10 Thoughts You Have During Finals Week

Oh, finals week... The time of eating too much and not sleeping enough-- We're all in the same stressed out boat. Whether you're in high school or college, you know the struggle is real. Here are 10 things everyone goes through during the dreaded finals week.

1. Realizing you REALLY should have written that down during lecture because you won't "just remember it"


2. Planning your night like "If I study until 11:30 I can sleep until 5:30 and get about 6 hours of sleep and then study for another two hours before class" and still being exhausted the next morning

3. Eating an entire pint of ice cream isn't that bad... right?

4. Only lightly sobbing when you see you need a 125% on your final to get your 75% in math to an A-

5. When you've been starring at a blank page for an hour attempting to type a 12-page paper, trying to convince yourself not to drop out now

6. Reading the same sentence over and over again and not comprehending it because you're so. damn. tired.

7. Walking out of the library thinking it's 9pm but its 2am

8. Emailing professors subtly begging for any point of extra credit they can offer

9. Complaining to everyone about how you don't want to be studying and just want sleep

10. That glorious moment when you finally finish and you're able to lay in bed and relax. But then realize you completely forgot to do something, but you're too tired to care.

Even though finals are a complete struggle bus, we all get through it someway or another. Eat all of the ice cream and drink all of the coffee you want, and just know in a week you'll be free to sleep in until noon again. Best of luck on all of your finals!

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
