The Last Two Weeks Of The Semester, Told By Buddy The Elf

December has finally arrived — fashionable winter scarves are broken out, anywhere and everywhere is a sea of green and red, and Christmas music is [finally] accepted to be played on a daily basis for the next several weeks. Although most of us would love to be curled up in a ball on the couch watching Christmas movies in our pajamas and drinking hot chocolate, one thing stands in the way for college students: the end of the semester. The two week period between Thanksgiving and Christmas break is a harder hump to get over than your typical Wednesday. Let this list of Elf GIFs get you through the next two weeks — you can do it!

Me: Break was nice, but I'm excited to be back and go out with friends.
Homework:

OMG IT'S FINALLY DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll put up a few decorations as a little study break.

Me: Wait, so what do I need to study for this final?
Prof: Everything is in the study guide.

Me: I can't afford any distractions from studying. I have to stay in.

Friend: The first snowball fight of the year's happening now!

Me:

Friends: Let's grab a small bite to eat at the dining hall before studying.
Me:

Me: I seriously have to stay in and study.

Friends: But it's our last weekend to go out... just one drink?
Me after more than one:

Me: I should have studied more, but it's ok since it's not cumulative.
Friend: No, it's cumulative...
Me:

Me: Alright, I'm ready to kick this final's ass.
First exam question:

Roommate: Have you left the room at all this week?
Me: No, I've been studying. Why?
Roommate:

Friend: I only had one final on Monday! I get to go home early!!!
Me:

Me: Anything else I need to do before I turn my final in?
Prof: That's it! Have a grea--
Me leaving my last final:

Me barely surviving the end of the semester:

Now go celebrate that well-deserved time off with a Hallmark Christmas classic and a cup of hot cocoa ;)

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

112

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Because Chandler Bing should be everyone's spirit animal.

Stetson University

Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
