The Stages Of Finals

The struggle every student faces while preparing for finals.

The Stages Of Finals

It's that time of year again. Finals week has arrived. Finals can be the most stressful and frustrating time for students. A time when students are forced to lock themselves in the library and study large amounts of information for a test that determines their grades. Here is my depiction of finals week.

1. You start the week completely motivated and ready to conquer the world.

2. The first couple hours you feel incredibly productive as if nothing can stand in your way.

3. You decide to take a Netflix break to reward your productivity.

4. Then, you try to justify procrastinating even more.

5. You finally sit down to study and realize you don't remember anything from this semester.

6. You start to realize you are going to have to put in more effort than you initially intended to.

8. It's midnight and you have been studying all day.

9. You've been up an unreasonably long time and by now coffee isn't even doing the trick.

10. Walking into your first final.

11. Walking out of your first final.


12. You try to justify what just happened.

13. You come up with a speech to tell your parents if your grades don't turn out as you hoped they would.

14. That feeling you get when you complete your last final.

Good luck to everyone on finals! Go to the library, pound some coffee, and get to work!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
