18 Things Every College Student Needs During Finals Week, BET

Finals week is one of a kind. It's such a special week, that nobody can ever shut the f*ck up about it.

Any kind of help to get through finals week is gladly taken by college students. If anyone wants to help out: here's a list of things that we need in order to make the week successful.

1. Coffee

Late night studying and writing papers last-minute calls for a wake-up call. And by wake up call, I mean caffeine.

2. An Essential Oils Diffuser

Drop in some Lavender essential oil, take a deep breath, and hope for the best. Find your zen girrrrrrl.

3. Coffee

I mean, the first cup helped so much why not have another?

4. Extra Pens

Once you get into that study-groove, you NEVER know what could happen. Keep an extra pen near you in case the one you're using dies, so you don't even need to waste time finding another one and throw off your groove!

5. Maybe More Coffee

YES! This coffee has you feeling good! CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP!

6. Advil

Fight the headaches. Between looking at your computer for hours, the teeny font in your textbooks, and cramming an entire semesters worth of work into a night, the brain begins to feel mushy. Fight alllll the headaches.

7. Okay... Caffeine Helps Headaches Right?

Advil + coffee = headache cocktail

8. Comfy Clothes... But Not TOO Comfy

Sweatpants: yes

Hoodie: yes

Fuzzy Socks: Ugh yes, but no. Too comfy. This puts you in the sleep zone and WE DON'T WANT THAT. WE WANT A'S.

9. ...Maybe One More Cup

The hoodie may have been too comfy. It's prime tired and depressed hour. Time to rejuvenate.

10. A Pillow To Punch

There's this certain point when studying for finals when everything starts to go...awry. Take that aggression out on a pillow. Picture that test. You got this. SHOW IT WHO'S BOSS.

11. Do Caffeine Pills Work As Good As Coffee?

MUST. STAY. UP. NEED. AN. A.

12. A Slapping Buddy

A slapping buddy is someone who slaps you every time you start to fall asleep or daydream about Harry Styles. They could possibly be the single most important thing we need for finals week.

13. Is This an Addiction?

At this point, it's the only thing giving me life.

14. Waterproof Mascara and Under Eye Concealer

Waterproof mascara, because during finals week, a mental breakdown could come out of nowhere; and under eye concealer so you don't hear the "Oh my God! You look so tired!" all day.

15. ......................

16. The Will To Live

Like I said, finals week is a special week.

17. NO SHAME

There aren't words to describe the coffee before your last final.

18. A DRINK YOOOOOO

We all deserve drinks at the end of the semester. We did it. We made it out.....

barely.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

tv.com

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

4. In fact, you’re rarely ever actually mad.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.

7. You constantly remind yourself, “At least I’m not a psycho.”

Some of your best ideas come through boredom.
