If Christmas Carols showed the spirit that is early December and Finals Week.

Finals Week as told by Christmas Carols

Finals week may be over for you quarter system folk, but it just beginning for us on the semester system. In an attempt to further procrastinate from my studying--and to hopefully help you procrastinate from yours--I have complied a few of my favorite Christmas Songs. However, these aren't any ordinary Christmas songs. They have been transformed to capture the spirit that is Dead Week. Enjoy!

Rockin' Around the Lib-rar-y (Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree):

Rockin' around the Lib-rar-y

at the Finals studying hop

Students and notes where you can see

Only coffee warrants a stop

Rockin' around the Lib-rar-y

Let the Finals spirit ring

Later we'll have some tests to take

and we'll do some guessing


You will get a overwhelming feeling

When you see, questions saying

Palms get balmy, “Who wrote the Praise of Folly"

Rockin' around the Lib-rar-y

Have a happy doomsday

Everyone studyin' wearily

From day, to day, to day


You will get a devastating feeling

When you see, questions asking...

Palms are balmy; “Who the F!$* is Walter Raleghi?"

Rockin' around the Lib-rar-y

Have a happy Sunday

Everyone's crying silently

‘Cause Finals are a day away


Winter Undergrads (Winter Wonderland):

Don’t know a thing, are you listening

In the class, kids are suffering

A usual sight, we're up late tonight

Crying with a bunch of undergrads


Gone away is the old word

Here to stay is a new word

He revises it wrong, as we go along

Studying with a bunch of undergrads


In the library we can build a game plan

And pretend that it won’t make us frown

Teach’ll say, "Are you guys all ready?"

We'll say, "No man"

Cause I can’t do the job, when you're around


Later on, we'll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid, the finals that remain

Lying with a bunch of undergrads


Don’t know a thing, are you listening

In the class, kids are sufferin’

A usual sight, we're up late tonight

Crying with a bunch of undergrads


Gone away are the theorems

Here to stay are its victims

He factors it wrong, as we go along

Studying with a bunch of undergrads


In the library, lookin’ like a madman

Pretending that we won’t meltdown

We’ll have lots of trips to the coffeeman

Yes, until all the kids wear him down


And later on, we'll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid, the finals that remain

Studying with a bunch of undergrads

Crying with a bunch of undergrads


Here Comes Dead Week (Here Comes Santa Claus):


Here comes dead week, here comes dead week

Right down University lane

Biology, English, all his courses

Pulling on the reins


We are trying, children sighing

All is scary and quiet

Hang your backpack and say a prayer

'Cause Dead Week comes tonight


Here comes Dead week, here comes Dead week

Riding down University lane

We’ve got a week that's filled with finals

For everyone again


We Hear the break bells jingle jangle

What a beautiful sight

But an awful week we have to go

Because Dead week comes tonight


Here comes Dead week, here comes dead week

Right down university lane

Finals don’t care if you're rich or poor

They stress you just the same


Teachers knows that we're only human

But That doesn’t change a thing

Fill your bags with coffee and notebooks

'Cause Dead week comes tonight


Well, here comes Dead week, here comes Dead week

Riding down University lane

They’ll come around even when the children cry out

It can’t be dead week again


No Peace on earth will come to all

As the students shiver in fright

Let's curse the university above

'Cause Dead week comes tonight

'Cause Dead week comes tonight


I Don't Know (Let it Snow):

Oh the next few weeks are frightful

But the break is so delightful

And since we've four finals to go

To the library I go, I go, I go


It doesn't show signs of stopping

And I've got some Tears for mopping

The pressure’s turned way up high,

I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die


When we finally get the test

How I hate going out with a fail

Even if I tried my best

All the way home I will wail


I am slowly dying

And my dear we've still got days of crying

As long as you procrastinate so

you won’t know, you won’t know, you won’t know


Oh, it doesn't show signs of stopping

And I've brought some papers for writing

and the energy’s way down low

I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know


I may be home for Christmas (I’ll be home for Christmas):

I may be home for Christmas

If Hell week doesn’t take me

Please have snow and mistletoe

And a month of being carefree


Finals week will find me

Where the tests cause no screams

I'll be okay for Finals

Only in my dreams


I may be home for Christmas

If Hell week doesn’t take me

Please have snow and mistletoe

And a month of being carefree


Final’s week will find me

Where the stress is not extreme

I’ll be okay for Finals

Only in a dream

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.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
