The 10 Struggle Of Finals Week, As Told By Beyoncé

Oh, finals week, every college student's least favorite and most stressful time of year. Us college students spend countless hours studying for our cumulative exams and spend whatever free time we have either crying or catching up on sleep. However, once the exams are said and done it means that we're finally free from our academic responsibilities for the next few months. I know most of us are starting to freak out about this upcoming week from hell but don't stress because you're not alone. Here to help us get through all this confusion is the one and only Beyoncé.

1. When your professor announces that the final is cumulative


"What do you mean, the final is cumulative? We learned that material like two thousand years ago, there's no way I'm going to be able to remember everything."

2. So you start studying but give up in about five minutes


"Wait, no I can do this. Come on, this is my chance to bring up my GPA. Let's do it."

*Looks at first page of review sheet*

"Well, at least I tried."

3. And someone says you're overreacting about your studies


"Not everyone is as smart as you."

4. You head to the library to find other people in your class


"Hi, I know I have never talked to you before but you always know whats going on during class and I was wondering if you would possibly be interested in taking my final for me? Okay, thanks! You're the best."

5. But still all you wanna do is sleep and eat your feelings


"You can sleep when you're dead. Food is temporary. A GPA is forever."

6. After a solid few days of studying you finally feel like you understand everything


"Yassss, let's do it."

7. During your exam, you try your best not to blank


"Oh god no, don't you dare forget this. NO NO NO NO NO."

8. Two hours later you hand in your exam and walk out of the classroom like:


"Bye! See you never!"

9. And you meet up with your squad to celebrate the semester being over


*blasts music and eats body weight in ice cream*

10. Only to see your final grades posted on Blackboard


"Oh dear God, what happened?"

I mean, hey, there is always next semester, right? Or you could always take an online course. Hang in there, fellow students. You're almost done.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
