Hey college students, Gossip Girl here. Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving break, but don't get too comfortable because the worst week of the semester is quickly approaching. Hope you're prepared because the stress and tensions are going to be at an all time high. Even if you don't love finals, you know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl.

1. Looking at the amount of work that needs to be done, and immediately doing something else to avoid it.

I can't study right now I have more important things to do. I have to finish this season. There's only like 14 episodes left. Also yesterday I noticed the microwave is dirty, I seriously have to clean that before I study. It's necessary.

2. Deciding to go out instead of studying for a cumulative final that is in two days.

If I stay in and study all I'm gonna do is watch my friends have fun on Snapchat. I'll be so upset; I can't do that to myself.

3. Stress eating at all times of the day.

Yes, this is my fifth time eating McDonalds today. Yes, I went to Target yesterday and bought six bags of chips, and yes, they're all gone already. I'm in a rough patch in my life, so please let me be.

4. Opening a notebook only to realize that skipping so many classes left a few holes in the notes.

Hmm... this page of my history notes is talking about WWI and the next page is about Obama... seems that I may have missed a few things here.

5. Trying to study and realizing the material is like a foreign language.

Maybe I should've paid attention in class instead of online shopping on my laptop the whole time.

6. Calculating the lowest grade possible to recieve on the final without dropping a letter grade.

Okay... so I need an 80 % to keep my B. That seems pretty steep, so maybe the professor will curve when I get a little lower.

7. Harassing professors via email for extra credit.

Ignoring my emails will not deter me; it will only cause me to email you 50 more times. Like I only need 27 more points for an A. I don't think I'm asking for much here.

8. Looking back at pictures from earlier in the semester when life was easy and fun.

Wow... I've almost forgotten how I look when I'm not seven cups of coffee deep and have slept more than three hours in the last three days.

9. Finding out that a final is cumulative.

I don't even remember what I ate for dinner yesterday how am I supposed to remember what I learned in August? Cumulative finals were invented by the devil I'm sure of it.

10. Saying goodbye to the professors who have made life a living hell for the semester.

Nice to see you professor. I see that you're alive and well even though you didn't respond to any of my 50 emails. I'll make sure to give you a fantastic rating on rate my professor.

11. Being done with finals, able go home, and do no school work for an entire month.

The stress is over and it's finally time to sleep, eat and Netflix life away in my own bed with my pet. This is what dreams are made of.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
