Holiday stress? Homework overload? *Hair flip*

The Month Of December For College Girls, As Told By Rachel Green
NBC

Rachel Green (AKA Jennifer Aniston) is basically the queen of 90s television.

Though she can be a little over-the-top at times, Rachel taught "Friends" fans what it's like to grow up and navigate ALL the obstacles that a twenty-something will inevitably face.

As a huge fan of the show, I find her to be very relatable...especially when it comes to college life. The biggest feat we are all about to overcome?

The month of December.

December is FINALLY here, which means... CHRISTMAS

You and your friends could NOT be more excited about the colorful lights, holiday tunes, gift-giving, and lots and lots of FUN!


The ONLY thing truly standing in between you and the ~most wonderful time of the year~?

Finals. Week.


Finals mean studying, and studying means stress, and stress means...well...lots and lots of chaos.


You're trying to maintain a positive attitude, but you can't help but react when someone causes you even the slightest inconvenience.


(It's OK, though, because no one can ruin your holiday spirit -- even a final or two).


You're evidently stressed out about finals, and whenever somebody asks you what's wrong, this is your (false) response:


On the inside, you're feeling a little more like this:


What's even worse is when somebody tells you that it's 'just a test' and that you should probably calm down.


Tomorrow is the day of the test that you anticipate to be the hardest... you're not really sure what's happening.


You sit down to take it, and you're doing your very best to maintain your composure. You KNOW your sh*t!


The professor put something on the final that he PROMISED would NOT be on it.


It ended up being (a little) harder than expected, but you studied hard and powered through.


Now onto three more exams... the only things standing in the way of a month-long break and CHRISTMAS!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
