With season six of "Game of Thrones" having begun just last week and finals creeping up, many college students have a reasonable amount of anxiety slowly consuming them. Not only do you have to worry about passing your classes, but now you're also going to be constantly biting your nails over your favorite character who, let's face it, will probably die.
Why not just combine the two? If you're going to be a ball of stress, the causes might as well all be in the same article. To be honest, it's almost scary how well "Game of Thrones" matches up with finals week.
1. When your friends ask if you've started that major final paper
2. Learning you have three finals on the same day
3. When your professor hits you with new information the week before the final
4. Avoiding all thoughts of those three papers and four exams you have in a week...![]()
5. ...and then learning that your friend only has two finals
6. Showing up to every exam in sweatpants
7. When your professor says they expect a 90 or above from everyone
8. When your professor assigns a 12-page paper on top of your final exam
9. Discovering the night before that you are completely, without a doubt, unprepared for this final
10. Acing your first final, and then realizing you still have five others to take
11. Realizing you're probably going to have to drop out of school because of your GPA
12. When it's too late to drop that class that you really should have
Really, though, finals week may be upon us, and you may feel completely unprepared, but college students are basically made to handle this. All those late-night Netflix marathons and incredible coffee consumption is really just practice for the hell that is the last week of the semester. Besides, we're all basically Tyrion Lannister, anyway.
