The Struggles of Finals Week According To Phoebe Buffay

"Sorry Professor I can't come to class. I broke my left phalange."

Finals week. AKA the worst week of a college student's life. It's the week where we are forced to remember content that we went over back in August when we can barely remember our own name half the times.

We sweat, cry and bleed (from all the paper cuts) and our professors don't sympathize with us. We sit in their classes staring at the SMARTBOARDS while they lecture as we are trying to get through this week from hell.

So, with the help of our wonderful, ditzy and clueless friend Phoebe Buffay, to help lighten the mood, who let's face it, probably understand the thoughts that go through our heads better than anyone else. Here are some of the struggles that every college student goes through during finals week.


1. When you begin to consider if you really need your degree.

"I mean I could start a new life. I could drop out, change my name and move to Canada."


2. When the library is filled and you need to study.

"So. I can't study in peace? UGH!!"

3. Finding out that your research paper has to be 5, not 3 pages.

"I swear it said 3 pages on the syllabus!"


4. Studying for hours and you still don't know the material.

"I'm never going to get this."

5. Looking at your grade on a practice exam.

"Oh. So you really can get a 7 on a test. Good to know!"

6. When you finally understand what you're studying.

"SEE!! I AM SMART!!"


7. Coming up with an excuse for not taking your final.

"Yeah, my friend's sister's godfather's aunt's daughter's goldfish died. It was tragic."

8. Knowing that your grades are going to be the reason why you die at a young age.

"And now I die."

9. Trying to come up with an answer on a test.


"Do they give extra credit for creativeness? "

10. When you complete that final assignment.

"WHOO HOO!! I DID IT!!"

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
