10 Things To Look Forward To After Finals Week

Think Tank Learning

Alrighty college students. It's not only almost the most wonderful time of the year: it's almost hell week. That's right, the dreaded week of finals *dun dun dun!*. However, in light of the most dreaded time of the semester, I have compromised a list of positive things to look at in light of all the hustle and bustle.

1. BABY SEAL!

Just because this was a good way to start off the list.

2. Going Home!

Seeing all of your family members, getting to eat all of the food, cuddling with your pets, and seeing old friends!

3. Never Having To Deal With A Crappy Professor Again

Admit it: we've all had at least one professor that we cannot stand for whatever reason, be it being boring, be talking too much, or giving too many assignments.

4. Sleep In Your Own Bed

No more crappy, small beds or uncomfortable mattresses; After finals are done with, you'll be able to go home and sleep in the comfort of your own bed!

5. You'll Be Able To Shower Without Shoes On

FINALLY! I am so pumped to take a shower without freaking flip flops on!

6. No Homework For A Month!

WOO HOO!

7. CHRISTMAS!!

Hooray! Christmas songs, Christmas decorations, Christmas dinner, CHRISTMAS EVERYTHING!!!

8. New Years Eve, Too!

Find your midnight's kiss or grab a friend to hug, because 2017 is coming up quickly!

9. Catch Up With Old Friends

Enough said. Catching up with friends is one thing that I am looking forward to, especially after going through this week!

10. Travel!

Whether you're going away or just cruising around your hometown, the holiday bustle wouldn't be the same with going to your favorite places (Grandma's house included).

With this, I promise that these hard times will end soon, and we will persevere! There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
