The Final Weeks Of Your Semester, As Told by Kris Jenner
E!

After a quiet break relaxing at home, eating home cooked meals and seeing friends from high school, college students return back to their universities for the three worst weeks of the semester. The few weeks leading up to finals is a nonstop moving belt of papers, exams, group meetings, and projects — all culminating in one treacherous week.

There is, unfortunately, no way to avoid this terrible time, and Kris Jenner knows exactly how we feel:

1. When family members ask if you're ready for finals when you go back:

Yes! I'm so so so excited to take that cumulative Micro final!!! Gonna be a blast!

2. Your reaction when your professors say you can't raise your grade in 2 weeks:

Can't change this B- to an A-? Is that a challenge?

3. Looking at Canvas and seeing just how much work you actually have to do:

You're just sitting there on your bed in denial from looking at the Canvas calendar. You believe there's simply no way to get everything done in such a short amount of time. College professors definitely do this sabotage on purpose...

4. So the first thing you do is start to stress eat...

I need a large cheese from Pizza X, BuffaLouie's boneless BBQ wings, and a fat box of Baked stat.

5. ...then just try to ignore your responsibilities for as long as possible...:

Ignorance is bliss, amiright?

6. ...and contemplate dropping out of school to pursue other goals elsewhere...:


Maybe Accounting just isn't the path for me? Maybe I need something more creative?

7. Eventually, you find yourself sitting in a huge auditorium faced with a final exam:

The faster I get this done, the earlier I can leave...

8. And you begin second guessing everything you've learned during the semester...:

"When you feel like something is wrong, it's usually wrong." - Kris Jenner. But then what if I feel like everything is wrong...

9. Finally, you walk out and someone says "that final was the easiest test I've ever taken!!":

Don't be that person. Just don't.

10. But then you realize you just survived and you're officially on break for a month:

Now you are free to do whatever your heart pleases for an entire month. No more 20 minute walks across campus to class, Canvas grade update emails, or Gresh food until January 8th! Happy finals!

10 Things Only Equestrians Understand

Yes, it IS a sport. Yes, I fall all the time. No, I do not ride in jeans with a cowgirl hat on.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
