Finals Week Told By Amy Schumer

The things we do and the thoughts we have all during this awful survival mode

Finals Week Told By Amy Schumer

It’s hell week. The week where every teacher decides to assign final projects, presentations, and study guides longer than your term papers throughout the semester.

You have to relearn all the notes and previous tests you took for each class in the matter of one week or less! If you're not studying, having mental breakdowns every couple hours, and googling what jobs you can have after you fail out of college, then you don't truly have finals week. It’s true hell that we’ve all experienced even Amy Schumer.

When you thought you were done doing busy work for your 2 easy classes but the teacher decides to add a final presentation in addition to a final exam 2 weeks before classes are done.

You take time intervals at the library to give yourself a break from staring at your computer screen for more than 4 hours at a time but your brain is still fried.

The reason your backpack is so heavy is that of all the snacks you packed to have for when the stress hungry comes.

Winter break feels so close but you still have 5 days of constant projects and studying and stress and you just want to be home with your pets, homemade food, and no responsibilities.

You go to office hours every day for a different professor and they all tell you, that you need a perfect score on your final to keep up your already perfect grade and that you have the chance to do better.

You reach the next level to hell week where you’ve done everything you can do and it’s not going to get better so you just hit submit and hope for the best.

You realize for some classes you can get a D on the final and still get an A in the class

You get assigned a group project for the final and you’re paired with people who don’t do anything so you have to do all the work.

Then they all try to explain why they couldn’t meet or take 30 minutes to do one slide

You have to try to explain to your roommates why you’re taking a 30-minute nap at 5:30 pm before going back to the library and why you stress ate her peppermint Luna bars.

You tell yourself a 20-minute Netflix break watching FRIENDS will cheer you up but you have to restrain from watching more than 10 episodes that make you feel better about knowing nothing.

It’s the middle of hell week and you don’t know what day it is

Then you forget to turn in an assignment

When even the fashion majors are bumming it to class because life is just too much

Your professor says the final is cumulative, it’s the last day to study and you’re ready to give up

You decide to wing your last final so you can pack, clean and relax watching Netflix so when your family sees you, you don’t look sleep-, food-, and health-, and mentally-deprived.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
