Now that the final week of my first semester has FINALLY come to an end, it's time to recap the roller coaster of emotions I experienced in a matter of 7 days.

Sunday: Me when I realized that this was the last week of the semester and I had to finally do all the work I had been putting off

Life Lesson Learned: Don't Procrastinate

Monday: I sat a made a list of all of the things I needed to get done by the end of this week. After I had my list, I took out my books to study and...

Life Lesson: Preparing to do work is exhausting

Tuesday: Friend: "Hey, did you already finish that assignment due tonight?"

Haha... yeah... I finished that ages ago...

Life Lesson: ALWAYS CHECK THE SYLLABUS

Life Lesson: Stress eating is bad.

Wednesday: When I saw that my Spanish final was the same as the study guide I did at the last minute

Life Lesson: If your teacher gives you one, always do the study guide

Friends: "Do you wanna come hang out with us before everyone goes home for Winter break?"

Life Lesson: School work comes before friends, no matter how much you love them.

Thursday: When you get to leave campus and go home, but you still have a paper due

Life Lesson: Try to complete all of your work before you go home so you don't have to bring your work with you.

Friday: Family: "If you would have done your work when you were supposed to, you wouldn't have to do it over break."

Life Lesson: You don't think I know that? Just hug me, I'm struggling.

Saturday: When your least favorite professor sends out an email thanking the class for a great semester...

Life Lesson: BYE!

Sunday: When I have FINALLY completed all of my work for this semester

Life Lesson: Sleep all winter break because once you get back to school, you will be sleep deprived once again.

And that was my finals week.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
