Now that finals are finally over I can write this without crying.

Dear Finals Week,

I hate you so much.

I don't sleep. I barley eat. And worst of all everyday of that week I look like a hobo.

I just don't understand why you hate college students so much. You come like tidal wave. You just take us, push us down, and tear us apart. You just love to destroy us. You just come so quickly and all of us know it is coming but we can never prepare enough.

It seems just like yesterday it was week 1 and we were just going through the syllabus thinking about how awesome this semester/quarter will be. We all have motivation to do our work and we are kicking butt at our classes.

Then before we know it the end is near. We are hating this semester/quarter. We have no motivation. We are worried about our GPA's. And worst of all instead of us kicking this semester/quarter butt, this semester/quarter is kicking our butt.

You make me question everything that I am doing with my life. You make me question weather or not I can do it. Everyday during this week you make me debate about just dropping out of college and becoming a stripper. (I swear I actually won't do it. Don't worry mom and dad.)

Us college kids become in love coffee, red bull. Anything caffeinated will become our best friend. We all stay at the school/library until we get kicked out. We daydream about being in our beds again. We forget what sleep is. We all look like hobos.

Why do you do this to us Finals Week? WHY?

I spend so much money on red bull and coffee that by the end of the week I have no money to go out and buy food. I drink so much red bull and coffee that next week I am on break I am having caffeine withdrawals.

During finals week I stay more at the school than I do at more. I think they just need to have dorms like in the school. Not by the school but in the school.

Whenever I forget what sleep is. I just go to school thinking about how I can not wait to go home and go to bed. Like as soon as I get to school I want to go home and sleep more.

You can tell it is finals week at college because everyone is on t-shirts, sweat pants and sneakers. The girls have no make up and have their up while the guys have really messy hair. And everyone has huge dark circles under their eyes and a look of like, "Help Me! I need sleep."

I don't think I could ever express how much I hate finals week. But this can about sum it up. So hey Finals Week the next time you come around can you not be so mean and harsh. If not just don't even bother coming back.

Sincerly,
All The College Kids

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.
