Finals Week (As Told By Lin-Manuel Miranda)

The incomparable Lin-Manuel Miranda has shot to international fame in the past year from, not only his original musicalHamilton, but also from his new movie Moana and the famed Hamilton Mixtape (which, can be confirmed, is in fact "fire", as they say). However, it's his personal Twitter account and his incredibly unique facial expressions that have made the internet fall in love with him. Here are your thoughts on finals week, as told by Lin.

1. When You Realize It's Actually Finals Week

HOW IS IT HERE ALREADY I MOVED IN LIKE THREE WEEKS AGO WHAT.

2. The Moment You Run Out Of Things To Say But You Still Have Eight Minutes Left For Your Presentation

"And uhh..... yeah..... so uh..."

3. When Your Friend Invites You To Go Out The Night Before Your Biggest Test

"Dude, are you even thinking?!?! How do you possibly have TIME for that?!"

4. When You're Halfway Through A Test And The Professor Says "Five Minutes Left!"

"Yo, wait, hold up man, you just handed us the papers...?!" (Maybe that's why Eliza asked "Why do you write like you're running out of time?")

5. "So how's that twelve page final paper going?"

The usual answer is generally either haggard silence or a pained groan.

6. When You're Trying To Study And Someone Is Being Loud

It's the library. It's two a.m. on Tuesday and no one has moved since 7 p.m. Why are they belting????????!!!?!?!?

7. When You Finally Leave The Library or Computer Lab

"A WHOLE NEW WORRRRRLLLDDDDDD!!!- Whoa its so cold out, when did it get so cold out?!"

8. Wishing Your Friend Good Luck As You Pass Each Other

You both just get it.

9. Coffee? FREE Coffee?!?!

I haven't had seven cups before 9am its fine I'm fine this is fine okay I'm not shaking you're shaking don't tell me how to survive my finals hahahaHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

10. "Uh, Sleep? Umm, I'm sorry I don't know what that is. What's That?"

Finals week, no one is familiar with that concept. 'Tis but a blissful illusion.

11. When You Roll Up To The Door Just In Time For The Final

Like sliding into home base before they catch you. You're a force to be reckoned with, my friend.

12. When You See Your Classmates *Also Studying* Across The Way

"Ayyyyyy what up you guys?- Hey, did you ever figure out the answer to number 46?"

13. When You And Your Friends Are Eating Lunch At The Same Time

I mean, usually just remembering to eat something is enough of an achievement in itself. But eating with friends makes it even better.

14. When Your Group Boutta Drop The Hottest Project Of The Semester

Is it a mixtape? Is it a presentation on the correlation of Shakespeare in film to the original live-theater format? Who knows? (Probably not the lazier half of your group, honestly.)

15. When You Have Just One. Final. Left.

*One Day More plays softly in the background, while student mutters to themselves under their breath* I am not throwin' away my shot, I am not throwing away my-

16. Walking Out Of Your Last Final Like

You are now a highly educated human. Wow. Look at you go.

17. Your Face While Waiting For Final Grades To Go Up

"Man, I just need a B+. Here we go, just a B+, let's goooooo B+!!"

and then, the greatest part of all-

18. When You Manage To Pass All Your Classes

Triumph. Pure and unadulterated triumph.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
