Finals Week As Told By Mindy Kaling

Exams, ugh.

Finals Week As Told By Mindy Kaling
The Closet Feminist

The over-crowded libraries, lines out the door at Starbucks, and campus-wide high tension levels can only mean one thing: finals week. While we may have successfully survived the semester thus far, exams definitely have us all feeling some type of way. Here's a few of the situations you may find yourself in over the next few days, straight from the funniest, most relatable woman out there...

When you realize your exams are now officially a week away, so you pack your bag and head to the library, for the first time all semester.

When a cute boy makes eye-contact with you from three tables over, so you consider the possibility of a finals week fling???!!

When you've already checked Facebook and Snapchat six times each, but you still can't concentrate...

When you consider the fact that perhaps the best solution is to just put away the books and switch your priorities altogether...

You attribute your lack of focus to the fact that you're starving, so you opt for a "healthy" snack...

But before you know it, you've inhaled 4 bags of chips, 2 cookies, you're in desperate need of a coffee refill, and you still haven't even started studying.

When all your friends are cracking under the pressure and full on ugly-crying, but you're just not sure how to handle it all...

When you decide that maybe the trick to conquering your physics exam is to simply "dress for success!"

But then you open the first page of your test and don't know the answer to a single question...

So, you give yourself a little pep-talk before continuing. You can do this!!

And finally, you (somehow) finish your last exam and can now celebrate the official start of break!!!

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
