Finals Week: Cat Style

If a cat can do it, you can do it.

Finals week is among us yet again. It is hands down the most dreaded and stressful time of the entire semester. During this time of the year, college students go through a strand of many emotions. Now, take a study break while these cats express the thoughts we all have this time of year.

Typically you begin the week feeling confident. You tell yourself, and everyone around you, that you will spend your time being productive, and you will get crap done! You spend the next 14 hours sitting in the library working on all the last minute assignments that are due before you can actually begin studying for your exams.

You've done so much work, but you're beginning to run out of steam. You begin getting distracted by little things like someone dropping a pen or your phone vibrating. You've done so well with staying focused, but it's beginning to get more and more difficult to keep you from loosing your momentum.

You just need a little bit of time to yourself. After all, you deserve it after all the hard work you just put in. You tell yourself that one episode won't kill you, so you fall into the black hole that is Netflix.

All of the sudden it is 5 a.m., and you have been on Netflix for five hours. Alright, it's time to focus. You go grab some more Starbucks and get back to work. Thank goodness for 24 hour library hours during finals week!

Your exhaustion finally catches up to you. You simply do not think you can go on anymore tonight.

If you go to sleep now, you will get exactly one hour and fifteen minutes of sleep, so you decide that would be the best decision to make. Sleeping in the library is totally acceptable during finals, so you don't even have to bother walking to your dorm or driving home.

The next day is horrible. You can hardly function on the little sleep you got. You wonder how you will ever survive a week of this!

Before you know it, the time for exams has arrived. You feel so unprepared, it's overwhelming! You don't think that you know anything your professors have taught all semester and wonder where it all went wrong. Maybe it was that time you skipped your 8 a.m. to sleep in a bit or the time you went to the club instead of studying for that first exam. This is the moment that you question every decision that you made all semester.

The minute you get home after you take your last final exam you head straight for bed feeling defeated.

Although you thought there was no hope, you eventually find out that you did indeed pass all of your exams, and more importantly you passed all of your classes!

Congratulations! You survived another semester of college!

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.

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.
