1. The stage where it finally hits you.

 

You were kind of unprepared with how close together all of your finals are.

 

2. The stage where you need holiday cheer.

 

Christmas is LITERALLY RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND YOU CAN’T TAKE MORE TIME TO CELEBRATE BECAUSE YOU’RE STUDYING. Like who invented this system?

 

3. The stage where you need food to survive.

 

Your diet consists of coffee… and coffee. And more coffee. Actually, you might have a pot brewing right now.

 

Just kidding. You actually eat everything in your apartment or dorm room.

 

4. The stage where you realize you don’t have to impress anyone, because we’re all in the same boat.

 

You finally have a reasonable excuse to show up to class in pajamas (mental high five, right?).

 

5. The stage where you need to study 24/7.

 

When you look up things on wikipedia… and get sucked into a research blackhole and end up reading something completely unrelated to what you actually need to study.

 

When you make a study group with your friends, but it’s actually just an unproductive hang out sessions. And you end up not getting anything done.

 

More unproductive studying occurs at home.

 

6. The stage where you’ve come to terms with your finals.

 

But really… we’re all panicking.

 

7. The stage where you have to take the final.

 

And there’s definitely some information on there that you definitely did not study.

 

8. The stage where you realize this is only fall semester.

 

But in reality, you have a few more years left. And if you’re a senior graduating, you know that master’s degree is right around the corner after graduation.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

“Sometimes you want to have a very productive Saturday to feel that you are in control of your life, which of course you are not.” -Tina Fey, Bossypants Jamie Bridenstine... How do I even begin to explain Jamie Bridenstine. Jamie Bridenstine is flawless. She has two Fendi purses and a silver Lexus. I hear her hair's insured for $10,000. I hear she does car commercials... in Japan. Her favorite movie is Varsity Blues. One time, she met John Stamos on a plane. And he told her she was pretty. One time, she punched me in the face. It was awesome. Jamie Bridenstine is a 4th year undergrad at the University of Wyoming, earning her B.A. in Communication and a minor in Military Science. Her favorite move is Mean Girls... and any movie with Tina Fey in it. She enjoys deep conversations about politics, procrastinating on group projects, and watching The Office over and over again. Jamie has the cutest dog in the world, Timber, and is ready to take on the world after college. She will be heading up to Washington after graduation to pursue her career in the military... and hopefully her graduate degree in Public Relations.
