Here it is. The week every college student across the country has been dreading. Finals Week is here. Unfortunately, this means that instead of staying up until 3 am binge-watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix, we will be staying up trying to absorb every last bit of information we were given this past semester. In order to prepare for the worst week known to humankind, here are a few things essential to surviving finals week.

Notecards, Pens, Highlighters

First things first, you can't study without supplies. Make sure to have plenty of school supplies in hand. The last thing you need is to run out of notecards when you're studying.

Comfort Food Is The Best Food

Finals = Stress Eating. Go ahead and shamelessly order a pizza to the library or stock up on sugar-filled snacks. You deserve it for making it this far without a mental breakdown!

Find A Study Buddy

Study with friends. It's good to have motivation during this stressful week. Having people who love you surrounding you will keep you happy and motivated to study harder and in the end, you'll do better on your finals. Be each other's support system!

COFFEE..Lots and Lots of Coffee

Trust me...you'll need it.

Bring A Blanket

If you're like me you probably spend every waking moment in the library during finals week. Libraries tend to be cold and you don't want to be battling frostbite while trying to study so bring a blanket. Having a blanket also helps when you need to take a study break and cuddle up in a corner for a nap.

Finals week is rough. The next few days are going to be filled with sleepless nights, tears, stress, and what will seem like eternal hell. Study hard and kick ass on those finals because that means that Winter Break is only a week away! Good Luck!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
