7 Feelings You Have During Midterm Week
Her Campus

You see, with it being midterm week here on campus, I am having a whirlwind of emotions running through me right now. Between pure excitement and pure terror, I'm not really sure if I'm enjoying this week.

With the way my school's great football schedule was created this semester, our homecoming week is the same week as midterms. So you can now understand how someone could be excited, yet so scared for a week like this one.

With this being my third go-around of midterms, I can only express all of the feelings I go through during this week.

1. Pure terror..

Not only will they make or break your grade, these exams often fall on the same day.

2. Sleep deprivation

The best part of midterms week is getting 14 hours of sleep... Over the span of a week.

3. Complete FOMO

While some people are out having loads of fun with their friends, you have to have a crazy night at the library, studying.

4. Mental breakdowns

I promise I'm not crying because something actually happened. I'm just crying because I'm going to fail all of my midterms this week.

5. Stress eating.... Everything and anything

I don't care if it's bad for me or if it's my roommates. I'm stress eating, and I don't care.


6. Regrets

I feel like just about every person will go through the feelings of regret once midterm exams roll around. Either regretting going out so often and procrastinating studying, or just regretting not trying as hard on assignments so the exam grades wouldn't matter. Or if you're like me, you regret all of those and binge watching Netflix shows the week before.

7. Mental breakdown #2

Trying to cope with sleep deprivation and the thoughts that your grades are going to tank can cause an unexplainable amount of stress crying.


Hopefully all the studying and late nights at the library will pay off.. But until then I will be experiencing all of these feelings (at least once, maybe twice.)

Good luck to everyone on midterms, because I know I surely need it!

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.
