Your Transition From Finals Week To Summer As Told By Ross Geller
NBC

After weeks and weeks of studying for your final exams, we are expected to snap out of it for summer. No matter what day of the week your exams started on, whether it was Monday or Friday, the second you exit that final exam you are supposed to leave all your troubles behind for that summer sun. If people actually analyzed us after these past two weeks, they would be shocked at our quick emotional changes. From weeks of stress building, sleep deprivation, pre/mid/post mental breakdowns, to quickly switching gears into a carefree, ecstatic person.

Who better to describe our sudden transition from finals week to summer break than Ross Geller, the king of emotional roller coasters.

1. Staring at that venti double shot espresso that's supposed to get you through this all-nighter.

2. When you finally find a chance to go out one last time with your roommate before all study hell breaks loose.

3. When your professor decides to change their mind and doesn't curve the final grade.

4. Realizing your exam week actually just started and you feel like it's been months. 

5. Trying to forget all of your responsibilities. 

6. When you finally realize the Starbucks baristas at Stroz are probably more stressed than you, yet they are still here to make you your coffee.

7. When you show up to your exam at 7:30 AM when it's actually at 7:30 PM.

8. When your parents call to see how finals week is going.

9. When you try to politely tell the rude people around you to be quiet while you study.

10. When you finally lose it because people just won't shut up.

11. Trying to convince your professor to help you minutes before your exam even though you skipped every class this semester.

12. Listening to your friends complain about how stressful THEIR exam week is as you are slowly dying too.

13. Leaving the class that you despised going to every single day this semester for the last and final time.

14. Trying to get tan skin for summer, but your brain is too jumbled because of finals.

15. Finally appreciating your roommate because you realize you both are moving out for good. 

16. When you're finally done with school, moved out of your apartment, and finished your drive home, so all stress is released.

17. First night of summer when you are still slightly emotionally crazy from all your extraneous nerves the past two weeks.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
