With the last two weeks of school approaching and finals looming in the distance, college students stress levels have been through the roof. Packing up your room to go home while having to write three papers, take two more tests, and prepare for five finals while being in a coffee- and Red Bull-induced coma is basically how most of us are going to be spending this time. While you might feel like you are alone in the world and that you're going to die, believe me, sister, I feel the same way, and so does Michael Scott.

You decide to get ahead and start studying early and crack open your textbook, but don't know anything in it.

When you realize that you really aren't as prepared as you thought you were.

When you have to write a three-page paper on a topic that doesn't even relate to the class.

Your professor drops the lowest homework grade, but you didn't do five of them.

The whole entire day after you have been pulling all-nighters for a week straight.

When the professor says there will be a curve.

When you realize your first final is at 8 a.m. and it's the hardest one you have.

When your study break lasts for six hours and you now realize that you are six hours behind.

When your family calls to see how you are doing.

When you have lost all motivation.

When the university holds a free event with food and drinks for finals week.

When you realize that you haven't learned anything this semester.

When you're waiting for your professors to post your final grades.

When you pass.

Now it's summer! Go party!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
