In This Article:

As a tech major in a very rigorous program, it's an understatement to say that finals week is stressful. Studying for hours and hours on end is not an option—it's a commitment that all of us wish we knew about when we chose our majors. Whether we are solving physics problems, understanding and applying complex theories, solving long-winded math problems, or programming computers, final exams are always the pinnacle of our semester stress (final project who?). Every time we fill in a bubble on our scantron, we feel as though we are making a life-or-death commitment that could cost us our GPA.

So to make light of this stress, here are 20 memes that perfectly depict finals week in the eyes of a STEM major:

1. When someone suggests getting plenty of sleep before the exam.

2. When you try "studying" but end up just thinking about how much you have to study.

3. When you show up to the final office hours to ask the professor to reexplain every concept that was taught over the course of the semester.

4. When you test your grade to find out that you need a 120% on the final for an A in the class.

5. When you're actually studying.  

6. When you realize it's 4 A.M., you're still studying, and your first exam starts in 4 hours.

7. When you contemplate whether it's too late to drop out of college altogether.  

8. When you think about other majors and how much less stressful they probably are.

9. When you read the first problem.

10. When you can't remember the formula you thought you didn't have to memorize.

11. When the problems become so complicated that you begin to rethink the purpose of life and human existence.

12. When the answer choices are 1, -3, 2, and -4 but you got 28.

13. When you got 'C' for five consecutive questions.

14. When it's the last five minutes of any computer programming exam.

15. When time's up and all 5 of your computer programs still don't work correctly.

16. When the code finally works!

17. When you try to act grateful to a professor that taught you nothing and gave you problems that were 10000x harder than anything you ever did.

18. When you see your exam grade.  'Nuff said.

19. When your parents see your final semester GPA.

20. When you're done with your semester and finally realize you're one step closer to earning a degree and six-figure salary.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
