When Finals Week Hit, Every College Kid Is As Shameless As Frank Gallagher

From Sunday night to the following Saturday, this week is a journey.

When Finals Week Hit, Every College Kid Is As Shameless As Frank Gallagher
Samantha Chimento

Every semester it's the same cycle: start with your nose to the grindstone and get straight A's, slowly start to fall behind in a few assignments but manage to keep your GPA up. You wind up with a C in every class but remind yourself that C's do get degrees and suddenly finals are right in front of you and you're completely out of steam. We all know that dreadful feeling. It's finals season and there's only one person that can really showcase what we're all feeling during this atrocious time: Frank Gallagher.

1. Sunday Night

When your anxiety sets in after you realize that finals are this week and you can't even remember your own name, what year it is or what school you go to.

2. Monday Morning

There's nothing like preparing for your exams with a steaming cup of anxiety and a spoonful of hopelessness.

3. Tuesday Night

At this rate, you're still cramming for your next couple of finals and can barely make sense of your notes, your professors are M.I.A. on their email and you can't decide whether to eat, study or sleep. Decisions, decisions.

4. Wednesday Afternoon

You're halfway through the week, but you're contemplating not going through with the rest of your finals because you're sick, wallowing in self-pity or have school-o-phobia. It's a real thing (with an actual scientific name), look it up.

5. Thursday Evening

When you're so close to being done with finals and you know in your heart your GPA isn't going to budge, but you still have faith, regardless.

6. Friday after your last final

You've studied for countless hours, cracked open your $200 textbook that hasn't been looked at this entire semester and filled in all the bubbles on your Scantron. Now, it's time to relax.

7. Saturday

Congratulations, you made it. Go out there and shotgun a beer with Chad from Apple Pie Theta to celebrate your success... or your failure. Either way, you took your finals and survived, and that's all that matters.

For everybody taking their finals now, or soon, good luck and go kick some ass. I believe in you and so does Frank Gallagher.

You got this!

Honorary Roommate

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
