With the pressure of last minute assignments, tests, and trying to turn your D- into an A in 10 days, every student knows how terrible finals week is. Although, I'm sure there's a million reasons to hate this dreadful week, here's 5 of them.

1. The pressure of most finals being worth a big majority of your grade.

Even if you've turned in all of your assignments, studied hard all semester, and have had perfect attendance, which means if you fail that final your A drops to a C in the matter of one day...

2. Procrastination

We all know it's inevitable to wait until the last minute to study and get your assignments done. But when you have work for each of your 5 classes, the procrastination and pressure can get to an all time high.

3. Not having enough time

Even though you've had the first day of class and the syllabus clearly outlined when your final would be, you're probably a victim of #2 on this list. However, sometimes even when you try to be an effective worker and get ahead in your studying the amount of last assignments, papers, presentations, and projects that are due right before you take the final can take away from your valuable studying time! Which means you're only left with the last couple of your days before your test to cram in as much as you can.

4. Losing out on sleep

With all of that studying and papers to write, there's going to be a lot of all nighters and late night study sessions in store for you this week. But of course when we ask any teacher for advice on a test one of the first things they tell you is to "get a good night's sleep". We all know the only sleep your getting is the power naps right before your classes.

5. No social life

You can say goodbye to your friends and any sight of outside of the library for about a week and hello to your new best friend- your computer. For the most part, everyone checks out the last week of classes which means you feel like you're on break, but you're still stuck for another week of tests! This only makes the studying process that much harder.

We've all been through these things while preparing for our finals. Hang in there and pull through because you did not do all of this work for the past semester for nothing!!
