The Ten Stages Of Preparing For Finals As Told by Tina Fey

Finals are rough and preparing for them is even rougher, but at least we have Tina Fey to put it all into perspective for us. 


1. You start off really confident in all the different ways you are going to study for your exams and all the awesome grades you are going to get.



2. You begin to realize that all of the notes you took throughout the semester no longer make sense, so you depend on the internet for answers.



3. Procrastination sets in and so does the need to eat everything possible.



4. You start to see all your friends who are at different schools post about how they're done with exams, and you secretly start to wish you went to their college instead.



5. You begin to study again, then realize that there's more food that needs to be eaten. 



6. You realize all the studying you'll have to do tomorrow to make up for all the procrastination you did today.



7. You finally buckle down and start to study while also going insane due to all the material you have to re-teach yourself.



8. Your classmates start to talk about how they're not worried about the final, when you stayed up all night studying for it.



9. Exam time comes and you start to accept your fate. 



10. When grades are finally posted, you realize you did better than you thought, and all those sleepless nights spent studying didn't go to waste!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
