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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
