Studying For Finals According To Rory Gilmore

It was the night before finals, professors were asleep, students were studying, and the library made a peep. I was sitting in the library, worn out and tired, when a thought struck me, oh but I was wired. Oh how I dreamed of Netflix, my bed, and food, but this psychology test really killed my mood. Rory Gilmore was right, in her practical not at all crazy ways, she understood the stress, and staying up all night. Finals week is upon us; off to the library we go, get out your coffee (pots), because sleep is a no-go.

Hope you Odyssey readers enjoyed my little poem, I really enjoyed writing it. Rory Gilmore, aka top of her class at both Chilton and Yale, understands the stress us college students go through during finals week.

When you set your priorities ahead of time:

Caring more about your studies than your appearance:


When you're just done studying:


What you look like when you walk into the dining hall after hours of studying in your room:


When making plans to go out:


When you're in the library with all the books laid out in front of you:


And trying to absorb all the knowledge from said textbooks:


When you haven't eaten in two days:

Your friends when they describe you in six words:


Looking at your schedule like:


When you reevaluate your decision to come to college like:


When someone takes your spot in the library:


When you walk out of your last final like:


Rory Gilmore fans, we can all look up to Rory Gilmore herself. We can learn from her mistakes, take a hint from her (many) successes. She stuck to her studies throughout the semester and look at where she is now: freelancing all over the world.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
