13 Thoughts to Get You Through Finals Week

Finals week is rough. You spend all your time in the library, guzzling coffee, calculating how low your final can be to still get a passing grade. It's the end of the year, and you want to celebrate with friends, but you're still stuck inside dealing with a mountain of a workload. Here's a couple thoughts to get you through finals week.

1. Summer is coming, so warm weather.

It was snowing last month in Indiana, so yeah, you could say I'm excited to wear shorts and tank tops for the next four months.

2. You get to see your pet soon.

Everyone misses their dog/cat/iguana/rabbit/little brother. Being reunited is going to feel so good.

3. You don't have to go to that one class you've been dreading.

You know the one I'm talking about. The one class where you watch the minutes tick by as slowly as possible. You're never going to have to see that terrible professor again, nor suffer through his awful assignments. Peace.


4. You're almost done with dining hall food.

The dining hall isn't even that bad, I just really can't wait to get back to my mom's cooking. After 9 months of the same meals, you get sick of it after a while.

5. You won't have to read a textbook for 4 months.

Not that you read the textbook in the first place.


6. You get to see all your hometown friends.

So much has happened in the past year and it's weird to think of hometown friends having the same amount of crazy experiences. I've missed them incredibly, and I can't wait to see them all so soon.

7. With the summer months come summer concerts.

Whether you're going to a big festival, or just seeing one of your favorites nearby, it's gonna be a great concert season.

8. You can finally catch up on Netflix.

I've had one person harping on me to start watching "Game of Thrones", so I guess I'll be booked my first few weeks of summer.

9. You should plan a summer adventure.

Whether it's a road trip, a camping trip, a beach day, etc., you should plan one special day/weekend where you can actually explore and enjoy your time off.

10. You'll have an excuse to eat more ice cream.

It's not summer if I'm not eating a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone every other day.

11. You can choose your own summer reading.

No more assigned readings. You can finally get around to reading that bestseller you've been eyeing.


12. Hopefully, you'll be making money.

Hopefully, you have a summer job and you'll be saving up for next year's shenanigans. Unless you have an unpaid internship, which is almost as good since at least you're building your resume and getting that experience.

13. Summer blockbusters.

Personally, I can't wait to see Suicide Squad. Summer is the perfect time to go to the movies.

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.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. 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.
