"I need caffeine. Whatever form you've got. I haven't had it all day. I'll drink it, shoot it, eat it, snort it, whatever form it's in." — Lorelai Gilmore

Somehow the last week of classes come out of nowhere and hit you like a bus. All of those assignments you looked at and said "I still have time, I'll do it later" are all due tomorrow and you have no idea how you got to this position. But what better way to alleviate stress (or increase it through procrastination) than to spend time watching "Gilmore Girls" and learning life lessons from them? You'll probably learn more from those three kick-butt women than your schoolwork, anyway, right?

1. You realize that the last week of the semester came and you have no idea how you got here.

"Hold on. I'm looking up 'aneurysm' in our medical dictionary to see if I just had one" — Emily Gilmore

2. Upon realizing the first point, you decide you need to get your life together and make a to-do list for everything you have left to do.

Giphy

"A little nervous breakdown can really work wonders for a girl." — Rory Gilmore

3. On top of all of your assignments, you're having to bake things for all of your class "end of the semester" parties.

Giphy

"And if eating cake is wrong, I don't want to be right." — Lorelai Gilmore

4. You and your friends are complaining back and forth, supporting each other in your fictitious plans to quit school and marry some prince.

Giphy

Rory: "If all else fails, you can marry rich."

Lorelai: "I love that we always have that option."

5. You start to consider drinking margaritas to make your papers more interesting.

Giphy

"The Long Island Ice Tea makes you do things you normally wouldn't do." — Lorelai

6. Your professors start telling you to make sure you sleep and you roll your eyes knowing that will never happen.

Giphy

"You have to sleep, it's what keeps you pretty." — Lorelai

7. Food and coffee become your only source of joy.

Giphy

"Everything in my life has something to do with coffee. I believe in a former life I was coffee." — Lorelai

8. Your professor reminds the class about the paper due in two days that she swears she talked about last class, but you don't remember.

Giphy

"I'm so exhausted with incompetent people, I don't know what to do anymore." — Emily

9. You and your gal pals start considering a weekend trip instead of studying.

Giphy

"People can live a hundred years without really living for a minute." — Logan

10. You remember how lucky you are to have an education.

Giphy

"I can't believe we get to sit around and talk about books and get graded." — Rory

11. You finally get serious about studying for your finals and finishing all of your assignments for the semester.

Giphy

"Coffee please, and a shot of cynicism." — Lorelai

12. You look forward to finishing up, laying in your bed, and watching Netflix for the entirety of winter break.

Giphy

"We're almost there & nowhere near it. All that matters is that we're going!" — Lorelai

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
