. Actually, what even is sleep?

What is this "sleep" you speak of?

10. Between the piles of homework, you come to the realization that this is practically your last week with all of your friends:

Because the entire campus is dead during Finals Week.

11. When your professor adds extra work that wasn't on the syllabus at the last minute:

I was planning on that one hour of sleep tonight, but I guess it's now going to be spent doing this random assignment.

12. When your mom sends you the "just one more week of classes!" text, which gets you super excited:

SUMMER IS COMING!!

13. But, then you realize, "Oh my God, just one more week of classes..."

Well, this week snuck up on me...

14. So, then you frantically text everybody you know to hold emergency group sessions:

Let's freak out about this upcoming exam together!!! It'll be fun!!

15. You start reviewing:

This is EASY, I got this final!

16. ...And, keep reviewing:

Did we even learn this???

17. But, then you realize it'll all be worth the stress, tears, and all-nighters because summer is just around the corner!

You got this!!!

18. ...But, first, you have to get through Finals Week...

Ah, there's the catch...

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
