21 Stages Of Finals Week, As Told By "Gilmore Girls"

As finals approach and we all get into our rush of studying, all of a sudden the desire to spend the day binge watching shows on Netflix increases exponentially because we know just how much we have to do and how painful it will be. When I study for finals, all I want to do is watch "Gilmore Girls" instead because Rory and Lorelai just get it.

1. When you organize your notes and realize just how much you have to do.

2. When you realize that a full night's sleep is a lost cause.


3. When you force your eyes to stay open at 2 a.m. as you review your notes one last time.

4. When you ward off calls from your mom because she is telling you to take care of yourself.

5. When no one seems to understand that you just want them to leave you alone so you can cry and study and cry some more.

6. When you order more takeout than a human should eat because you need the brain fuel.

7. When you are so stressed that you find yourself crying for no reason at all.

8. When the professor tells you there will be a study guide and there is no study guide.

9. When you call all your friends in your class and beg them to share their study guide.

10. When you tell yourself that you are going to ace the final but you don't believe it.

11. When someone tries to give you a pep talk and tells you that you are pretty even though you haven't showered in three days.

12. When you write an entire paper the night before and you can't even remember what it was on.

13. When your friends try to hang out while you are studying.

14. When someone brings you coffee so you don't have to give up your library table.

15. When you think about how interesting your life used to be before the finals monster.

16. When you think you've come to a brilliant revelation halfway through an all-nighter.

17. When you seriously consider dropping out and pursuing a career as a stripper.

18. When you finally go in to take your final.

19. When you walk out of your final.

20. When you hold a funeral for your GPA.

21. When your friends convince you to drown your sorrows in ice cream.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
