Ah, every students most dreaded season. It's finals season. Twenty papers and eighteen assignments due in the same week. Each assignment ia more pointless than the last, sleep is no longer a concept, and your new bed is the library floor. 5 exams all crammed into 5 days, and more likely there's that special day where you have three in a row. Here's 15 signs you know it's finals season:

1) Every paper imaginable has been crammed within two weeks

Opening a Word document and staring at that blinking cursor is the worst feeling in the world.

2) Meaningless assignments have been thrown in just for fun

You find yourself staring at the instructions and thinking, "How is this helping me at all? What is the point of this assignment?"

3) Boys and friends will come and go but GPA is forever!

True statement^^ Take it with you throughout your college career.

4) Coffee, Coffee, Coffee

You most definitely have a running tab with Dunkin Donuts.

5) Late night library visits

This has become your second home. You know the quietest spots to lock yourself away and your best friends with the student who gives you the key for the study rooms.

6) No sleep schedule only

Running on 2 hours of sleep has become a habit and something you've adapted to.

7) What is a social life?

90% of your day has been consumed by reading text books you haven't opened until week 16. The other 10% is sleep.

8) Trying to figure out which assignment you can hand in late and it won't hurt your GPA

The one with the lowest point value and lowest percentage in the syllabus will be the one to go.

9) Trending under eye bags (they're designer)

Louis Vuitton, Coach, and Prada.

10) The stress acne problem is real

Scratching together all the money you can and heading to invest in some face cleaning magic.

11) You check the exam schedule and see you have 3 on the same day.

Great!!

12) You also have one exam on the last day so no getting out early for you!

We're fine, really!

13) Calculating your GPA to see how this semester has killed you.

GPAcalculator.net is your best friend.

14) You spend more time telling people you need to study than actually studying.

This is a real problem and you hate yourself for it.

15) Sleep is your only safe haven

Happy studying! Just remember, we get to go home after this torture and start all over again in the fall :)

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
