The 5 Things Everyone Feels During Finals Week

Because all bad things (finals week) suck, but will eventually come to an end

1. Stress. Lots and lots of Stress

It'd honesty inevitable that anywhere from 1 to 6 cumulative exams will make you feel some type of way, and usually that way isn't good. From cramming the night before, to realizing you have half an hour to relax between two massive tests (my reality), the stress is bound to be there.

2. Hungry (and willing to eat anything)

Calories don't count during finals week, right? When you're studying at all hours of the day, and need to sneak a meal in, you'll eat basically whatever is easiest to get. This goes along with the stress too- you just eat more when you're taken over by stress, it's just how things work

3. Exhausted

No amount of coffee, no number of energy drinks, and no amount of power naps can stop us from feeling full exhaustion throughout the entire week. Believe me.

4. Comfort

Honestly, this is only because every moment spent in the library happens in the most comfortable attire. There will be people shamelessly walking around in pajamas no matter what time of day it is

5. Relief

This is only to say after hell week ends, but it really does happen. Being done with a full semester and studying for hours on end gets to end at some point, and it really does feel good. As finals week has just begun, and the end seems nowhere near, take this as a time to remember that the relief you'll feel when it's all over is beyond worth it.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
