College Students Thoughts While Studying For Finals

Finals Week by "Friends" and "Greys Anatomy"

Finals can be a very stressful and overwhelming time. As I head into my second experience of college finals, I thought it would be amusing to record the thoughts that are going through my head as this terrible time approaches. Here's to pulling all-nighters, drinking way too much coffee, studying for hours upon hours, wanting to pull your hair out and question the reason you went to college in the first place, the mental breakdowns, and the sleep deprivation that are coming soon. So, here's finals week told by two of my favorite shows, "Friends" and "Greys Anatomy".

1. The beginning of the end. Your professor is going over everything that you have learned this semester because it will ALL be on the final exam and you are low-key freaking out inside and want to just tell them to stop talking because you did not understand one word they just said.

2. When you are with your friends the Sunday before finals and you look at them and ask them how they are planning on preparing for tests and you all just sit around trying not to cry like...

3. Checking the current grade that you have in the class and calculating the exact percentage that you that you need on the final in order to pass the class and try to convince yourself that it's possible.

4. After studying and doing homework for 9 hours straight and you finally sit down on the floor of your room and can't decide what to do with yourself...

5. When all you can think about is exams and they ruin your mood, the energy, and even the most important meal of the day.

6. When you just decide to accept the failure and take the L but you still wanna be a good friend so you try to stay supportive to those who have more willpower than you.

7. Trying to do a quick recap on the major lessons learned in History this semester and realizing that you remember no specifics and all that comes to mind is...

8. Getting through one final, having 5 mins of relief and then moving on to worry about your next 8...

9. Pulling that final all-nighter of the semester and your friends are ready to sleep but you are in the zone and trying to spread the motivation.

10. Walking out of your last final like...


Don't stress too much. Time manage, figure out the best study method for you, do the best that you can, and remember that summer is right around the corner. You got this fam, I believe in you :)

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

winter

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.
