23 Times College Students Channel Their Inner-Grinch During Finals Week

In This Article:

Whether it's the Christmas season or not, the Grinch is an icon. He's sassy, hates himself, and hates people, so he's essentially all of us on some level. Though he's relatable to everyone, his quips perfectly describe college students during finals week, easily the worst week of the semester.

Here are 23 times the Grinch was any college student coping with finals week struggles.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
