Finals Week, as Told by the Cast of New Girl

It's beginning to look a lot like finals. Stress is at an all-time high and we're all kicking it into high gear (or at least trying). Jess, Nick, Schmidt, Cece, and Winston just might have a little bit of wisdom (or foolishness) to share with us as we cry about finals.

Realizing finals are coming.

Thinking about what you've acutally learned during the semester.


When your study group wants to meet.

When your professor assigns a final paper... in addition to the exam.

Realizing you know nothing on the study guide.

Trying to study.


Realizing you don't acutally know how to study.

Catching yourself on Netflix instead of writing a paper.

Giving up on the paper and watching another five episodes.

Wanting to go out when you can't.

Going out anyways.

Not getting any sleep.

Entering the library.

Seeing productive people.

Realizing you're not one of those people.


When people kill the wifi.

Giving yourself a pep talk.

Realizing that you can't study because you're hungry.

Finding out you're out of meal swipes.

Thinking about the final you should be studying for.

Getting a pep talk from your mom.

When people pretend to be your friend to get your notes.

But when some other random person shares a study guide with you.

When you just want to be alone.

Feeling sorry for yourself... because you're alone.

Online shopping instead of studying.

Waking up for a final.

Wishing you had a smarter twin to take your final for you.

Crying about the final.

Realizing you should've studied more.



Realizing your bank account is empty and you're still hungry.

Walking into your final.

Not knowing how to do the first problem.

When no one got the same answer as you... not even close.

Actually realizing you don't care anymore.

Seeing your friend go into a final.

Walking out of you last final.


Realizing the semester is over and you survived another finals week.

In two weeks, we'll all be sitting down and taking our finals. This will be the day that all of our hard work pays off or we'll realize we'll be spending the next three months in summer school. Finals week will come and go, remember that you're not defined by a test score. Good luck to all the sleep and motivation deprived college students out there.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
