Dead Week? More Like Dread Week.

Those baggy eyes and sweatpants don't define you.

Dead Week? More Like Dread Week.

It's two weeks before finals. Have you sort of slacked the whole year and finally deciding to get your shit together? Same here. Here are a few thoughts about how I am feeling right about now:

1. When the teacher tells me the final is always the easiest.

I don't know about you, but if the final was the easiest, I wouldn't be chomping on my nails, calculating my "what if" score to see how low of a grade I can get on the test and still maintain a solid C.

2. Lol, Sundays.

Have you ever spent all weekend procrastinating? You had a great time. You got the privilege to see all of your friends. You look at the date. It's Sunday. 11:30 p.m. You have a paper due at midnight. Panic.


3. "Are you sick?"

More than likely no. I just haven't showered, brushed my hair or eaten in the past four days, but it's fine because everyone is in the same boat as me, right?

4. Sleeping no longer fits into my schedule.

I feel like a new person if I go to bed before 1:00 a.m. during dead week. The bags I get under my eyes really compliment the determination and hard work I have finally decided to put into my education.

5. I get a little emotional.

Someone may accidentally bump into me. I'll cry. I may spell a word wrong and my computer will autocorrect it. I'll cry. I may find a $10 bill on the ground. I'll cry. I'm not emotional right now, just losing my mind. It's fine.

6. One of my study tips:

It actually works. Marker doesn't get blurry. Writing will always be clear. Oh, make sure you have tissues nearby, you don't want tears on your lap or all over your shirt.

7. I always make sure to thank the teacher.

Maybe mumble under your breath, though.

8. My stress level is Britney Spears in 2007.

I haven't shaved my hair off my head yet, so I guess I'm ahead on that.

9. So slap happy.

My reaction to everything that someone says, especially at 10 p.m.

10. Currently thinking about my last final and summer break.

Except I would keep the pencil because I am too broke.

We are all struggling, anxiety filled, sleep deprived students. Good luck to all of you, I know I am going to need it. Hang in there because summer break is so close. Just two more weeks. Thank God.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
