Finals Week, also known as the most dreaded week of a student's life. Oh, how we stress eat and ugly cry ourselves into a bottomless pit of anxiety and never ending failure. Now it may seem like student's can get pretty dramatic when it comes to final exams, but they are no freaking joke. Between spending hours a day hunched over a textbook at the library to staying up till the crack of dawn just trying to hit that ridiculous word limit on your final paper. Finals week is the only thing standing between us, and summer vacation. This week of hell hit's you like a brick wall. One day you are just sitting in your class, minding your own business when the Professor starts handing out final reviews and project outlines? What?! How can this be?! We still have so much time? I'm so young! I had my whole life to live!?! Now you have five papers, three group projects, and six exams to study for. Wait, you're only taking five classes? How do you have so much work? Why is it all due at the same time? Don't worry it's not like these tests will determine your entire grade...oh wait they do.
So this is when procrastination sets in, just doing anything except studying sounds like a good idea. Organize the fridge? Yeah, why not. Do the weeks of laundry you have also been procrastinating on, yeah let's do that. Suddenly feel like going to the gym even though you haven't set foot in a gym since high school? It's never too late to get healthy. Or, the best procrastination tool, television. I don't mean watching a documentary on sloths or the economy crisis. I mean juicy, drama filled, decades of seasons television. My poison of choice? Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw and her ladies are exactly the kind of distraction I need from the impending doom of exams. So what would Carrie and her gal pals say about finals?
