15 Finals Week Thoughts, As Told By Friends

With Friends on Netflix, it's super hard to think about studying. When you need a break, sometimes Friends is the best time-waster. As finals draw closer, here are some thoughts on studying spaces, food, feelings and sleep.

1. Shoot, finals exist. It seemed so easy to kind of forget about them for 15 weeks.

2. I can do this. After 15 years of learning how to learn, I just need to do well on this exam. Piece of cake.

3. If I calculate my grade four times, will it change? OK, there are probably more productive things to do than checking ANGEL 20 times or making Excel spreadsheets, but procrastination is so relaxing.

4. Were conflict exam times released? Yes, yes they were. No pressure. That 8 a.m. exam, though ...

5. Everyone is so loud. Quiet hours are supposed to be a thing, right? Oops that's just a Spotify ad on the computer.

6. Time to make a D.P. Dough run ... or Insomnia order. Thank goodness for OrderUp and late night and college towns with places open until 3 a.m.

7. Nittany Notes and Lion Tutors must be making a lot of money. Granted, they don't necessarily teach you. In fact, they're pretty expensive. Still, for intro courses with 600 students, they're good at supplementing the notes and textbook. Money well spent.

8. Gosh, the library is so crowded. OK, everyone is probably a little restless after studying in their room for hours, but there are so many places to study other than the library. There seem to always be rooms in Thomas and Willard. Have you ever been to the IST bridge or any of Penn State past Atherton?

9. They redid the the HUB. I'll go there. The HUB is beautiful and a great place to meet people for McAlister's Deli, but it might not be the best place for studying. However, some of the upper floors are quite peaceful and have study spaces with outlets!!!

10. Shoot, everyone's in the HUB, too. Never mind. Someone had the same thought.

11. So tired. Someone needs to make a Finals Week Energy in addition to Fiver Hour Energy.

12. Time to get more free coffee at McClanahans. I mean, it's free. Who doesn't like free?

13. There's no way we talked about this in class. Did we even have class that day? Probably, no one was there. Besides, it's just harder to pay attention in class on a Friday.

14. So much information! Is it summer yet? That exploding-head feeling really does exist. If only no one could be aware of this exam.

15. Does anyone have a #2 pencil for the scantron? Sometimes the basics are just so hard to remember. Let's go. Time to regurgitate everything ever mentioned in class. Finals just shouldn't exist.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
