The Stages Of Finals Week

When you hit each stage, you start to question why you went to college more and more.

Finals week is this week and for most college students, it will be the worst week of the semester. As the most dreaded week of college life, you'll start to question whether going to college was a good choice or not. If you have one, two, or five finals like me, it is guaranteed you will be under some sort of stress leading up to your last final. However, the week will surely end, and summer will start. You'll hopefully get to enjoy the three months of freedom you have. With that, here are the 11 stages of finals week!

1. The amount of work you have puts you in denial.

Between final papers, tests and presentations, it may seem like a never ending process.

2. The stress kicks in.

Then, once you realize how much work you actually have to do, you start flipping out and wondering when you will be able to finish it all.

3. Finally, you get the energy to study.

You don't know where to start so you just end up reading your whole textbook.

4. And you didn't retain any information.

You are doomed when you hit this stage...

5. Everything else besides studying is entertaining to you.

Netflix, food, games on your phone, you name it—it is entertaining and a great distraction from studying.

6. And you literally just do not care anymore.

You hit that point where you feel like you cannot study anymore. Whatever you get on the test is going to be what you get on it.

7. You pull an all-nighter studying for your exam last minute because you procrastinated.


Then, maybe you feel like if you study for a couple more hours, you will be able to do well on your exams.

8. You walk into the test accepting failure.

The morning of the test after pulling an all-nighter is the worst. Especially, if you are too tired to remember the material.

9. After getting the test, you look for answers you know, but your mind just goes blank.


Looking for those keywords you studied is getting you absolutely nowhere.

10. Regardless of how you did on the test, you are happy you're done with finals week.

Who cares if you failed your test! You are officially done with finals!

11. Until next semester...

Good luck with finals everyone!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
