The Struggles of Finals Week According To Phoebe Buffay
Wikiwand

Finals week. AKA the worst week of a college student's life. It's the week where we are forced to remember content that we went over back in August when we can barely remember our own name half the times.

We sweat, cry and bleed (from all the paper cuts) and our professors don't sympathize with us. We sit in their classes staring at the SMARTBOARDS while they lecture as we are trying to get through this week from hell.

So, with the help of our wonderful, ditzy and clueless friend Phoebe Buffay, to help lighten the mood, who let's face it, probably understand the thoughts that go through our heads better than anyone else. Here are some of the struggles that every college student goes through during finals week.


1. When you begin to consider if you really need your degree.

"I mean I could start a new life. I could drop out, change my name and move to Canada."

2. When the library is filled and you need to study.

"So. I can't study in peace? UGH!!"

3. Finding out that your research paper has to be 5, not 3 pages.

4. Studying for hours and you still don't know the material.

Blair Waldorf For governor of new york

Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a Miranda from Sex and the City, is running for governor of New York. I think that this would be the best decision that has been made in a while solely based off of the fact that almost no one knows New York like the cast of Sex and the City.
