The End of the Semester as Told by Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett and Detective Danny Williams

The spring semester has come to a close, as has season six of Hawaii Five-0. While the prospect of school being out is certainly something to be excited about during this time of the year, it also means that we have to wait until September to see more irresistible action-packed, crime-solving drama from the nation's Aloha state. To commemorate another great season of the show and express my elation with having finished another semester of my undergrad career, I've decided to retell the stages of feelings the end of the college semester through the eyes of Steve McGarrett and Danny Williams.

1. In the middle of your last class, you suddenly realize that you don't have to do this anymore.


2. When all of your classes have ended for the semester and you think you're free of all your responsibilities.


3. You finally have a few days to enjoy sleeping in.


4. Then somebody kills your mood by asking if you've started studying for your finals yet.


5. You eventually start studying, and you're looking through everything you need to know for the exam like...


6. When you need help, you ask the smartest kid in class and are blown away that he/she somehow understands every single thing.


7. You know you should spend the night studying, but your friends keep trying to convince you to go out with them instead.


8. Walking into the final thinking you're prepared like...


9. Getting stuck on a question during the final.


10. The feeling you get the very second you turn in your final exam.


11. When you just took the exam and somebody immediately asks you how it was.


12. Being pleasantly surprised when you go to check your final grades.


13.When your professor is unexpectedly generous with the curve on your grade

14. But your parents think you still could've done better


15. You start to question every life decision you've ever made and start to panic (falsely) that you'll never amount to anything


16. But the feeling finally wears off and you remember you can enjoy summer without having to worry about school for a few months.


Okay, so the school year was long and tough, but it's the best season of the year now, so live it up while it lasts!

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.
