Navigating College Finals

Argh! Not again!

Navigating College Finals

With finals around the corner, you are wrong for taking off your time to read this. Nonetheless, I should probably teach you something in exchange for your time. Did you know that twenty percent of office mugs contain fecal matter?

Twenty percent isn't a terrifyingly large percentage, but if twenty percent of people died bungee jumping, I wouldn't go. I'm not saying that people die from ingesting fecal matter – they don't. There is actually a fecal transplant used to treat C. difficile colitis, but I still don't think your fecal matter is FDA approved. Yeah, our immune systems are strong enough to fight a little bacteria, and babies often do eat fecal matter. But the thought of ever having fecal matter enter my mouth is enough to stop me from ever touching an office coffee mug to my mouth (#LoveYourself). But I wouldn't be so rude as to judge your level of hygiene!

Anyways, finals is a stressful time. Mainly because it's the point of the semester where you realize that you know absolutely nothing from the entire semester, and are about to be tested on it all. So first you internally freak out, then you call (or probably text) your friend and freak out together, then you try to figure out the bare minimum that you can still do to somehow get an A in that class, then you start to evaluate your superpowers as you chart how detrimental no food and sleep is for a week, and then you finally become more religious and start begging G-d. But who are we fooling? You're in college and aren't exactly the next Mother Teresa. So you decide to only sleep 3 hours a night (because you've evaluated this to be one of your superpowers). Before you know it, you're fast asleep...

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
