"Studying law. Making a responsible choice for my future."

Finals Week, As Told By Marshall Eriksen

Finals week has hit, leaving college students everywhere questioning their choice to come to college, their major, and their entire life. Going through both undergrad and law school, nobody understands the pressures of finals week quite like Marshall Eriksen.

When your professor says that if you study the notes you took, you should be fine.

And then when you realize just how much studying you have to do.

So you try to take your stress out in "healthier" ways.

You start to have mental breakdowns over literally everything.

But you realize you have to study, so you try to make it a little bit fun.

However, you start to become pretty counterproductive after a little while.

And you start to wonder if this "college" thing is really for you.


It's time to take the test, and you warm yourself up with a little pep-talk.

When you actually know an answer on the test and feel like an absolute genius.

And when you sit there trying to figure out how to word something for 10 minutes before realizing you have no idea what the answer is.

So you just talk in repetitive circles about random stuff to maybe get partial credit for trying.


And finally, realizing that no matter what, you get to go home for Christmas break when you're done.

birthday party

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.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
