The Best 'Yaks On Finals Week

As finals quickly approach, college students are scrambling to finish projects, study for exams, and if you’re lucky, get a few hours of sleep. Instead of doing the logical thing and tackling these problems, many of us turn to Netflix, binge-eating, and my personal favorite – Yik Yak. Here’s a few yaks to let you know you are not alone in this impending finals struggle:


“On the second week of Xmas my teachers gave to me: 5 all-nighters, 4 hours of crying, 3 mental breakdowns, 2 thoughts of dropout, & a month of anxiety.”

“Study tip: Laminate your notes so your tears roll off.”

“Finals week got me grinding like freshman year homecoming.”

“Moment of silence for all the guys who thought they’d get laid finals week – she wants the A way more than she wants the D.”

“At this point, I wish I went to Hogwarts.”

“My grades are telling me to be a trophy wife, but my looks are telling me to work harder.”

“Mom: ‘Did you get enough sleep?’ Me: ‘Sometimes my eyes close when I sneeze.’”

“That moment in an exam when everyone is using a ruler to draw something, and you don’t know why.”

“The number 69 stopped being funny when it became my exam average.”

“Cumulative finals are like fighting the exes. What’s done is done. Why bring up the past? Let it f***ing go.”

“My biggest problem finals week is deciding to put Kahlua in my coffee or vodka in my Redbull.”

“When your classmates are worried that they’ll get a B+ instead of an A-, and you’re just like ‘yoooooo I’m just tryna pass.’”

“Curves on women are nice, but curves on final exams are better.”

“’Twas the night before finals, and all through the town, not a f**k could be given, not a f**k could be found.”

(P.S. Good luck on all your finals – y’all will do great!)

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
