The End Of Fall Semester As Told By Blair Waldorf

Because nothing says "finals are almost upon us" like a Blair Waldorf eye roll.

It's toward the end of most colleges' fall semester and, let's be honest with ourselves, we've all pretty much given up. Considering the amount of stress that the end of the semester brings, what with trying to maintain good grades and bring up bad ones, cramming for multiple exams and trying to finish papers and projects for almost every class, we're all kind of doomed. Tack on the several extracurricular activities we're all involved in and the fact that we're collectively exhausted enough to actually hibernate this winter and you'll get a true sense of what being a college student at this time of the year is really like. We all have our coping mechanisms, most of them involving Netflix, because why worry about tomorrow when you can binge watch your favorite series today? My personal favorite at the moment is Gossip Girl, so I figured why not combine my own personal end-of-the-semester dread with the expressive eye rolls and dramatic sighs of Blair Waldorf? I sincerely hope you enjoy wasting time that you could be spending getting work done laughing at these memes and gifs. You're welcome, in advance.

7. When someone tries to convince you that they're more stressed than you are.



8. When someone humble brags about getting an adequate amount of sleep and you got less than an hour last night.


9. When someone cute passes you in the library, but you haven't washed your hair in two weeks and the bags under your eyes are bigger than the textbook you're reading.

10. When your professor sets the exam time for 7:30 AM.

11. When someone's lack of effort on a group project could bring down your grade right before the semester ends.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
