10 Thoughts Every College Student Has During Finals Week
programminglibrarian.org

Do I dare even say the word finals? Or should I just skip past it and say they don't exist like the Boogie Man or some fictional character? But nonetheless it's too late and I've already said it so I have to stick with it. No matter what year you are, or how long you've been out of college I'm pretty sure we've all had these same thoughts during the hell of a week that's called: Finals... Bom bom bom... *queue the flash of lighting and the scary music.*

1. Oh shit, it's finals week already?

We've all had one of those 'oh shit' moments in college, but this is probably the most scariest moments.. Rather than that moment when you see your friend fall off the table because she's really had one too many drinks... and it's only 4PM.

2. What does this question even mean?!?!?! Is this even English?!?!?!

The professor might not speak English but the test is definitely written in English, but somehow it seems like Spanish or something.

3. Was this even on the study guide?!?!?

Me: Nope. Nope. Nope. This wasn't on the study guide... I can't do this. Nope. I'm done.

Kid next to me: Yeah, we learned it 2 weeks ago. Do you not remember?

4. I'm gonna start studying

That's the biggest lie ever said. We all know that's code for watching Netflix and forgetting all responsibilities.

5. What day is it?

If you're questioning this on Day 1 of Finals Week, then you're in for hell of a week. Sorry bruh.

6. Can I just drop out of college

I'll just marry well.. Or become an exotic dancer
(not a stripper, but an exotic dancer- those are more classy)

7. Why am I in college again?

Everyone says college is knowledge but is it really worth the stress, money and my social life?

8. I hate short responses

Do professors or TAs even wanna read my short answer? Or do they just wanna see if I wrote something?

9. Is it Summer yet?

Summer feels like it's millenniums away. Maybe Summer doesn't even exist... Is Summer not a season anymore?

10. That wasn't that hard....

Look at that, you made it past Finals. Now it's time to live for the summer!
