10 Things I Don't Have Time For During Finals Week

No, I don't have time to brush my hair unless I have a very good reason.

It’s the worst time of the year, right before the most wonderful time of the year, it’s finals week. After weeks of somewhat understanding the material and doing alright on quizzes, we have to know everything that we were supposed to know months ago. And it’s all for one exam. We’ll get through it, all of us, we’ll get through finals week and we’ll get to break and we’ll be fine. I promise.

1. Sleep

College students sleeping? Now that’s crazy. College students sleeping during finals week? I want some of whatever it is your taking.


2. Eat

Sometimes you get so busy studying that you forget to eat. We’ve all been there. Well, maybe not all of us, but I’ve been there

3. Call home

I’m sorry that I can’t talk right now mom, but I just have to relearn three hundred years of European history by tomorrow morning. Once I get through WWII, I’ll call back.

4. Laundry

I really don’t have the time to walk all the way to the first floor just to find out that all of the washers are being used and then have to check every five minutes to see if I can get my clothes in only for someone to end up taking them out of the dryer and putting them on the floor even though my basket was ON TOP OF THE DRYER.

5. Drama

Look, I’ve got five exams that I’m taking over a three day period. I don’t have time for the middle school drama that you have deemed important or the underlying hate that you have had for me the entire semester. Get over it.

6. Shave my legs

Unless I have a specific reason, it’s just not happening.

7. Not look like a garbage person

I am tired, over-caffeinated, drained, and about to take a two-hour exam. Don’t expect me to look cute. I’m serious.

8. Pack

Do I need to drive 4.5 hours on Friday? Absolutely. Have I started packing? Of course not. Why would I do that?

9. Make my bed

Actually, I’m doing this, but apparently, I’m the only one. Make your bed please, everyone.

10. Write my Odyssey article

But hey, I’m going to write them anyway.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
