The Most Relatable Moments From The Last Week Of Classes, In The Wise Words Of 'Gilmore Girls'

"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.

Giphy

"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

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
