It's that crazy time of the (school) year. Everyone has made lasting fun memories during the spring break and have returned back to the campuses fully tanned and not well-rested. Unfortunately, the happy bubble of vacations and sleeping until noon is popped by the next few weeks that will eventually end in finals.

So, with the help of some Parks and Recs gifs, here are the 8 stages of prepping for Finals Week

1. Relaxation based on delusions.

It's easy to tell yourself you still have five more weeks until you actually have to start worrying about exams but before you know it, those weeks can quickly turn into four, then three until the next thing you know it's a week away from Finals and you have gotten nothing done. But don't fret, everyone's been there which means you can easily rely on friends to help with last minute cramming.

2. Having no motivation to study.

Unfortunately, people don't seem to understand that you can physically be unable to have motivation to study and so they just say you're being lazy. It's a real thing people!

3. Going to tutoring...

4. ...Even though you know you don't process anything.

5. Failing at group studying because someone is always goofing off.

Sometimes you're Chris and sometimes you're Andy. Whichever one you are, don't forget that it is possible to have fun in group study sessions, as long as you remember to keep each other focused and on task.

6. Having a panic attack during the exam...

7. ...Then just not caring after the exam.

At this point, stress is a waste of energy and time. Once the test is turned in, that's it. Worrying won't change your answers so don't even bother.

8. Living life afterwards.

However your exams go this final season, just remember a paper test does not define you as a person. College (and just school in general) is really freaking hard, and you should be proud you've made it this far. So keep doing you and just remember that your hard work will pay off with a fun future!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
