The bad news is that finals are quickly approaching. The good news is that means summer break is also on its way. For many college students, this time is spent between procrastinating studying with daydreams about summer vacations or soaking up the sun while crying into textbooks. Here is finals week, as told by everyone’s favorite character, Tina Belcher.

When You Realize You Have An 8 A.M. Exam


Maybe 8 in the morning isn’t that bad and the professor even promised to bring donuts for the class, but when is a better time to be dramatic than in college? Rest in peace to all the people taking 8 A.M. exams this semester, not to mention the people that have had 8 A.M. classes all year.

Bringing Coffee To The Library

This is your moment to shine. In college, everyone has to stick together and the one time when you decide to be the hero and bring ten large coffees into the library, everyone will be grateful. Don’t let it go to your head though, you are still a normal person!

As A Last Resort...

When you have given up on studying and you start to calculate the lowest percent you need to get on your exam to pass the class: this is when you begin to ponder the ideas of flirting with your professor for a good grade. Sure, it’s not going to work and it will probably embarrass you and everyone in that class, but you are desperate. So maybe just a wink?

The Night Before Your Exam

You have set a schedule of studying, relaxing, and sleeping — except that usually never goes how it should. You study for half the time you planned for, then you relax for more. Sleep? What is sleep? You “thrash” in your bed all night, trying to remember important study guide information, thinking about summer break, and honestly, just staring at your ceiling.

The Morning Of Your Exam


It’s the morning of the exam and you simply cannot get ready. Whether you are too tired from the night before or too nervous for the upcoming exam.

Wearing Your Sunday Best


If you look good, you’ll do good… Right?

The Caffeine Addiction


The nervous jitters and sleepless nights amount to chugging three pots of coffee and then peeing five hundred times before your exam even starts. This helps nothing, but we all have to do it.

During The Exam

Seriously, why are you thinking about the most irrelevant things during an important exam? Focus!

After The Exam

The exam has taken what is left of your soul and you feel like an empty loser. Maybe you completely blanked on the exam or actually did quite well, you will still feel like a failure because once again, college is for being dramatic.

When You Get Your Final Grade

Weeks into summer and you have totally forgotten about all the stress of exams and college, until you get the notification of grades in your school email. Yet, instead of being negative, you start to reassure yourself.

When You Pass An Exam You Thought You Failed


The greatest gift of all. You go, superstar!

Exams can be stressful and we may all relate to Tina more than we probably should but at least it will be over soon! Good luck!

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
