10 Times Spongebob Accurately Described Finals Week

We've all been there.

10 Times Spongebob Accurately Described Finals Week

The last few weeks are always the hardest part of the school year, with all the projects, papers and late assignments due, it's enough to make anyone go crazy. And don't even get me started on finals! But when it's all said and done, school's done! Here are ten times that Spongebob accurately captured the hell that is finals week.

1. Waking up for your 8 a.m. final


Waking up for class in general is difficult, and most days you don't want to do it. But waking up for an 8 am final when you only on went to bed three hours ago is even more of a challenge. Sometimes the only thing motivating you is the promise of sleep when you return.

2. Stu(dent)dying

Studying is one of the hardest aspects of finals week. Having to cram a semester's worth of material, for multiple classes, is the ultimate test of endurance, and is liable to make anyone's brain snap. Even with multiple study breaks, studying is difficult, but so worth it.

3. Writing papers


If you're lucky, your final is a take-home paper. If you're not lucky, you have a paper due before you take your final exam. Regardless, writing papers isn't fun. And a majority of the time spent writing it, isn't you actually writing but staring at your computer screen blankly. Whatever your writing process is, we can all agree that we contemplate giving up more than we spend writing the paper.

4. Netflix

Netflix is a college student's worst and best friend. While Netflix is great for quick study break, here is nothing like the temptation to re-watch a show for the third time instead of writing that paper, studying or doing that project. And more often than not, you give into that temptation.

5. Trying to meet last minute deadlines

After procrastinating until the very last minute, (Thanks Netflix) you find yourself in the precarious position of having to do multiple assignments at the same time to meet all your deadlines. And you find yourself regretting all the Netflix you watched and promising not to do it again, which you ultimately won't keep.

6. Contemplating your life choices

Part of the finals week process is sitting down and calculating your grade if you don't go to your final or if you don't turn in that paper. And coming to the conclusion that it's probably in your best interest if you do.

7. Finally finishing that paper

It's three am. You've been working on this paper for eight hours. It's finally done. There is nothing to describe that feeling of absolute and total bliss. And to celebrate, you take a quick nap before your final in a couple of hours.

8. Walking into your finals like

Nothing like a final to make someone actually come to class. I don't know how many times I've walked into a finally thinking "oh my, you're in this class too."

9. Taking your finals

The time has come:time to take your final. You've been studying for this. You're prepared. You got this or so you think until you finally get the exam and realize you forgot everything you went over. There's nothing quite like the sheer panic that comes over you. In these situations, the best you can hope for is that it all comes back as you're working on it.

10. Freedom

Last but not least, the most important part of finals week: IT BEING OVER. Taking that last exam or turning in that last paper and knowing that you're done makes you want to cry and scream and laugh at the same time. But mostly, you feel relief knowing you have time before you have to do this all over again.

College can be a stressful time, but as long as you take breaks when needed, you'll be fine!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
