(Almost) Finals As Told By Gilmore Girls

You’ve eaten enough turkey to feed an entire college dorm and now your fridge is overflowing with leftovers. Thanksgiving has come and gone, which means it’s back to the old grind of school with one notable exception: finals. There’s only two or three weeks left between you and good ol’ Christmas break. Here are the days leading up to finals as told by Gilmore Girls.

1. Thanksgiving break bliss

Thanksgiving break gave you a chance to rest and enjoy the company of friends and family. You’re left feeling more content than you have been in a while.

2. Sweet reunions

You may only have been gone for a week, but it feels so good to see everyone again.

3. "No more class" excitement

Very few class days remain. You can feel the joy inside you taking off.

4. Panic

That airplane of joy quickly lands at the nearest airport when you begin to remember all the finals projects and tests your teachers have given you. You put on a show of being okay when deep inside, all you want to do is scream.

5. Sleep deprivation

Nothing says end of the semester like lack of sleep. Everything is due. It’s now or never.

6. Coffee

Shakespeare essay? Coffee. Lab research paper? Coffee. Presentation? Coffee. They might as well give you an IV with the amount you drink.

7. Determination

You’re so close. You can’t let it get the best of you now. Push through!

8. Testing anxiety

No matter how many hours you spent preparing, you will most likely still feel nervous about your tests, which is understandable since you want to do well.

9. Sigh of relief

Nothing feels better than the relief that comes with turning in your last test or project. All that weight is lifted off your shoulders.

10. Celebration

Kick back, relax, and enjoy Christmas vacation!

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
