Finals Week- Fact vs. Myth

It's finals week, my first of many. In high school finals week was really the only week I actually did work. I remember hearing about finals week in college... sadly most of the horror stories are true, however not all of them. So here's a nice little list of the myths of finals week, and the facts. Enjoy (:

P.S. This post is meant to be funny, don't take it too seriously, but feel free to add onto the list in the comment section

WHAT YOU'VE HEARD: 

• You'll have to pull all nighters


• If you fail your final, you'll fail your class


• 24/7 quiet hours


• No one parties


• The library is packed


• People sleep in weird places, like in their cars, in the library, at starbucks, etc


• You'll forget to eat due to studying


• You have to study 24-7


• You wake up feeling hungover because you studied so hard


• Everyone looks like zombies


• Most finals are not curved


• There will be questions on the final about things you don't even remember learning


• You have to make up for slacking the first half of the semester by getting a good grade on your final


• It seems like everyone is on Adderall


• Starbucks and other coffee shops will have extended hours


• You'll spend more money on food and coffee than the rest of semester combined


• You will find the most creative ways to procrastinate then you ever had in your entire life


• Makeup is no longer existent for the female population


• Almost everyone walks around in sweats or pajamas


• You'll probably pretend to be productive and calculate how badly you can do on the test to pass the class


• Panic.


• You will get weird cramps from looking down at your notes, typing on your computer, or laying in strange positions to read your books


• The final will be nothing like the midterm


• Most of you will accept the fact that you will fail, and will then fall into a comfortable feeling of complete defeat


• Netflix.


• This week will probably be the first time you open your $500 textbook

MYTHS:

• Sadly, these are all true. You basically will hate your life- you might as well know the truth so it won't be as much of a shock when it happens.

GOOD LUCK ON FINALS EVERYONE!

Zombie Apocalypse Plan

So my family and I are total nerds and after watching way too many movies and shows we started talking about what we would do when the zombies attack. This plan is, in my opinion, well thought out and hopefully we won't die. There's a lot of parts so i'm just going to number it off in the order of how we would get it done. Please, point out flaws in our plan! We think of it as a game and we'd love feedback!! Thanks!

1. Gather supplies and find a huge car (something like a truck, hummer, or maybe a tank!)


2. Head towards the forest! We want somewhere kind of warm- some place where weather isn't a huge factor.


3. Store food and water, make a way to capture water when it rains.


4. Start Building in the trees. The first few weeks we are there we will build a small simple shelter where we can live. It'll be like a large tree house.


5. As time goes on we can build more houses and bridges to connect the trees.


6. Add camouflage and traps around the tree bases, to make sure anyone attempting to climb the tree will be heard.


7. Start building planters and gardens in the trees so that we can produce food for ourselves.


8. Create a small community of people who are connected by bridges. Make sure everyone has different jobs to stay safe and healthy.


9. Build a huge area in the center of the community where it is completely surrounded by walls made of strong materials, this will be used for fire, it won't catch the tree houses on fire but we won't be out in the open with the zombies.

So that's our plan so far! We have a lot to add and stuff but we find it hilarious and practical (:

People you'll meet in college

When you move to college one of the most amazing parts are the people, you meet hundreds of people in a matter of a few days, then you spend the next few weeks sifting through picking who your close friends are and who you want to steer clear from. This is my very opinionated and sarcastic list of the types of people you'll meet in college. (Please don't take it too seriously it's a joke and just for fun, none of these personalities are based on specific people).

(In progress)

1. "Stuck in HS": This guy either loved high school and was king of the school, or he hated it and wants everyone to think he was king of the school. He'll constantly talk about his high school sport teams and tell you all about his "glory days". You'll be nice at first, then after a few weeks you'll decide to find some other folks to hangout with.


2. "Stupid Major": This guy thinks that their major is the best there is, and that no matter what, every job will just be dying to hire them. But you know that their major is probably going to just put them in debt with a job they would've gotten in middle school. They're nice and fun but after hearing them nag about your major and them bragging about their future, you won't be able to handle it anymore.


3. "Spoiled Brat": Their parents are paying for EVERYTHING, they get sent new clothes every few weeks, fly out to visit family once a month and are constantly complaining about how little they have. They've never worked a day in their life and expect everyone to cater to their needs (*Warning* This may also be known as "The Single Child"). It's all fine until you have to be paired up with them for group projects and they try to give you all the work. These guys aren't going to make it in the real world without their mom and dad.


4. "Bitchy McBitch": She might be your friend's girlfriend, a roommate or just some girl, but for no reason what-so-ever, she hates you. She gives you dirty looks, she'll throw in some rude comments here and there, and everyone else (especially boys) seem to adore her. Why? No one knows. You can't even talk bad about her because everyone loves her but you. She's a backstabbing bitch and there's nothing you can do about it.


5. "Semi-Normal": They're funny, laid back, get their work done, and overall are normal people. The only problem is, because they're average, you can never really get super close with them. They usually group together but you're not exactly sure who they really hangout with.


6. "Frat Guys/ Sorority Girls": They're not as bad as you think, some of them are nice, sweet people.... during the day. But come on folks, when you have 200+ women in one house, there are bound to be bitches, whores, and crazy people. And guys- they just want to drink and hookup. You can be friends, or even be one of these guys, just don't let the classic stereotypes come back to get you, stay true to yourself. (These are the guys you want to party with, if that's your scene).

Help me add to the list! Leave some suggestions in the comments!
