7 Thoughts You Have During Finals Week

Finals week has begun. Campus is dead, Starbucks is out of coffee, 7/11 is out of energy drinks, and every spot in the library is taken. Here are a few thoughts that the majority of us students have during the busiest and most stressful time of the year.

1. I have all the time in the world. I'll be fine.

We all tell ourselves this. These are the words that start our procrastination for the week.

2. Holy crap. Only two days until my first final. HOLY CRAP.


Mini heart attack time. You may look cool on the outside, but on the inside you are trying to figure out when you will have time to sleep. Power naps for the win!

3. It's time to camp out at the library.


This is when my backpack is about thirty pounds because I have books, food, maybe a sleeping bag, toothbrush, charger. Ya know. The essentials.

4. You win, finals. I accept defeat.


Last year I called my mom and cried my eyes out mid study while sitting in the library.

5. Alright today is the day. You can do this. *heavy breathing*


We all walk in telling ourselves "you got this," and rightfully so. Confidence is flowing until you see the first question and start to quietly hyperventilate.

6. Yes!!! I am done. My brain can relax.


I am going to lay down and do nothing now. And I have no shame.

7. I need a drink.


After a long week of finals, it's time to treat yo' self.

Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

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.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

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.

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.
