The 23 Stages of the End of Your Semester as Told by Elle Woods

Elle Woods is a woman after my own heart. She's a sorority girl who works hard, advocates for what she believes in, believes in love, and values her blonde hair. After re-watching "Legally Blonde" I realized that Elle tells the story of all of us during the final weeks of school.



1. When you spend time relaxing and thinking about the summer and your biggest concern is getting the bikini body you swore you were going to have by now.



.




Which was like, kind of a problem, but one that you can handle with a detox and self will.



2. When you make a ton of plans with your friends about all of the things you're going to do this summer.


See: beach drinking, rooftop drinking, porch drinking, etc.



3. When you realize you still have four weeks of school left.




I'm sorry, but that's like so rude.



4. When your professor asks if you would rather take a test or give a formal presentation.




So many pros and cons. Basically picking between a yellow drop waist dress and an army green prom gown.



5. When you ignore class readings for more exciting reading material.




"14 Tips to Catch His Attention" is way better than reading "The Waste Land."



6. When someone tells you to lower your expectations because they know you've been slacking all semester.



Please, don't doubt me. I turned my brassy roots platinum. I can handle anything.


7. When you start taking your class material with you to study literally everywhere because you're actually getting a little nervous.




"I'll show you how smart I am!"


9. When you get to a point in your professor's lecture where you completely disagree with everything out of both truth and angst.




This is stupid. This makes no sense. You make no sense.



10. When you try to reason your way through a problem that was in the study material with literally anything you can and realize you're slowly losing your shit.



I will make anything make sense.



11. When you get really emotional about all the work that you've done that you're ready to throw in the towel.



I can't do this anymore. I just can't.

12. And then you're ready to give up on being a student all together.


Maybe those dance classes will come in handy after all.


13. When you literally just feel like...

Enough said.



14. When you mourn the loss of your motivation by binge watching Netflix and binge eating chocolate.

I'm not doing anything that requires real pants.



15. When you decide to actually get your shit together.



All while wearing an outfit that looks this cute.

16. And you're stuck inside studying instead of going to the totally Instagram-worthy party.



And I totally had an amazing captain ready too.






17. ...And actually decide to go to the library.


Gag.



18. When you actually see light at the end of the tunnel and start gaining your confidence back.




I feel like the train in "The Little Engine that Could" .





19. When you review again the night before the test while trying not to have an emotional breakdown.





I won't freak out. I won't freak out.


20. When you try to do anything extra you can to sway your professor into giving you a higher grade.

Including adding hearts as dots over all of the i's.


21. When you actually take the test with a lucky pen.





Probably with lucky underwear on too.


22. When you get your grade back and you totally nail it.


GO ME!


23. Because, duh.





Keep your eyes on the prize, gorgeous.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
