The End Of School Summed Up By 'The Princess Bride'

As the school year comes to an end, it seems that our mental stability does as well. It becomes a constant battle between stressing, nostalgia and anticipation. "The Princess Bride" best sums up the events that occur during the last few weeks before summer vacation.

1. How you spend the weekend of finals:

2. Questioning the effects of your sixth cup of coffee:

3. Seeing all the posts from friends who are already finished:


4. Filling out a teacher evaluation when you learned nothing but the professor was nice:

5. Following every one of your professor's dumb rules for the sake of your GPA:

6. When your professor says that the final page requirement is 10 when it clearly says 5 on the syllabus:

7. Taking on the responsibility of warning all high schoolers what college is actually about:

8. Finding out an exam is cumulative and there's no curve:

9. Presenting on an insanely broad topic in under ten minutes:

10. Justifying why your ten minute break became an hour and ten minutes on Pinterest:


11. Telling yourself that there is no reason to violate your bedtime even though you need to study:

12. When everyone gets lectured on how terrible the class average was for the last exam:

13. Keeping in mind that no multiple-choice question is not a trick question:

14. Taking an exam and not even knowing what the question is asking:

15. Finally having enough of that one person in discussion:

16. Wanting to be done before you even started filling in answers:

17. Everyone who isn't in school when you say college is hard:

18. Doing way better in a class than you originally thought:

19. Explaining why you can't have a social life at the moment:

20. Waking up after what was supposed to be a twenty-minute nap:

21. The only appropriate response to give someone who finished the year with a 4.0:

22. When both you and your roommate both get moody because your food source is depleted:

23. What the education system is really telling you:

24. Yet you're not ready to say goodbye when it's time to turn in your room key:

25. You keep getting really sentimental with your roommate but promise that they haven't seen the last of you:

26. In the end all you can do is accept that the year is over and wish everyone an eventful summer:

You're almost done. Stay strong.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
