15 Liz Lemon Quotes To Either Get You Through Finals, Or Distract You From Bombing Them
NBC Universal

On the hilarious "30 Rock," Tina Fey portrays Liz Lemon, the often pessimistic, witty creator and writer for "The Girly Show." Her attitude towards the constant chaotic and zany happenings of the 30 Rock set and NBC's cast of characters makes her the perfect representation of many students' opinions of their classes, school, professors, and most importantly, their finals, going into the last few weeks of the semester.

There are enough relatable Liz Lemon quotes within a binge-watching session of 30 Rock to distract a student for the entirety of finals week, but here are some of my favorites:

1. On food:

We all need some snacks to get us through the horrors of studying and finals.

2. On tea bags:

Tea Bag

When you know you the right thing to do is studying, even when it's the worst thing you'll ever have to do.

3. On eating:

When you still haven't learned any self-control and eat a snack for every hour of studying you do (or maybe every 10 minutes...).

4. On bedtime

When you've officially become the grandma of the group and can't imagine making any late night plans when you have tests in the morning.

5. On the real victories

When you have to reward yourself for the little things during such a stressful time.

6. On a strong "no"

When your professor makes your professor cumulative and you remember absolutely nothing from the majority of the semester.

7. On warmth

When you're wrapped up in a blanket in a library and are getting stared at by the entirety of the library.

8. On word counts

When you're desperately putting together a final paper and you're grasping at straws for relatable quotes.

9. On consolation

When you're trying to comfort a friend crying about their tests but you have your own tests to worry about too.

10. On your current state

When you don't have enough time or energy to actually cry from stress so you just have to pretend.

11. On English-ing

When you're trying to get food delivered but you're completely delirious from studying and not sleeping for 48 hours.

12. On being hangry

When you finally coherently order food and it's taken over an hour to get there.

13. On realism

When you walk into your most dreaded final knowing that it will not go well.

14. On desperation

When you have to call on the powers-that-be to recall that random piece of information your professor put on your final.

15. On being DONE.

When you finally walk out of your last exam and are completely post-verbal and don't even have the motivation to speak.

Now that you have a little Liz Lemon inspiration, go out and kick those finals' butts!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
