11 Signs It's Finals Week According To Your Favorite Childhood Cartoons

Carl, Spongebob, and Arnold may never have went to college, but they can still relate to the struggles of finals week. While you're busy working on that 20 page paper, take a break to reminisce with your favorite childhood cartoons!

1. You’re tired pretty much 24/7.

Most people don’t have an ideal sleep schedule during finals. The week is usually spent in an exhausted haze.


2. Therefore naps are unavoidable.

Sure, you haven’t started the five-page essay due tomorrow, but you got like four hours of sleep last night so you nap. Or you fall asleep writing your essay.


3. Comfort food becomes every meal.

Pizza, popcorn, candy, cupcakes… You name it. During finals week, junk food is necessary.


4. Where is the focus?

Actually, just leave it at what IS focus? There are just too many words to read and facts to memorize and all focus goes out the window.


5. You hope that the test format is simple.

Three essays or 10 short answers -- anything like that just isn’t going to float.


6. You start to get a little…weird.

Too much reading and writing, combined with too little sleep, means you get a little loopy.


7. Everything you learned makes no sense.

You try to remember how your professors explained things, but you just kind of remember it like this.


8. Taking breaks is important.

Go for a ride, listen to some music, watch your favorite TV show, or do whatever else to give yourself some time to relax.


9. Sometimes you just want to give up.

All that studying and pressure to succeed can become a lot to handle.


10. Your friends notice your stress.

It’s pretty clear that you’re stressed out, and your friends probably mention it.


11. But even if you’re not doing as well as you want to, it’s OK.

You have to work hard and start somewhere to learn and improve.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

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.
