Finals are here (THIS IS NOT A DRILL!), and all the projects and papers you put off are, yes, actually due.

But just another week, and it'll all be over.

The How I Met Your Mother crew is here to give you a little preview of what you're in for.


DENIAL

"It's fine. I got this!"

Deep down, you know it's a lie, but you must convince yourself everything's peachy, so you don't hate yourself for that procrastination nap last week.

ANGER

"Why did I do this to myself?!"

You're convinced your teachers have secret meetings to personally make your life a living hell. (And you now regret that nap you took earlier.)

BARGAINING

*praying and pleading* "If I pass this final, I swear I'll never skip my 8:00 AM class for two weeks straight ever again."

You say that... until next semester.

DEPRESSION

"I'm going to fail. I know nothing. I am worthless... Do you think McDonald's is hiring?"

This depression might've been onset by the all-night study sessions and/or the diet of only coffee and early morning delivery (or you could be right). You just don't know anymore.

ACCEPTANCE

"I did all I could do. Whatever happens, happens. Here goes nothing."

This feeling comes the moment you walk into that lecture hall with your #2 pencil or submit that lengthy caffeine-fueled paper. It's done. Let come what may.


Finals challenged accepted. Wait for it... cause the weekend after is going to be LEGEN... DARY!

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

RBF, or resting b*tch face, is a serious condition that many people suffer from worldwide. Suffers are often bombarded with daily questions such as "Are you OK?" and "Why are you so mad?" If you have RBF, you've probably had numerous people tell you to "just smile!"

While this question trend can get annoying, there are a couple of pros to having RBF.

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
