Twas The Night Before Finals
WriteMyEssay

Twas the night before finals, and all through the night, he was procrastinating; dreading daylight.

No writing had been done for he did not care, in hopes that somehow college would no longer be there.

When all of a sudden, a clock did chime. It was 5AM and he would never write his 30-page essay on time!

He opened his laptop and feverishly did write, why the heck hadn't he done this earlier? He had had all night!

In two hours his paper was finished and all hope of graduating had long since vanished.

He tiredly dressed and got to campus last, and with a tear in his eye, handed the stack over without daring to look at the class.

For two long weeks he did wait, for the dreaded news of his terrible fate.

' Summer classes aren't for me!' He thought. But the more he thought the worse it got.

The report finally arrived in the mail, and he didn't open it for fear he'd failed.

Two weeks later he built up the strength, and opened the envelope with an amount of time that could've been measured in length.

When he finally opened his eyes, he could not believe the sight; he had gotten an A+! ... 'WAKE UP! WHAT WERE YOU DOING ALL NIGHT?'

'I got an A+ on my paper!' he screamed. But all his roommate did was laugh. All he had thought was real, he had dreamed.

It was finals day with no essay written, and he was creamed.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

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.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

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.
