Finals Week: Cat Style

If a cat can do it, you can do it.

Finals week is among us yet again. It is hands down the most dreaded and stressful time of the entire semester. During this time of the year, college students go through a strand of many emotions. Now, take a study break while these cats express the thoughts we all have this time of year.

Typically you begin the week feeling confident. You tell yourself, and everyone around you, that you will spend your time being productive, and you will get crap done! You spend the next 14 hours sitting in the library working on all the last minute assignments that are due before you can actually begin studying for your exams.

You've done so much work, but you're beginning to run out of steam. You begin getting distracted by little things like someone dropping a pen or your phone vibrating. You've done so well with staying focused, but it's beginning to get more and more difficult to keep you from loosing your momentum.

You just need a little bit of time to yourself. After all, you deserve it after all the hard work you just put in. You tell yourself that one episode won't kill you, so you fall into the black hole that is Netflix.

All of the sudden it is 5 a.m., and you have been on Netflix for five hours. Alright, it's time to focus. You go grab some more Starbucks and get back to work. Thank goodness for 24 hour library hours during finals week!

Your exhaustion finally catches up to you. You simply do not think you can go on anymore tonight.

If you go to sleep now, you will get exactly one hour and fifteen minutes of sleep, so you decide that would be the best decision to make. Sleeping in the library is totally acceptable during finals, so you don't even have to bother walking to your dorm or driving home.

The next day is horrible. You can hardly function on the little sleep you got. You wonder how you will ever survive a week of this!

Before you know it, the time for exams has arrived. You feel so unprepared, it's overwhelming! You don't think that you know anything your professors have taught all semester and wonder where it all went wrong. Maybe it was that time you skipped your 8 a.m. to sleep in a bit or the time you went to the club instead of studying for that first exam. This is the moment that you question every decision that you made all semester.

The minute you get home after you take your last final exam you head straight for bed feeling defeated.

Although you thought there was no hope, you eventually find out that you did indeed pass all of your exams, and more importantly you passed all of your classes!

Congratulations! You survived another semester of college!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
