The Oh So Dreaded Finals Week
collegemagazine.com

We all know what it's like to take college finals. Some you can breeze through, while others make you want to cry before, during and afterwards. No one, I repeat, no one enjoys taking finals. At the beginning of the semester, we're all hoping and praying that the professors don't say the dreaded words "cumulative final." It's hard enough remembering all the information for one test, let alone the entire semester. As a sophomore in college, I have now been through four semesters of finals and let me tell you, finals week brings out the crazy. However, all being in the same boat, no one will judge you for what happens throughout the week. Here are a few things that happen during finals week that college students accept as normal.

1. You can sleep anywhere and no one will judge because they wish they'd thought of it first.

2. The amount of coffee consumed is tremendous.

3. You've lost count of how many all-nighters you've pulled.

4. You see people in the library or class that you've never seen before.

5. You contemplate dropping out every five minutes, thinking, "Is it all worth it?"

6. You'll cry at the drop of a hat.

7. You've eaten Taco Bell or McDonalds every day with no shame.

8. You've got your mind on that beach trip you planned with your friends.

9. You watch Netflix instead of study because you think you have time...

10. You see people in the same clothes as the day before due to all-nighters.

11. You don't actually know what day it is...or even month.

12. You haven't seen the sun in a week.

13. You see high schoolers freaking out over finals and just laugh at them.

14. You have to start packing up your room for the summer, and it stings a little.

Knowing you won't get to see your friends the entire summer makes studying for finals hard!

15. You see high schoolers on college tours and think, "It's a trap. Don't put yourself through this!"

16. When you pass your finals, you know God has big plans for your life.

17. You can now breathe because you're on summer break!

Happy finals week and may the curve be ever in your favor!

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.
