With the week of finals and Christmas Break almost upon us, there are no songs of sugarplums and thoughts of Christmas cheer and mistletoe dancing in our heads. It is the sound of soul-draining finals and endless nights of studying that seem to clog our ears. I talked with college students from different colleges and got their input about what thoughts went through their head the week of finals.

I mean, yeah, I am handling my stress well.

Being a stripper is a good back up plan, right?

I hope my future spouse is doing better than me in school right now.

I am so ridiculously broke right now.

How can there possibly be more tests?

Everything is going to be okay. Maybe. Possibly. Never.

[Nervous Laughing]

Is there room in my schedule to pencil in a nervous break down?

Pain is temporary. GPA is forever.

Is college even worth it?

Oh. Crap. Crap. Crap!

I might actually die this week. Maybe I should work on my will?

I cannot remember the last time I slept.

I know eating an entire carton of Oreos is a good idea.

Finals week results in one mood swing after the other.

My laughter always turns into crying.

If I can get through this, I get to Pinterest.

This week is like a roundhouse kick to my soul, my immune system, and my GPA.

I will not be defeated!

It is the week from hell.
