The Last Weeks Of The Semester As Told By The Grinch

Fan Pop

College is by no means easy- but the end of the semester can be especially stressful. It seems like the last few weeks of the fall semester is a mad dash to get through finals and on to the holidays. Here is an accurate depiction of what happens during the last three weeks of the semester. I hope all of you college students out there make it through another successful semester- and may the odds be ever in your favor.

1. You come back from Thanksgiving break feeling like those few days off were just a tease.

GIPHY

2. And you know the worst few weeks ahead are what stands between you and Christmas break.

GIPHY

It's fine. Everything is fine.

3. So you do everything you can to remain positive.

GIPHY

4. You begin to realize that your planner is the one key to your survival through finals, so you begin to write your life down.

GIPHY

Hmm. According to my planner I have just enough time to fit in another writer's block on this paper before the next mental breakdown.

5. You realize that you have approximately 5 tests, 4 papers, 3 presentations, 2 anxiety attacks and a partridge in a pear tree to complete- and that's all BEFORE you even get to finals week.

GIPHY

6. The hours seems like an eternity as your eyes glaze over each new study guide, and you wonder if Christmas break actually exists.

GIPHY

7. Somehow you make it through those giant assignments and tests, and you have a new outlook on life.

GIPHY

I'd like to thank my bed for always loving and supporting me, even though we haven't seen each other for a long time.

8. But then it hits you.

GIPHY

Oh CRAP....

9. Finals. You still have finals.

GIPHY

Well, there went any sanity I had left.

10. You collect yourself, and try and smile through the pain.

GIPHY

11. As Finals race closer, you try to balance studying with a little Christmas cheer.

GIPHY

12. On the eve of Finals week, you find yourself torn between feeling confident and feeling like a total failure.

GIPHY

No amount of coffee can save me now. Either I know it or I don't.

13. You walk into the first final, resembling your best attempt of being a functional human, ready to stare the test in the face and give it your best shot.

GIPHY

14. ...That wasn't as bad as I thought...

GIPHY

15. You get your grades back:

GIPHY

Maybe I won't fail out of school after all...

Congratulations, you have successfully completed another semester of college. Now, go home and relax, celebrate the holidays and enjoy your families... because in about a month we will have to come back and do it all over again! .... #college. Happy Finals!

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

tv.com

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

The Belchers hold the key to a better life.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

8 Things That Make You Feel Like You Have Your Life Together

because none of us actually do have it all together

University of Vermont

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
