Finals Week Demonstrated By Jessica Day Gifs

The dreaded finals week is approaching many college students, an experience notorious for the widespread sleep deprivation, caffeine craze, and opened textbooks. Jessica Day from New Girl provides some pretty great reactions in her show New Girl that are really relatable to any college student currently going through the struggle of studying for that dreaded cumulative final.

The week before finals, you see in your group chat that all of your friends are going to study in the library. And you haven't even glanced over the review sheets for your finals yet. (Obviously, you opt out because they seem to have their life much more together than you.)

Your last day of classes pass and all that's left between you and the golden serenity of relaxing over the summer is the five tests that you know are going to crush your brain over the weekend. This onset doom begins to materialize in your brain, and you can feel the actual weight of all your work push you further toward procrastination.

You finally begin studying the weekend before finals, reading required textbook chapters, making flashcard sets, and crossing off key terms from the review. Sometimes, you sit in the same position for so long that by the next time you stand up, every bone in your body cracks in protest.


The next day after studying all night, you wake up late and repeat the process. You've practically become nocturnal, and in your free time that you aren't rushing to cram information in your head, you consider crying and dropping out.

On Monday morning, bright and early at 7:50 AM, you crawl out of bed for that first brutal final. You spent so much time cramming that you're not actually sure if you remember the information you read about, or if you just remember telling yourself how important that information is. Regardless, you drag yourself to your final in your PJs with 5 minutes to spare.

After you finish your finals and settle down for the night, preparing for the next one and the next, you have come to accept that there is no way you have enough time to study all that you hoped. You don't know if you passed or failed any of your previous exams, and that dread postpones all your motivation to do well on the rest of your finals.

Finally, you emerge from the classroom of your last final. It may have gone wonderfully, it may have gone terribly, but you are free from another semester of classes and can now hop in your car and drive home, windows rolled down and Hamilton soundtrack blasting on the road to freedom!

(Reactions not included: Finding out the actual score you received on your finals.)

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
