Not all heroes wear capes

A guide To Finals Week (As Told By The Avengers)

In honor of the end of Finals Week, it only makes sense that we devote a small tribute to the terrors of collegiate year-ends with some of the toughest heroes of them all. Without further ado, here's Finals Week as told by the Avengers!

1. When you reunite with your friends after Thanksgiving Break

2. Then suddenly you realize exactly how much you have to study for in the next two weeks

3. So naturally you get together with your friends for some late night study sessions

3. Of course, there's always that one person who has their life together (and you don't quite know how)

4. Then they try to explain their method to you but you wish they'd just stop

5. At some point, you hit a barrier where you just want the whole ordeal to be over

6. And then you hit another barrier where none of you can focus for more than 3 seconds at a time

7. Eventually you decide that it's a hopeless cause anyway, so you just head to bed

8. You wake up the following morning with an overwhelming sense of dread

9. But deep down you still want to make a grand entrance because you're almost done

10. You can't help but hope that your cram session actually made some kind of difference

11. But it's hard to remain hopeful when you get stuck on the first question

12. Meanwhile, you notice that one show-off in the class already turning his test in

13. There's an incredible leap of joy as you finally see a question you can answer

14. Which only lasts until you're staring at the test and wondering whether or not you should turn it in

15. You walk out with what can only be described as "mixed" feelings

16. On your way out of the room, the professor may ask if you want to see your results

17. Which of course prompts the know-it-all to remind you exactly well he scored

18. Meanwhile, your friends back in high school are constantly asking how Finals Week is going

19. And your college friends are all debating who had the worst experience of the day

20. But then you realize you're only through the first day of a very, very long week

21. So you push through the next few days, knowing that it will all be worth it when you see your friends and family again

22. Just hold out a few more days and it will all be worth it

23. Just maybe after a very long nap

24. And a lot of pep talks

25. And probably some sorting through your emotions

26. But despite everything else going wrong, you're determined to keep going

27. Because no matter how hard it gets


28. The worst is behind you

29. And because no matter what happens

30. You can get through it, and that's all that matters

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
