Finals Week In A Nutshell

Finals Week In A Nutshell
odditymall.com

Finals week is the same on almost every college campus week. Empty, stained coffee cups are everywhere. The same stress can be seen written on every student's face. The libraries are all of a sudden full after they've been half empty all year. Parties are suddenly not a thing anymore. I'm betting these things probably happen on every campus as well.

1. Falling asleep in the library at 3 a.m. because it’s too much of an inconvenience to go all the way back home when you know you have to come right back at like 7 a.m. that same morning.

Why bother? It makes no sense. May as well find a comfy spot in the study room and use your jacket as a pillow.

2. Almost crying at CVS just because they didn't have the right shampoo.

It’s understandable. You’re in a fragile state. CVS should know that.

3. Forgetting to eat dinner because you're studying and realizing at 11 p.m. because all of a sudden you think you're about to die of starvation.

Bring on the dinner of champions. You’ll need all the food just to get through the all-nighter you’re pulling.

4. Procrastinating your final paper with other work.

If you don’t want to work on the 10-page politics paper, don’t worry you can just study for your other 3 exams.

5. Wearing a hat every day because you can’t bring yourself to shower.

If you didn’t workout, who cares? It’s not like you were sweaty.

6. Watching every video there is to watch on YouTube.

This was one of your methods of procrastination but now that option’s off the table.

7. Drinking your first-ever Monster energy drink.

You can ever turn it into a drinking game but since you’re a good student, just replace the beer with that Monster and you’re good to go.

8. Becoming best friends with the kid who’s always next to you on the bottom floor of the library studying.

You get to miserable together. There’s your common ground.

9. Forgetting who your roommate even is because you never see them anymore.

I mean they’ve got exams too. No time for socialization, study, people. Study!

10. Not working out for that whole week just because you’re too tired.

Mentally tired = physically tired. No need to go run 5 miles, your brain just ran 200.

11. Killing 1,000 trees with all the paper you use up.

We’re talkin’ 50-page study guides here people. That’s a lot of trees. It’s your professor’s fault, though.

12. Calling your parents every hour for a pep talk.

“Hey, Mom, I just want to warn you that I’m probably going to fail my Calculus exam. Love you!!” It’s just nice to hear she’ll still love you when you get home. Hopefully.

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.
