Finals Week As Told By Spongebob Squarepants

Finals Week is finally here, time to go through the finals routine. Don't be ashamed, though. No one is exempt from the craziness that ensues. Even Spongebob knows what it's like to go through the hell that is finals.

Over the weekend, you study everything. Literally... everything. "The book was published in 1992 by..."

Until you can't study anymore. "Maybe if I hit myself enough times, the information will just leap into my brain."

You feel ready for anything. "I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready."

You're so excited just to get the test over with. "If I wait another second, I might forget everything I crammed into my mind last night."

Then you read the first question and realize you know nothing. "Did she say chapters 3 to 6 or 13 to 16?"

For the first half of the exam you don't know what to do. "If I think really hard, it will all come back to me. Any second now..."

Then, for the second half you frantically try to answer every question to the best of your dwindling ability. "If I put in lots of big words, it will look like I know what I'm talking about."

By the end of the exam, you're so unsure of your work that you consider ripping up the test and dropping out of college. "Hobo is a viable job option, right?"

Then you get to the next exam, and it happens all over again. "Maybe I should have gone to that study session earlier in the semester."

When you finally make it through the week, you feel like you can't even function. "How do you walk again?"

Now, the waiting begins. The longest days of your life are when you're waiting to find out just how bad you failed. "Did I even turn in the exam? Maybe she lost it."

You hit refresh every few seconds, waiting for grades to go live. "Maybe it's just this computer, let me try yours."

The longer it takes, the more you're convinced you failed. "That's it. I'm a failure."

You're sure you ruined any chance you had at a good future. "I'll never amount to anything!"

You start to imagine your new future. "Would you like fries with that?"

Finally, right before you've officially lost your mind, you get your grades. "Finally!"

You did it. You passed. "I knew everything would be okay."

Now, you can throw away everything you learned this semester. Just don't throw out your name. You're going to need that.

It's officially Christmas break! " I'm free!"

Until you realize you have to do it all again next semester. Eh: there will be time to worry about that later. For now, be happy you made it through the semester and enjoy your month off.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

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.
