Some of the people who clicked this link are thinking, "Who loves finals week? Nerds?" And then there are others who clicked this link that are thinking, "Wow, what a nerdy Odyssey writer."

But it's true, I love finals week, and I know that, secretly, there are other finals lovers out there. Students who become low key hyped when the weeks wind down on the syllabus and Quizlet sets start being created.

Putting aside the stresses of finals week, there are many perks that make the last week of the semester rival the first. First, the augmented class schedule. Instead of sitting in class every single day of the school week, students only have to sit in class to take their tests. This cuts back almost more than half of the time spent in the classroom a week!

For students that know how to manage their time, the lax schedule of finals week creates more time to hang out with friends or watch a good Netflix series. Finals week lets you create your own schedule. If you're a night owl, stay up late studying and sleep all day, no judgement. If you're an early bird, wake up early to study and go out all night! No one questions any motives.

Finals week also lets you consume a mass amount of caffeine. For all of the coffee fans out there (i.e. the Lorelai Gilmores of the world) this means that you can enjoy steamy beverages whenever you want, and people will just assume you have something important to do -- be it packing or studying.

Finally, finals week allows the students on campus to become nostalgic. For some reason, no one seems to appreciate their university as much until the last week of school. The brink of leaving the place you've called home for the past nine months really brings out the Kim Kardashian-style tears. But this also allows you to understand and appreciate the friends, memories and places that make your school special.

So appreciate the stress and reap the benefits of finals week, because after the week is over? You won't have to sit in another classroom for at least another four months.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
