10 Things You Witness The Last Week College

It's the last full week of the semester, and you're counting down the days until you're done with finals, you get to go home, and it's finally summer. Everyone's beginning to feel the same things, whether it be the uncomfortableness of your freshman year of college coming to a close, after what seemed like the longest weeks of your life, but now months that flew by. Whether it be the sadness of leaving your friends, or relief that classes are coming to an end. Whether it be the stress of going back home to be under your parent's rules again or the extreme excitement of sleeping in your own bed.

Everyone is beginning to get easily irritated and stress levels are through the roof, because of this we all see these 10 people or things occur around campus this last week.

1. The Zombies

Students are walking dead. May Weekend has just passed, and some students drank more in those three days than they have all semester to get it out of their system. No one wants to put in the effort to wear anything other than sweatshirts or gym shorts. Yes I may be wearing last nights make-up, no I have not done laundry in three weeks, and no I don't look like this because I'm hungover, for once it is because I spent all night in the library.

2. Breakdowns

I saw two girls crying next to a printer in the library and a boy walked up to them and asked, "Already?"

3. Starvation

Some students have a ridiculous amount of meal plan money left, and some boys have been at $0 for a few weeks. Shout out to the girls paying for full lines of people in the caf or paying for their best guy friend's every meal.

4. "Selling Meal Plan Money"

Like those girls paying for people in the caf, a lot of students have an over-abundance of meal plan left. I'm not sure how it works out that some kids run out two weeks early or that some have $800 left with a week left, but good luck to the students still trying to sell meal plan money in the Facebook group.

5. Procrastination

There are a few lucky students who have less than a week left, and boy is their work piling up. It's really easy to skip a study session or even one of your last classes when the sun is shining and the quad is full of fellow procrastinating students.

6. The Caffeine-addicts

These students may be drinking 3 cups every hour, I'm not really sure, but they do not stop working. Apparently coffee is all they need to get up for their 8 am and make it to every class, to the library, and not pass out in their textbook.

7. The Adderall-addicts

These students are probably also drinking 3 cups of coffee every hour, except it's probably at crazy hours of the morning due to them being on so much Adderall that they couldn't sleep and pulled an all-nighter, or they took so much Adderall to pull an all-nighter, who knows but you have to do what you have to do to get through finals, am I right? For whom it concerns, I'm talking about 100% prescribed Adderall.

8. The Communications Majors

I'm only saying this because I am a journalism major, while I am writing this I have 7 days left, and all I have left to stress about is an essay that is due tomorrow (instead I'm writing this), but after that essay I have a few days to study for one exam and then I'm done. Very little work, very little stress, but no one lets us forget how little work we have.

9. The Health Science Majors

Yes, we get it, you're a health science major, you have multiple classes that each have a billion labs and a boatload of homework. We get that health science is hard and that you have a lot of work, but we don't need to hear about how much more difficult your major is than ours every second, it just takes away from your study time in the library and will make your super-hard final even harder.

10. The Partiers

Everyone had their last hurrahs but these kids are still going strong. Posting snap stories of them and their friends at basically empty bars or just drinking in their room. These kids have the right idea. I mean, we're all sad that we've had the last of our favorite Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night activities. The hallways already reek of weed so why not keep it going these last few days? What a better way to celebrate the end of the semester than enjoying yourself with your friends who won't see for months?

No matter which of these things you relate to or have witnessed so far, we are all most likely feeling very bittersweet about the year coming to an end. It's crazy to think about how far we've come since moving in that first day in August, and even crazier to think that pretty soon we'll be moving into our new dorms in just a few months.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
