5 Signs Finals Week is Near

Can you tell by the look in your eyes or your billions of coffee receipts?

5 Signs Finals Week is Near
Her Campus

With a little more than just two weeks left of classes, stress is starting to weave it's way through every student's life. From the increase of last minute campus events, everyone suddenly realizing seniors are graduating, seniors realizing they will be graduating, and the magical vanishing of pages between the ever dreaded exam week; here are 5 signs you know finals are coming.

1. College students are taking over local pet stores

Let's face it, the one thing we arguably want more than anything to be sent to us in a care package from home is our dog, cat, rabbit, etc. However, thanks to that probably being illegal and the fact that we'd like to get our beloved pets alive, we flock to the nearest pet store and spend countless hours realizing that while our professors might not love us despite our work at least these animals love us.

2. Coffee shops have to restock on a daily basis

The one thing that every college student lives off of is coffee. It's like gasoline for a car, it wakes us up and keeps us going. When we're empty we either completely crash or are already lined up at the nearest coffee shop to refuel.

3. Library tables have never felt so comfortable

The one thing that we want more than our pets, coffee or passing grades happens to be sleep. We also don't care when or where we get it. This often leads to what should have been some last minute cramming being turned into an additional few hours of sleep.

4. Professors realize they still have half a syllabus left to cover in 2 weeks

I don't know about you all, but it's the worst when professors think they can make up for lost ground by saying they won't cover 8 chapters of additional material in lecture but all 8 chapters plus the additional lecture material needs to be learned before the cumulative exam.

5. You have break down sessions with your friends

Too much coffee, too little sleep and a massive combination of everything going on at once leaves little room for being able to de-stress. Thankfully, we all have someone who we can break down and cry to (or with). Because, let's face it, our friends know exactly what we're going through.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
