9 Songs to Get You Through Finals Week
Rolling Stones

As a college student, few things are more stressful than finals week. In fact, the apocalypse itself may be outshone by the stress of that upcoming test. Few things can be done to alleviate the anxiety surrounding the last few weeks of the semester, but a few tunes you can turn up and jam out to is sure to help you make it to the end.

1. 'Till I Collapse; Eminem

Because sometimes the anxiety catches up, and you just might collapse. Plus, Eminem is Eminem - you can't get much more motivational than Marshall Mathers.

Check out the song here on iTunes.

2. Jukebox Hero; Foreigner

There are few 80's songs that get me moving, but man this is one of them. I like to play Jukebox Hero when I feel like I'll fail my classes. Because even if I fail, I'll just pick up my six string and rock out.

Check it out on YouTube.

3. Don't Stop Believing; Journey

Oh yeah, you knew I'd go there, didn't you? That song played at nearly every prom, homecoming, and high school dance in the history of humanity. Don't let the 98 you need on your final in order to pass the class get you down, just believe, man.

Take the midnight train right on over to their live performance.

4. Stressed Out; Twenty One Pilots

As if most college girls weren't already in love with Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, the American rap duo has offered their condolences for finals week. Somehow, in musical prose, the two captured every college students inner-thinking, "When did life become so hard? When did I grow up?" Don't worry, this song will throw you back to pre-k.

Their official music video is quite nostalgic, might I add.

5. Me, Myself & I; G-Eazy

Even if you don't care for the rap genre, G-Eazy and fellow track star Bebe Rexha blend a chorus and hook together like none other. The reigning #1 song on iTunes will make you feel capable of anything, and remind you that believing in yourself is the key to success of any kind.

Find the clean version on iTunes.

6. So What; P!NK

Sure this song is 8-years-old, but does that mean that it isn't still one of the greatest party songs of all time? Even if you fail every final you take, so what - you're still a rock star, right?

P!NK may even own the title of best music video on this list.

7. Hakuna Matata; Lion King

Okay, okay, this isn't actually a "song" per se, but it's far too accurate to leave off this list. After studying for six hours and still feeling lost, just let Timon and Pumba soothe your soul. You can pass that test, because it means no worries, for the rest of your days.

In case you've never seen Disney's greatest movie to date, here's their problem-free philosophy.

8. Roar; Katy Perry

If you watched Super Bowl 49, you should understand that Katy Perry's halftime performance likely sparked the New England Patriots unlikely 10 point comeback. If Katy could motivate 52 grown men in the biggest performance of their life, I think it's safe to say that this song can will you to passing that test.

Relive left shark and the entire Super Bowl XLIX halftime show here.

9. Hold On, We're Going Home; Drake (ft. Majid Jordan)

Once that last test is finished, the last box is packed, and the last college meal of the semester is eaten, it's time to head home. Nothing may feel better than that drive or flight back, but Drake can certainly help.

Hold on to your seats, because this is one interesting music video.

If these songs don't get you through the last two weeks, there's not a whole lot that will; even the 8 hours of studying you did last night.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
