The worst week of the semester is approaching fast. I didn't even realize that the week of finals was only two weeks away. I guess you could say I've been floating through the final weeks of this semester like a sleep deprived and stress over-loaded zombie. It's now time for me to cram for my four finals, three of which are at 8am and the last of the project and papers I have due for this semester. I rely on these 10 things to get me through the last weeks of the semester.

1. Long Showers

Nothing feels better than a long hot shower after a long stretch of studying. Long showers help me relax and also feel great.


3. Netflix

For all the times over the next two weeks, I feel like procrastinating, duh.


4. Sticky Notes

I usually make to-do lists of all the things I need to accomplish in one day. I say the day was a success if I was able to cross at least one thing off my list.



5. My favorite Snacks

Popcorn, sour gummy worms, Twizzlers, chips and salsa, chicken nuggets are just a few of my favorites. I need them for all the late nights I have ahead of me.


6. Headphones

Pop these babies in and start listening to my favorite songs. I'm sure to get a bunch of homework done.



7. Cuddles with my cats

For more procrastinating.


8. My alarm clock

To wake myself up for the three 8 am finals I have. Why does NDSU even schedule their finals at that early of an hour?!


9. The snooze button on my alarm clock

I will need those extra five minutes of sleep on the days of my 8 am finals.


10. Motivation

Whatever last drops I can squeeze out of myself before the winter break. They will be much needed over the next two weeks.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

10 Things About Finals Week

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
