Finals. It's almost a dirty word on a college campus, like talking about "he who must not be named" in Hogwarts. It's a love-hate relationship (OK, pretty much all hate) because it means that summer is right around the corner, but first, you have to suffer through the tortures of all-night cram sessions, coffee overdoses, and little-to-no food. During this long, stressful journey, college students all have the same thoughts bouncing around in their heads.

1. Why?

2. Why did I take this class?

3. Why did I pick this major?

4. The professor literally never said ANYTHING about this in class.

5. When will I ever need to know what an ice core sample is used for?

6. Why do we take all of the finals in one week?

7. How long do I need for a nap to really count?

8. I don't care, just want to sleep.

9. OK, I have to get out of my room or I will sleep through my exams.

10. The library is always a good place to study, right?

11. To get an A in the class, I need a 190 on the final.

12. Well, I think I can get at least a B on it.

13. But as long as I get a C, I’ll pass the class.

14. Why does the professor grade out of a thousand?

15. When do I eat?

16. What do I eat?

17. I'm too tired to eat.

18. Can I learn all of this information in just one day?

19. Why didn't I take any notes in class?

20. Why didn't I go to class?

21. Wait. I just read that sentence 11 times in a row.

22. And I have no idea what it said.

23. I just want to watch a Netflix.

24. If I start watching right now, I’ll still have enough time to finish studying by 2 a.m.

25. NO. Focus. You got this.

26. Ok, one episode.

27. Ok, eight episodes...

28. Should I pull an all-nighter?

29. Only one more week of this, then it's home free.

30. I still have to pack up all my stuff.

31. But then, summer classes.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
