10 Stages of Finals Week

Finals week - the bane of every college student's existence. We've all been through it, and breaking down your days is incredibly key. Here's a guide to getting through finals, in stages.


1. Plan out your days accordingly.

Class from 7:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Grab snacks from room 1:05.

Go to lib from 1:05 to 5.

Coffee break 2:50 to 3.

Cry on couch in lib 3:45.

Go eat the feelings 5:05 to 5:45.

Go back to the lib 5:50 to 12 a.m.

Go to dorm 12:05 a.m.

Cry in shower 12:10 a.m.

Watch Netflix 12:30 a.m. to 1:15 a.m.

Cry yourself to sleep 1:20 a.m.

2. Plan out the ways you can support yourself if you drop out of college.

Lets face it, at least once a day you consider dropping out of school and becoming a stripper; it's just a right of passage

3.Cry everywhere and anywhere.

No one will judge you; they feel the same way and might even join you

4. Call om and have a mental breakdown at least once a day.

Why did you let me leave home and try to be an adult? I don’t like it and I no longer want to do it. Help me.

5. Finals week is full of sleep-deprived students suffering from caffeine withdrawals.

Someone is sleeping in the hallway of the classroom building? Not weird. That person fell asleep while eating their dinner? Wow, I am jealous; that’s a good way to go down.

6.Your professors have no sympathy for you.

They know that you tried to save your grades last minute, they know you haven’t slept in days, they even know that you’re probably only alive because of the masses of caffeine in your veins, but they do not care. They are just as ready to get to summer as you are, and will have no mercy when it comes to getting that much-needed break from you fools.

7. You think the final is easy until you...

…turn to the second page and I promise you will lose all of that confidence. No, professor, this question was not on your study guide and I have no idea what I am doing. You think you have that question, then go to the next one and realize, hahaha, yeah, no, you really have no idea when you were taught this.

8. You don't like coffee? Well, finals week will change that.

When I went away to school I absolutely hated the taste of coffee. I now probably consist of 75 percent coffee and 25 percent blood.

9. Remember, "Cs get degrees."

Probably not the smartest strategy, but hey, it works.

10. There is no greater feeling than walking out of your last final.

Tears of joy are streaming from your eyes because you know you get to sleep again and don’t have to worry about school for a while … but let's be real, by the time you recover from finals it will be time to start the finals process all over again.

Happy finals week, and may the curve be ever in your favor!

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
