An Open Letter To Finals Week

The Week From Hell!

Now that finals are finally over I can write this without crying.

Dear Finals Week,

I hate you so much.

I don't sleep. I barley eat. And worst of all everyday of that week I look like a hobo.

I just don't understand why you hate college students so much. You come like tidal wave. You just take us, push us down, and tear us apart. You just love to destroy us. You just come so quickly and all of us know it is coming but we can never prepare enough.

It seems just like yesterday it was week 1 and we were just going through the syllabus thinking about how awesome this semester/quarter will be. We all have motivation to do our work and we are kicking butt at our classes.

Then before we know it the end is near. We are hating this semester/quarter. We have no motivation. We are worried about our GPA's. And worst of all instead of us kicking this semester/quarter butt, this semester/quarter is kicking our butt.

You make me question everything that I am doing with my life. You make me question weather or not I can do it. Everyday during this week you make me debate about just dropping out of college and becoming a stripper. (I swear I actually won't do it. Don't worry mom and dad.)

Us college kids become in love coffee, red bull. Anything caffeinated will become our best friend. We all stay at the school/library until we get kicked out. We daydream about being in our beds again. We forget what sleep is. We all look like hobos.

Why do you do this to us Finals Week? WHY?

I spend so much money on red bull and coffee that by the end of the week I have no money to go out and buy food. I drink so much red bull and coffee that next week I am on break I am having caffeine withdrawals.

During finals week I stay more at the school than I do at more. I think they just need to have dorms like in the school. Not by the school but in the school.

Whenever I forget what sleep is. I just go to school thinking about how I can not wait to go home and go to bed. Like as soon as I get to school I want to go home and sleep more.

You can tell it is finals week at college because everyone is on t-shirts, sweat pants and sneakers. The girls have no make up and have their up while the guys have really messy hair. And everyone has huge dark circles under their eyes and a look of like, "Help Me! I need sleep."

I don't think I could ever express how much I hate finals week. But this can about sum it up. So hey Finals Week the next time you come around can you not be so mean and harsh. If not just don't even bother coming back.

Sincerly,
All The College Kids

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
