10 End Of Semester Reactions Told By 'Friends' Characters

In This Article:

Tis' the season for forgotten due dates and giving assignments the ole' college before heading home for break. We are stressed, we are tired, we are hungry, just want to go home and our favorite "Friends" characters have the perfect reactions.

1. When your professor changes a project due date without updating the syllabus 

Giphy

You've gone to every class and taken every note possible. But for some reason, your professor swears they told the class about a change in the syllabus.

2. Sitting through a class where your professor "teaches" by reading word for word from the powerpoint for the millionth time

Giphy

It is no surprise the professor is back at it again reading word for word off the Powerpoint slides with a million words on each slide. Did we expect something different? No, but we can still have hopes.

3. You finally get hit with the campus plague 

Giphy

You've tried to avoid your campus's rapidly-spreading cold, but you were unsuccessful. Congratulations, you are now the kid in class who never stops coughing and sniffling.

4. Avoiding everything by getting coffee

Giphy

You can tell yourself all you want that you're going to actually sit down and study.. until someone suggests getting coffee. All bets are officially off.

5. Your professor says your final isn't cumulative, there will be a curve, and they are dropping your lowest quiz grade

Giphy

These types of professors are rare to find while in college, but believe there are still kind souls out there. Be thankful and don't do anything to risk the professor changing their mind.

6. When you see someone having their third breakdown in the library during finals week 

Giphy

You are practically living in the library to study. Maybe, just maybe, you're on the "no talking" floor. But you see a lonely soul in the middle of their third breakdown. Just go ask if they're okay.

7. You haven't eaten, slept, studied, and you're running purely on high hopes and three coffees

Giphy

You're using all your strength to hold back the tears. You're not sure if they're because you're sleep deprived, hungry, or stressed to the max. But it is FINE. You're doing great!

8. Waiting until the night before to study for an exam

Giphy

Let's face it, if you don't know it while you're studying the night before, you probably won't remember it in six hours for the exam. Good luck, and do a full send.

9. "Sorry, you don't have anymore flex left."

Giphy

You've finally run out of flex dollars, and we all feel for you. Just hold out a little bit longer until you're home and maybe you'll find some money you forgot about!

10. Bye-bye school, hello home-cooked meals

Giphy

Not that you don't love waiting in line for sub-par pizza slices practically every day, but you are finally home and can snack and relax all you want. You finally finished the semester, and you don't have to see another textbook for a month. Enjoy it because you deserve it!

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
