The Finals Week Diet, as Told by SpongeBob SquarePants

So, it's finals week and while you could carefully plan out every meal and make sure you are getting the essential nutrients and vitamins, it is just not practical to think that is going to happen. Taking study breaks to eat is essential to your success, but it is what we choose to eat in the moment that defines us.

1. Pizza.

It's greasy. It has cheese. It can be delivered. These are the three essentials of a finals week diet. Did I mention it has cheese?

"The Krusty Krab pizza is the pizza for you and me."

2. Campus Cookies.

It's the end of the year. Use those last FLEX dollars to, "treat yo'self!"

3. Jimmy John's.

Again, delivery is key. You do not have to abandon your carefully staked out spot in the library that you haven't left in three days. Also, if you want to go the healthier route, you can get the breadless version and feel good about yourself!

4. Easy Mac.

Using a microwave takes little to no brainpower, and your brain will probably be exhausted from studying so this is a perfect option. Just add water, press a couple buttons, add the cheese powder, and enjoy!

Get the SpongeBob Easy Mac for extra fun.

5. Coffee.

I mean, does this even need to be explained? All nighters come with a price, my friends. That price is however much seven grande white chocolate mochas cost. Also, get that whipped cream and caramel drizzle on top. It's good for your soul.

6. Vending machine treasures.

A quick bag of chips, a pack of Skittles, a Twix bar. The possibilites are endless. This is probably your closest option in the library or lounge where you are locked up. It is cheap, quick, and you can get a little exercise walking to and from the machine. It's a win/win option!

Last, but not least...

7. Chocolate.

Any and all forms accepted. It's the comfort food of comfort foods. A little chocolate never killed nobody.

Good luck on finals! Remember -- calories don't exist during finals week. That's just science.

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. 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.
