Finals Week As Told By "Sherlock"

Finals Week. What a time to be alive. Throughout the semester, it is the one week that you are dreading to be a part of. Sleepless nights, turmoil, terror, this week brings it all. The Sherlock gang accurately depicts this week better than anyone.

When you realize that you have a final on the last day and time possible, leaving you to stay at school an extra day.

When you are in a mandatory, professor-sanctioned study group and the people who attend don't help you at all.

When you reach hour 36 of an all-nighter.

When you study too hard, that you forget how to communicate with humans.


When you find out your college has therapy dogs.

When the professor says that the final is cumulative.

When you and your friend are in the same final together and try to encourage each other.

When you are trying to do your hardest final and even the smallest of noises bother you.

When your roommate walks into your room while you are studying and starts to talk to you.

When you get super distracted and procrastinate all day.

When you don't let your hardest and least favorite professor crush your mellow.

When you make a higher grade than you thought you would on a test.

When you ask the know-it-all in the class a clarifying question, and they answer you back all sassy like

When you try to kiss up to the professor so that they can go easy on you.


When you come out of your hardest final that you are sure you failed.

When your professor curves the final, making your final grade go up a half a letter grade.

And finally, that feeling when you are free from the clutches of the prison called College.

Good luck with finals everyone!!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — 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.
