Flu season? Nothing compared to the grind that is finals season. Also, I'm writing this at 2:30 AM.

1. I took finals in high school...it should be the same

LOL. LOL. LOL. It is not the same. Finals may have been a week or so in high school, but in college it seems to last for a whole month. You may think this gives you more time to study but it does not because your professor will probably also assign a group presentation, a paper, a quiz, and and oral presentation.

2. Oh wow, finals are quickly approaching

It seems like we just got back from Thanksgiving break. Now all of a sudden you have finals NEXT WEEK. How did this happen.

3.  How do I even study for this

It somehow seems though your teachers all assume that theirs is the only class you have to study. Sometimes you actually feel guilty.

4. Okay, maybe I can move into the library

The library has a coffee shop, and heating. SO basically you can just live there.

5. Netflix?

Sometimes, you get too overwhelmed and decide to watch The Office instead. Then you go into panic mode.

6. AHHH cramming.

You know you probably shouldn't stay up until 4 am but it doesn't feel like finals week unless you do.

7. During the final 

Okay its definitely A, or B, maybe C ..AHHH.

8. Post final relief 

and then more pre final stress for the next final.

Ready. Set. FINALS.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
