33 Stages Of Finals Week
Odyssey

1. Realizing it's finals week

2. A

lso realizing you haven’t studied yet

3. Frantically searching through canvas to make sure you've completed everything

4. Also seeing what grade you need on the final to not fail

5. Realizing how many lectures you may or may not have missed

6. Also realizing that that one nap wasn't worth missing the class

7. Just kidding naps are always worth it

8. Starting to get determined for studying

9. But then seeing all your books and lecture notes and wanting to cry

10. Maybe one episode of Netflix won't hurt

11. But then the one episode turns into 4 or 5... maybe 9

12. It's going to be a rough week, just finish the entire season

13. Realizing you just wasted several hours and you contemplate if it's actually worth it

14. Contemplating switching majors

15. Because so many people switch their majors right?

16. Realizing that you can actually do it.

17. Finally sitting down and studying

18. Chugging every drop of coffee and energy drinks in sight

19. Where’s the closest Starbucks?

20. Realizing you don't know a single drop of the material, go back to step 9

21. Treat yourself to a study break

22. Even though you haven’t studied an ounce of material

23. Maybe switching scenery will help

24. *Goes to the library and snap chats with the filter of Halle Library to show people you’re studying *

25. Spends the rest of the time on social media

26. It’s going to be a long night

27. 2am comes around and realizing that if you don’t know the material now you wont by the morning

28. Realizing all those forward messages about luck from middle school and high school that you never forwarded are now giving you bad luck

29. Why do teachers even give finals?

30. Don't they realize how hard they are?

31. *takes final *

32. Okay next semester I’m going to stay on top of studying and not waste time!

33. *repeat*

Finals really are the most stressful week of every semester for college students. Make things easier and try to study as much as you can (not the night before) to reduce stress and actually get some sleep!

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.

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.
