Finals Week, As Told By Friends

Sometimes you're Ross, sometimes you're Joey.

Finals Week, As Told By Friends
Brilliant Baboon

Finals week is upon us! And, no matter how hard we study, sometimes we just never feel prepared. So when you walk into that two hour exam for that class that you haven't been to all semester, breathe first and panic later. For some comic relief in this time of struggle, here is the cast of Friends to show that their struggles are always relevant in any situation in every day life.

Trying to make sense of the study guide online for the class you haven't gone to all semester like:

Everything is laid out for you but nothing makes sense because you spent the entire semester binge watching Shameless instead of reading up on Socrates in Intro to Philosophy.

And then the teacher tells you that exam is cumulative:

Like seriously, have you no heart?

Meanwhile, the only person that you know in that lecture refuses to give you access to all of the notes that you missed.

Ok Becky from Econ, that is the last time I ever let you borrow a pencil.

Your face when your parents ask if you're ready for your finals:

The less mom and dad know, the better

But how can you be? Attempting to study in your room when everyone in the building seems to think quiet hours do not exist is nearly impossible.

24 hour quiet hours means absolutely nothing to the stomp team living above you or the rowdy kids down the hall. But you can't tell what would be worse: not being able to hear yourself think or that walk over to the library.

So of course getting that 5th cup of coffee in before your 8 a.m. final is crucial to your success.

If you're blood isn't at least 65% caffeine, how can you be expected to stay awake? And who cares if it's crappy cafeteria coffee? No coffee, no worky.

When one of your roommates doesn't have any finals and leaves the rest of you there struggling with yours.

Thursday night hits and all of your friends are either moving out or celebrating at the bar, while you got stuck with the last final slot on the last day of the week.

And then you've got that kid in front of you in class who walks out of EVERY EXAM boasting about how *easy* it was.

You know who you are.

But you suck it up and walk out like:

Did you study enough? Sure! Did you understand the information? Nope! Did you pass? Who knows!


Cheers to the end of the school year and best of luck to you all on your finals!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
