The time is upon us. We have survived the entire semester, suffered long nights, functioned through severe sleep deprivation (barely) and absorbed a plethora of knowledge! Now we must push through the final stretch. But if there is anyone out there who understands our pains and victories of finals week, then it is obviously Kristen Wiig.
1. When you hand in a paper and realize you still have seven more to write.
2. When you see your bed after coming home at 4 a.m. from the library.
3. When you reevaluate why you are in college and contemplate how it is ever going to impact your future.
4. When you are so brain dead that you forget to brush your teeth and you don't even care anymore.
5. When in general there is a lack of showers and hygiene, so you work with what you can in the time that you have.
6. When you discover that everything on the exam is material that was not on the study guide.
7. When all the good spots in the library are taken.
8. When there's an essay portion.
9. When you are writing the essay portion and your hands cramp up.
10. When your professor shortens your two-hour exam period to an hour.
11. Eating.
12. Finally eating.
13. Working in the library in the dead of night.
14. When you oversleep for your exam.
15. When your group project members are slacking and make up excuses (which all have to do with their boyfriends).
16. When you write an evaluation (a.k.a., a roast) on the said group members.
17. When you forget what sleep is.
18. When you are broke from all the spending you did throughout the semester, but really need to binge on some Chipotle Mexican Grill to get you through the week.
19. When you try to get an essay extension from a professor.
20. Aiming for success like...
21. When you totally nail your exam without expecting to.
22. The exact moment you hand in your last exam.
23. When you finish all of your exams and then remember that you have yet to start packing.
24. When you are leaving campus, but other students are still stuck there.
25. Bye bitches.
26. And I know she isn't Kristen Wiig, but I couldn't resist. When Melissa McCarthy accurately described everything that is not only final exams, but the entire college experience.
Good luck on finals everybody! If chocolate and coffee don't get you through the week, the wondrous Kristen Wiig surely will!
