Exams, ugh.

Finals Week As Told By Mindy Kaling
The Closet Feminist

The over-crowded libraries, lines out the door at Starbucks, and campus-wide high tension levels can only mean one thing: finals week. While we may have successfully survived the semester thus far, exams definitely have us all feeling some type of way. Here's a few of the situations you may find yourself in over the next few days, straight from the funniest, most relatable woman out there...

When you realize your exams are now officially a week away, so you pack your bag and head to the library, for the first time all semester.

When a cute boy makes eye-contact with you from three tables over, so you consider the possibility of a finals week fling???!!

When you've already checked Facebook and Snapchat six times each, but you still can't concentrate...

When you consider the fact that perhaps the best solution is to just put away the books and switch your priorities altogether...

You attribute your lack of focus to the fact that you're starving, so you opt for a "healthy" snack...

But before you know it, you've inhaled 4 bags of chips, 2 cookies, you're in desperate need of a coffee refill, and you still haven't even started studying.

When all your friends are cracking under the pressure and full on ugly-crying, but you're just not sure how to handle it all...

When you decide that maybe the trick to conquering your physics exam is to simply "dress for success!"

But then you open the first page of your test and don't know the answer to a single question...

So, you give yourself a little pep-talk before continuing. You can do this!!

And finally, you (somehow) finish your last exam and can now celebrate the official start of break!!!

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.
