There is a time in every student's life when he or she has a week or two of pure hell. You, as a student, know exactly what I am talking about. Finals week is full of late nights in the library, occasional mental breakdowns at 1 a.m., Cookout runs, triple shot espresso lattes until you're delirious and at your point of exhaustion.

There are a few moments in particular of this dreaded time that could not be more accurately portrayed than by one of the most charismatic characters on television, Michael Christopher Kelso.

Studying.

Midnight rolls around the night before your exam. You're in the library reading through your notes and realize that you are no where near ready for your exam.

Refusing to go to sleep until you know all the information, you make the not so smart decision to stay up all night.

You are no longer comprehending information, and it seems like there's no hope for you to learn all the material in the next four hours. So, instead of wasting the rest of your night, you decide to go to sleep.


In the same clothes as yesterday, you walk into your exam looking like death is around the corner.

Don't forget the huge bags underneath your eyes, greasy hair and RBF you're giving everyone as you walk past.


You walk out of your exam and realize that you haven't eaten in over 12 hours.

Now that you're physically and mentally drained after profusely studying for an exam you failed, you need to refuel.


As you walk into the cafeteria, you see the squad eating lunch.

You smile as you walk over to their table, and then they ask you how you're doing. You respond by telling them how awful your morning was.


One of your friends makes a joke after you enlighten them of your past 12 hours.

Friend: "Hey, you couldn't have done THAT badly"

You: "Yeahhh..."

But they continue to remind you that you probably bombed the exam.

At this point, you're running on three hours of sleep and you're a bit irritable. Without any regard to anyone else's feelings, you burst.

Then they remind you how awesome you are and how you and your GPA will survive.

Even though they joke around, you can always count on your friends to lift you up in your time of need.

If you're stressing out about your exams, papers and projects, don't worry! You have a support team going through the same thing that you are. Make sure to get some sleep, and eat well. If that's not enough, you know that there's a Starbucks nearby calling your name. Enjoy your last week of the semester, because when you're on break you are going to miss everyone.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
