I can guarantee at least half of these have crossed your mind at some point.

10 Thoughts We Have During Finals Week

1. Do I really need a degree?

There are plenty of jobs that don’t require a college education, right? I mean, if Bill Gates can drop out of college and become a billionaire, who’s to say I can’t do the same!

2. I’ll eat dinner tomorrow instead.

By the time I get home from studying and taking exams, it's bedtime. This doesn’t apply to everyone, and the few of us who wake up at 4 a.m. to go to work envy you.

3. What grade do I need on the final exam to pass the class?

Time to do some quick math and figure out the worst grade I can get on the final while still passing the course. You know you’re doing well when you can get a 50% on the final and still pull off a B in the class!

4. My ice cream cravings are justified during finals week.

I generally eat a nearly clean diet, but finals week is an entirely different story. Don’t judge me if I tell you this is my fifth pint of ice cream in the past four days.

5. Calling into work to study for finals is completely acceptable.

This is crunch time, and sometimes you need to decide between a four hour shift at work and a better grade on your presentation later that afternoon. Sorry, boss—I’m sure you’ll survive without me for one day.

6. Please let there be a curve!

It’s finals week and we’re all stressed. It only seems fair. Plus, what harm will it do?

7. Time for a one-episode Netflix break.

The final isn’t until tomorrow morning, so one more episode can’t hurt… Well, I may as well finish the entire season at this point.

8. If I set my alarm for 4 a.m., I’ll have three extra hours to cram!

Now that I think about it, three hours may not be enough. Maybe I’ll just take a 30-minute power nap and tough it out the entire night.

9. Now that it’s 4 a.m., I think I deserve another pint of ice cream.

I may as well take advantage of this high metabolism while it lasts, right? Plus, it’s at this point I’ve realized I’m doomed. Time to eat my feelings.

10. I’ve failed all my exams. Time to celebrate anyway.

We should all celebrate after finals, regardless of how we do because at least it’s over!

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.

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.

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!
