Finals week has begun. Campus is dead, Starbucks is out of coffee, 7/11 is out of energy drinks, and every spot in the library is taken. Here are a few thoughts that the majority of us students have during the busiest and most stressful time of the year.
1. I have all the time in the world. I'll be fine.
We all tell ourselves this. These are the words that start our procrastination for the week.
2. Holy crap. Only two days until my first final. HOLY CRAP.
Mini heart attack time. You may look cool on the outside, but on the inside you are trying to figure out when you will have time to sleep. Power naps for the win!
3. It's time to camp out at the library.
This is when my backpack is about thirty pounds because I have books, food, maybe a sleeping bag, toothbrush, charger. Ya know. The essentials.
4. You win, finals. I accept defeat.
Last year I called my mom and cried my eyes out mid study while sitting in the library.
5. Alright today is the day. You can do this. *heavy breathing*
We all walk in telling ourselves "you got this," and rightfully so. Confidence is flowing until you see the first question and start to quietly hyperventilate.
6. Yes!!! I am done. My brain can relax.
I am going to lay down and do nothing now. And I have no shame.
7. I need a drink.
After a long week of finals, it's time to treat yo' self.
