Emotions During Finals Week
Google

Finals week is here my friends. The most bittersweet week for every single college student. The finals hurt so badly, and all the preparation is brutal BUT after we conquer finals then it's time for sweet beautiful home. Home cooked meals, high school friends, family, and all the good things that come with being home. So here is something that everyone can relate too, emotions we all feel during this awfully bittersweet week.

About to kill this exam.

First exam is here, you got a nice sleep the night before and you got this...maybe. You know it is the first exam, so you are tired but you got it. Nothing can stop how hype you are because you know the material and finals week has started which means you can go home in a few days. BLESSED.



Walking out of the exam.

Its alright it only exam one, it didn't go as planned, but I got this. Exam two is about to be an A. Okay so you looked at the first question and cried a little. It's okay, it happens to all of us. You also didn't get your grade back, so it's fine, you may have done better than you thought. Optimism is key.

Library Round 2.

Yep you are back to a place that feels like hell. It is not, its just the library but you just want it all to end. One final and you are tapping out. No matter how many cups of coffee, you are still tired. You get that call from your parents and they keep encouraging you and after not knowing everything on the first exam, you got this. Motivation is back and all of a sudden you are in drive and the GPA is rising one flashcard at a time.



Trying to pack and study at the same time.

Its time to pack up and you have to study..why don't I have people for that. I can't do it all. But everything is fine. When is the appropriate time to take a break and pack? You want to do well, but you are also trying to be packed so after your last final you can roll out of campus.



You are tired.

Lack of sleep is getting to you.. Are you delirious? I mean maybe but that isn't stopping you. Bring on the sleepiness, you can do it... toss back the shots of espresso the same way you would on a Saturday night. Don't worry everyone I am right there with you...On a normal weekend we say one tequila, two tequila, three tequila Floor...Finals we say...One espresso, two espresso, three espresso, Study!



Your roommate leaves.

Your roommate is the one who keeps you sane, and they are leaving for the summer a few days before you, they are going to let you struggle. Its' over, it goes down hill from here. Well the roommate leaves, you are by yourself. Call it quits now.



Last Exam here we go.

You did it, in a few hours you will be done for the semester. It is the home stretch. It's here!! You did it, the last final is here and you can leave. You can't wait to just jump into the car and drive home, especially if you know that mom has dinner waiting for you.


HOME!

HOME HERE I COME. Now of course the summer is going to be filled with work and trying to make money, but the opening of the text book is done!! HONEY IM HOME


we can do it, only a few weeks left and then we are FREE. Keep studying everyone, we got this.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. 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.
