Game Of Thrones Does College Finals

The World Of Westeros Isn't So Far Away From The World Of Finals On College Campuses

Apr 25, 2016

As students begin gearing up for finals, the world of college becomes more and more like the world of "Game of Thrones." Tensions are high and you can smell the stress in the spring air, it's finals time on college campuses and if you ask any of the Northerners what's going on they'll surely tell you, "finals are coming."

You will have to guard your spot in the library like its Winterfell in Season 3.

During finals not only do you live, breathe, and eat in the library, but you're also responsible for guarding your spot from desperate peers looking for that perfect cubby to review Chemistry notes in for six hours a day. Remember- a Sociology major always pays their debts.

You will have to watch as your friends go out without you.

There comes a time in every college students life when they must allow their friends to go out without them. When the time comes just remember- you can always drink at your desk.

You will have to do battle with your school's printers.

There's no such thing as a reliable printer in college- especially during finals. Make sure to print out your essays at least a day before it's due. No one wants to pull a Dornish terror scream in public at 8:30 in the morning.

You will be tempted to give up completely and walk into the flames of destiny.

Finals is a challenging time for all college students but do not give up. Get organized, get a snack and get your life together. The Khaleesi would be proud.

You will have to prove yourself to older, wiser TAs.

If they weren't know-it-alls they wouldn't be TAs. Just remember that when your struggling through finals your TAs will be there for some extra guidance.

You will eventually get through the Game of Thrones- I mean- finals.

Like all things (shoutout to 7 seasons of GoT), finals will end. As long as you keep your act together, study and never EVER trust Littlfinger, you will make it out alive and possibly do so in front of a dramatic explosion.

Finals are hard and medieval political intrigue is too, but with the right attitude and the right HBO subscription, you will survive.

Do whatever it takes to get through finals, but under no circumstances become a Joffery. No one likes a Joffery.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.
