Exams Week As Told By 'New Girl'

No amount of therapy puppies, therapy pigs (our school did try this), or even spoonfuls of Nutella can save you from the inevitable all-consuming stress that is midterms or finals. Someone decided that it would be a grand idea to make college students turn in all of our longest papers and most important tests during the same week, so we're all paying the price. The good news is that when you feel weird and sleep deprived, everyone understands, even the cast of "New Girl."


1. You try to secure a spot in a good study group.


2. You give yourself some much-needed pep talks.


3. You find out that one of your finals is scheduled for Saturday.


4. Your teacher decides to make a paper due on the same day as another exam.

5. You reach your breaking point.


6. Your friend tries to help you calm down.


7. It doesn't work.


8. You start making acronyms for everything.

This is a fantastic study tactic. I highly recommend it.


9. Wearing presentable clothing becomes optional.


10. You decide to order Domino's in the middle of the night.

It tastes better than ever.


11. You try to go work off some of the stress (and stress-eating calories) with a few burpees.


12. It becomes really hard to keep a positive attitude.


13. The lack of sleep makes you irrationally emotional.


14. Someone asks you how ready you feel for the exam.


15. The day has come.


16. You walk in to take the test.


17. You consider making a quick exit.


18. Then you get into the test and start to remember what you studied.


19. But, you did not remember quite everything.


20. You walk out of your last exam victoriously.

You did it. Congratulations! Now, go get some sleep.

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.
