27 Thoughts Every Purdue Student Has During Exam Weeks

There is nothing worse than an exam week at Purdue University. Somehow, no matter what classes you are in, all of the exams and papers seem to magically align in the same week, at least once a semester. We all know the 2 a.m. caffeine induced coma of an exam week all too well, and some people, including myself, would rather lose an arm than have to go through it every exam week.

1. Okay, this week won't be too bad, I at least relatively understand most of the subject material in my classes.

Energy and optimism are high at the beginning of the week. I can probably pull this off.

2. I know nothing about anything.

...or not.

3. Boilercast is my actual best friend.

4. I shouldn't have missed so many Friday classes. I hate myself.

Thursday nights are so fun though...

5. I am just going to take a small break to create an ideal "Study Playlist"...

6. How is it already 1 a.m.?!

Small study break took 2 hours. Whoops.

7. How did I already go through 150 notecards?!

8. I have been studying all night and Istill don't know anything about anything.

9. I am so screwed.

10. I need cookies. Or pizza. Or both. Definitely both.

11. How much caffeine is too much?

12. Does the human body REALLY need sleep?

13. Thank goodness they drop one exam.

14. I am supposed to have read how many chapters?

That's just absolutely not happening.

15. I give up.

16. I am still so screwed.

17. Maybe I'll just go to sleep now and wake up early tomorrow and study...

Once I start telling myself this, I have already lost the battle.

18. I can't do this again tomorrow night.

19. Am I even awake right now?

I don't think I am conscious.

20. My brain feels fuzzy. I think I am losing vision!

21. Maybe college isn't for me.

22. Update: still screwed.

23. Thank god for Jimmy John's delivery until 3 a.m.

Y'all the real MVPs.

24. I need to stop spending so much money on study food...

25. Well, exam time. Here goes nothing.

26. That wasn't THAT bad...

27. I am not checking my grades until after Spring Break.

Ignorance is bliss.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
