Dealing With The End Of The Quarter In How I Met Your Mother GIFs

Binge watching TV may not be the most productive activity ever, but it is a fantastic stress reliever. As the end of the quarter (or semester, depending on your school) approaches, watching episode after episode may not be such a great idea. But there’s no need to completely deprive yourself of some enjoyment.

How I Met Your Mother is a staple favorite TV show for many young people today, and some of the scenes in the show are almost too relatable. In fact, many of the flashbacks Ted and Marshall have go back to their college days, so of course they know the end-of-the-year frustration we 20-year-olds are facing. To help you through the last bit of school before 2016 starts, here are some HIMYM gifs that show that you are not alone in your struggle.


After Thanksgiving break, you realize there’s only a couple weeks left in the quarter...

... which means there’s only a couple weeks left until finals.

So you have to buckle down, get some coffee, and power through some studying. There's no such thing as too much coffee right? ... Right?

Now, it’s important to remember everyone has their own studying methods. You might find studying alone in your room helps. Others prefer to study in cafes or hibernate in libraries. Study groups are nice because you can quiz each other and give each other some good old motivation!

I mean, there’s also the option of just slacking off completely, but you are young and ambitious! You should really take advantage of the learning opportunities college has for you. Don’t let your hard work from earlier in the quarter go to waste. Whether you want to be an architect like Ted or an environmental lawyer like Marshall, few things are as rewarding as pursuing a career you actually enjoy.

When final exams come up, be sure to get all the proper rest you need. That might mean learning how to power nap in the library... or drinking more coffee. Or maybe just drinking your sorrows away.

Then there are those awkward moments of you suddenly realize that you know none of the material on the test.

And it's totally OK to cry and feel emotional with the amount of work you have to do. Everyone has their own coping mechanisms during stressful times.

But once you're done, you can reward yourself any way you want to. You've worked hard for nearly three months straight: you deserve a well-earned break!

I mean, until you see your grades, who even cares? You probably have a good idea of what they are anyway.

So go ahead, celebrate! The quarter system can be intense. But you made it!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
