Two Different Reactions To Finals Week
Rebloggy

The start of the month of December marks the beginning of the winter holiday season (unless you're one of those people that bring our decorations in October) and everything that comes with it. If your in college, the beginning of December also marks the beginning of Finals season. One of the special times of the year when students suffer both slowly and painfully, can only be depicted accurately through one art form: Gifs. Below, you will find a (hopefully) accurate guide as to how one should react in certain situations, and how one actually acts in these circumstances.

1. When your friends try to get you to go out the weekend before finals


HOW YOU SHOULD REACT: Turn down any attempts to will distract you from studying.


HOW YOU ACTUALLY REACT: Says "I can take a small break" and disappears for the rest of the night.

2. When you know you have to go to the library to study

HOW YOU SHOULD REACT: Head straight to the library with a study group and use every resource available.


HOW YOU ACTUALLY REACT: Disappear, no one knows where you are. If you ignore the fact that you need to study, do you really need to study?


3. How prepared you feel before taking a final

HOW YOU SHOULD REACT: You are ready for anything your prof may throw at you. Everyone is impressed.


HOW YOU ACTUALLY REACT: You haven't been to this class all semester "Don't look at me, don't ask me any question other than my name."


4. Right before you take a final

HOW YOU SHOULD REACT: Keep calm, take a few deep breaths, it won't be that bad.


HOW YOU ACTUALLY REACT: Panic. You can't deal with this. You disappear. No one hears or sees from you again.


As we approach finals week, while it is important that we all remember everything that we learned over the course of the semester, we should also keep in mind that it does no good to take finals whilst being stressed and on 20 minutes of sleep. Remember to take a deep breath, get enough sleep, eat food that's good for you. Take the week before finals to complete any and all work that can be done ahead of time. Good luck!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
