A Finals Week Narrative As Told By Taylor Swift’s 'Blank Space'

Nice to meet you, where you been?

I never thought you’d be here so soon

Project, paper, research then..

Procrastination, I think

Oh my God, look at that place

The library looks like it’s open all day

If school's a game then I gotta play

Anyway..

Ain’t it funny how time flies?

Now I study every night

For a test I hope to pass

Why did I sign up for this class?

But hey, once it’s done

You’ll go out and have some fun

Grab your coffee with caffeine

Cause I won’t be getting much sleep this week


Is this gonna last forever?

My grade could go down in flames

Why can’t this week be over?

I hope my GPA is worth the pain

Got a long day left to study

I think I'm going insane

I’ve got five tests in total

This is so lame!


‘Cause I’m young and I’m reckless

I’ll just study the night before

It might leave me breathless

Attempting to learn more

Got a long day left to study

I think I'm going insane

If I find a blank space, maybe

I’ll write my thesis claim


5-hour energy

How I plan to stay awake

Was 18 units really smart?

I think I made a huge mistake

But wait, just think about

Once it’s done, you’ll go out

You can do it, have no doubt

Wow..

Tomorrow’s coming soon

Studying till I see the moon

Finals got me counting days

Till the moment I graduate

Just think about that time

You slept in the lib, and did just fine

You’ll ace the exam and text your fam

‘Cause you're smarter than you realize, just open your eyes


Is this gonna last forever?

My grade could go down in flames

Why can’t this week be over?

I hope my GPA is worth the pain

Got a long day left to study

I think I'm going insane

I’ve got five tests in total

This is so lame!


‘Cause I’m young and I’m reckless

I’ll just study the night before

It might leave me breathless

Attempting to learn more

Got a long day left to study

I think I'm going insane

If I find a blank space, maybe

I’ll write my thesis claim


“I only love finals if it’s torture!”

-said no one in their life like ever

“I only love finals if it’s torture!”

-said no one in their life like ever


Is this gonna last forever?

My grade could go down in flames

Why can’t this week be over?

I hope my GPA is worth the pain

Got a long day left to study

I think I'm going insane

I’ve got five tests in total

This is so lame!


‘Cause I’m young and I’m reckless

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

Truman State University
24152
sex and the city
Warner Bros. Television

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.
