Finals week is here and everyone is stressing. Study sessions are more common and a lack of meal swipes is a thing. Everyone goes through different stages of emotional distress throughout the week, and everyone experiences there problematic situations differently. Here are just a few Gifs to explain the different stages and situations that occur during the weeks of finals from one of my favorite movie series, "Lord Of The Rings".


1. When you've been studying for five hours straight, haven't eaten, and are on the verge of your 3rd emotional breakdown of the day, and someone tries to talk to you.

We all know that feeling when we're so miserable and we don't want any human interaction and we just want to sit and cry alone.


2. When you've run out of meal swipes and are trying to think of foods that will sustain you without having to pay a lot.

Luckily my school does both meal swipes and what's called "dining dollars", so we have two options for types of dining halls we eat at. But when you run out of even one out of the two, you start to ration any food in your dorm and only buy food at the store if absolutely necessary.


3. Trying to go into finals with a positive attitude.

We don't want to do finals, but sulking and being miserable won't make it any better.


4. When all your friends are done with finals and you're here until the last day.

I feel so bad for all the people that will still be at school taking finals after I'm done with my last final.


5. The feeling you get when you see your professor has brought in food for the final.

Best part about having fun teachers is that they bring food to the final exam because they know finals are terrible.


6. The look you give someone when you're finally done with their crap.

It's a sensitive time to begin with, but there are just certain people that say stupid things around finals week, and one little thing will set people off.


7. When you look at a question on your exam and think you know it but then second guess yourself.

I'm such an over-thinker so if I'm not completely sure of an answer I second guess myself so much during exams.


8. Feeling like death from lack of sleep and knowing you look and feel like a zombie.

We all know the feeling of being dead and just being a walking zombie.


9. The look everyone gives the first student who passes in their final.

We all know they're either a genius or failed the crap out of that test.


10. The feeling you get when you finally finish your last final.

Last final done I'm peace-ing out and going home and sleeping for the rest of the day.


11. When you are finally driving home for break.

The sweet satisfaction of finally going home after being done with the semester.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
