The week before finals is always hectic. A lot of crying, a lot of bargaining, a lot of, well, everything. Everything seems to hit you all at once, and there is no pause button. While all the week seems to slip by, your mind tends to slip as well.

Here are the crazy things that tend to happen during finals week:

1. You drink nothing but coffee.

Caffeine. It doesn't even have to be coffee. Just generally anything that has caffeine in it.

2. You basically are living in the library.

I have seen people bring in blankets and pillows. There is no messing around when it comes to getting a spot in the library during this time. All the study rooms will be taken as well so make sure you find some way to reserve your spot.

3. You play games to procrastinate.

Who wants to do work anyway? We all know we have work to do, but that game looks so fun. Might as well try it out for an hour or two.

4. You take a nap but stress while doing so.

While setting that alarm for that wake-up time, you start to think about all the work you have to do and begin to stress. There is no relaxation during this week.

5. There is stress about the stress.

You start to think about the work, then think about the deadlines, then you start stressing, then you start to stress about the stress. It all comes full circle because you don't know what to do or how to start.

6. You don't sleep for days on end then you fall asleep for hours.

You end up staying awake for a week straight and as soon as you close your eyes, you fall asleep for hours on end. You are either awake for hours on end or asleep.

7. You're strictly on a microwavable food only diet.

No one has time to be cooking full course meals. That time has to be spent either studying or stressing. From now on, it is microwavable food only.

8. Attires will start to change.

No more jeans. It is now sweatpants, yoga pants, or generally something easy to slip into. What is the point of wearing jeans if you can't get comfortable?

9. You're constantly saying "f*ck this" every 20 minutes.

You want to give up, but sadly can't. Cursing about it is the only way to get through this hellish week.

10. You start skipping classes to do work for other classes.

That one particular lecture that you already did the work for doesn't seem important. You have other work to complete and wasting time on that lecture will only set you behind schedule.

11. You attend the lecture but work on other unrelated classwork.

Sometimes you have to attend the lecture if there is an attendance grade, but you aren't going to be paying attention. You discreetly try to accomplish other work while making sure the professor doesn't notice.

12. You take power naps anywhere between 8 minutes to 12 minutes.

You just need some sleep somehow. A power nap will keep you going for the rest of the day, but you got to squeeze them in whenever you can.

13. You start seeing people you never saw in class before.

What makes you think coming to class near the end of the semester will help your grade? If the whole class is staring at you, then most likely the professor is staring as well.

14. People you never talk to start contacting you.

Do not contact me if you have never spoken to me before. Especially if you are only using me to raise your grade. It is rude, and I will most likely block you because I have better use of my time.

15. Your schedule is thrown off.

You could go anywhere from taking a shower at 3 P.M. or 3 A.M. Who actually knows what is going on anymore?

16. Your dorm room slowly starts becoming a mess.

Sometimes it's like that. You don't have time to put everything in its place. You could use that time to study, eat, or even sleep.

17. You meet up with people to study, but you just complain.

You meet up with people to study for a test, but you all end up complaining about how you are screwed for the test. It is difficult to focus when you are around other people who understand you.

18. Your sense of time starts to deplete.

You don't know whether it is Friday or morning or night or Monday. You just go with the flow and next thing you know, it is 5 a.m.
