As told by the cast of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

It's finals season all around college campuses and stress levels are rising on the daily. Locking yourself in the library and kissing your social life goodbye are common activities for every student near this time. In order to bring a little light into this stressful time of year, here are some common thoughts from college students during finals season from the cast of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt".

1. Coming back to school after Thanksgiving break and realizing there's only a few weeks left in the semester for you to pull your grades up.

How is it already December? When did my grades get this bad?

2. Laughing a little extra when your professor makes a joke hoping they’ll somehow round your 69 to an 80.

*aggressive laughing turns into hysterical sobbing*

3. Logging into Blackboard and seeing your grades and realizing how much work you need to do in order to finish the semester with a good GPA.

Oh my God. That can’t be right. What have I been doing all semester?

4. When your friends ask, “How was your final?”

*Hunger Games whistle plays in the background*

5. Studying and looking at your notes like...

What does any of this even mean?

6. When people in your class ask if something will be on the final but you have literally no memory of learning that and absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

No, really, what is going on?

7. Pretending like you have it all together when your mom calls and asks how you’re doing.

I’m fine, it’s fine, everything is fine mom!!

8. When the person next to you is rambling on about how they’ve already been studying for weeks.

Okay we get it Becky, you can put away your color coordinated flash cards now!

9. Looking at the final exam schedule and seeing how many back to back exams you have.

Ok, Math 8-10 a.m., then History 11-1 p.m., then Stat 2-4 p.m.

10. Saying goodbye to your friends as you walk into your exam.

Will I make it out alive?

11. When you’re all out of meal swipes.

I haven’t been eating healthy this entire semester, what’s a few more days?

12. When your professor starts a new section during the last class before the final.

Is this a joke? This HAS to be a joke, right?

13. Trying to comfort your friends during their 3rd mental breakdown that week.

You’re doing great, sweetie!!

14. When you finally understand a problem you’ve been working on for hours.

HALLELUJAH! Now only 64 more…

15. Looking at the first question on the exam and realizing you’re doomed.

Well there goes the hours and hours I spent studying!!

16. Visual representation of what it feels like to be a college student to be finals season.

Me: 0 Finals Season: 1000000

17. Driving home for the holidays knowing very well that you did the best you can but it still probably wasn’t enough.

Well, there’s always next semester!!

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

178

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Rutgers University

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

5199

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.

9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!

10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!

11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!

12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.

Please hold your blonde joke.

1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"

2. "Is that your natural hair color?"

3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"

4. "You must really like the color pink!"

5. "You’re probably not into sports, right?"

6. "You must have such a bubbly personality."

7. "Your wardrobe must consist of all things preppy."

8. "What sorority are you in?"

9. "You were probably a cheerleader in high school."

10. "You look like you’re from L.A. because your hair is so light."

11. "You definitely like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks!"

12. "Do you actually think blondes have more fun?"

13. "You must encompass the typical “white girl” stereotype."

14. "Is that daddy’s credit card you’re using?"

15. "So all of your friends are blonde too?"

16. "I’m surprised about you; I thought you would be a lot ditsier."
