The End Of Fall Semester As Told By Blair Waldorf

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

Blair Waldorf

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.

6. What you're dreaming about doing over winter break.

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.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
