10 Times Cristina Yang Accurately Explained Finals Week

As college kids getting ready to dip for summer break and spend a glorious three months on a beach somewhere in SoCal, there's just one thing left to do- finals.

*Cringe*

Finals are the bane of every college kid's existence and they always produce so much stress during the last week of school. Students from all majors study for days to make sure they don't flunk the last exams and final projects worth 30% of their overall grade. As we prepare to walk to class, sit down, and take the final that will make or break our grade, the same thoughts pop into each of our heads- an inner dialogue that inevitably happens every year we have to go through this pain again. Thoughts perfectly expressed by none other than Cristina Yang of Grey's Anatomy.

1. Ughhhh, chem final in an hour... stupid finals.

...said as we reluctantly roll out of bed, start getting ready, and open up our notebooks for a last minute study sesh.

2. I wonder if she'll just let me skip the exam if I look depressed enough?

...said as we start the journey to class, working on our best sad puppy dog face for the professor when we walk in.

3. Did she really just tell me I look like death?

...said as we enter the classroom and sit down- coffee in hand, bags under our eyes.

4. We only have 10 minutes to study before it starts, SO WHY ARE WE ALL TALKING, PEOPLE?!

...said as we inwardly scream, frantically pour over our notes, and look up at the professor pointing to the clock.

5. Oh no... did I say that out loud?

...said as we nervously chuckle, swallow, and avert our eyes from the rest of the class who is now giving us a death glare.

6. Will she care if I eat during this?... Ehh YOLO.

...said as the exams are handed out and we slowly open the bag of Hot Cheetos we brought for brain food.

7. Oh, there's an essay worth a grand total of 5 points? Haha. As if.

...said as we finish the multiple choice and scan down the paper to the essay section, trying not to get Cheeto powder all over the exam.

8. Wait, WORTH 50 POINTS?

...said as we do a double take and tears begin to form in our eyes, while we start writing our little hearts out.

9. AND THERE'S A BACK PAGE?!

...said as we scrunch our face up so as not to cry and prepare to tough it out all the way to the end.

10. Oh, thank God it's over... I need a hug.

...said as we turn the final in, rub our eyes, take a huge breath, and leave... until the next final in half an hour.

Finals are rough, my friends, but Cristina Yang survived through all her seasons on Grey's and you can survive through finals week.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
