Cry. Sleep. Repeat.

Everything's the worst. It's finals week.

Cry. Sleep. Repeat.
NBC 30 Rock

Ah, finals week—It's a devilish time that comes twice a school year. No matter how hard we try, we have to get through finals some way or another. So take a deeeeep breath, pour yourself another cup of coffee, relax, and remember that you will get through this week somehow. Maybe. Possibly.

Wait. It's Sunday already? Tomorrow starts finals week, and I haven't studied yet.


But, this is fine—I can write three papers and study for two tests by Wednesday. It'll happen.

Let's get down to business. I can do school, right?

Why does this essay have a 3,000 words minimum? I can say the same thing in 50.


When did we learn this in class? I literally do not remember any of this material.


OK, just kidding. This is impossible. I can't do this.

Wow I'm really hungry. School work really works up an appetite. I'm gonna be up all night with this paper, so I should order a pizza.


Wait.. What do you mean I only have .45 cents in my bank account?

How does this always happen? Didn't I just get paid Friday? Can I buy a pizza for 45 cents anywhere?

Oh my god, It's 9:30. It's been two hours, and I still know nothing.

College looked so easy in all the movies. Time to start googling jobs for college drop outs.

Maybe I should just go to sleep. I read once that it's better to sleep than pull an all-nighter.

There's always next semester. Right?

Wait. I haven't showered in three days. Thats gross. I'm repulsive.

But, I also reaallly need to study. Adult life is impossible!

OK, Game Plan: Shower, then back to studying. I can't give up. Let's focus up.

Wait. "Elf" is on? That is important. It's only playing eight times this month, and I've missed the first three showings. Can't miss this.

Finals can wait a little longer.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
