Finals Week As Told By "Gossip Girl"

Gossip Girl, here! Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of college's elite – finals week edition. You know you love me. XOXO.

1. You're trying to enjoy Thanksgiving break, but your professors keep emailing you to inform you that the end of the semester is rapidly approaching.

2. As if you weren't under enough stress your mom keeps reminding you that she can't wait to see how well you did this semester.

Don't hold your breath, Ma.

3. You realize that you skipped too many classes and are actually weeks behind on the material.

4. You may be a junior, but that doesn't stop you from rethinking your major.

5. Being nice to people you hate just does not fit into your schedule anymore.

6. As if studying wasn't hard enough, you're going through a rough break up (with Netflix).

7. You thought you loved your professor, but then he announces that the final is going to be cumulative.

8. You forgot what life looks like outside the four walls of the library.

9. You walk into your first final confident and ready to take on the world.

9. But then you realize you know absolutely nothing.

10. That one annoying friend won't stop talking about how she has no finals to study for.

11. You haven't showered in days.

You smell like highlighter ink, chicken fingers and failure.

12. You keep staring at the same words in your textbook over and over again.

13. You call your best friend for some final words of encouragement.

14. Halfway through your last final you decide to just give up and hand it in.


14. The semester is officially over – hello, winter break.

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.

"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.

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?
