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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
