Finals Week, As Told By Sweeney Todd

"But the work waits!"

So in the Broadway scene right now there's a ton of hype around new musicals like "Dear Evan Hanson" and "Hamilton." However, "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" has always been a personal Broadway favorite. If you've never heard Sweeney Todd's story (If not, why are you here?), Sweeney, a London resident in the 1800's, is wrongfully sent to prison in Australia by Judge Turpin (who has the hots for Sweeney's wife). However, Sweeney escapes and sets out on a plot for revenge which involves slitting the throats of innocent people and baking them into meat-pies with the help of Ms. Lovett. Despite his lust for blood, Sweeney Todd's angry and vengeful personality is one I most relate to during finals week. So let's begin!

1. Looking around at how full just about every library is on campus.

Ah, the smell of stress among us all is so nice!!!

2. Procrastinating on studying until the week of exams.

I'm not a freshman anymore. I can pull this off, I promise.

3. Accepting that this year's finals might be a bit of a lost cause.

Oh well, who needs school anyways?

4. Suddenly, the thought of living in your parent's basement forever seems a bit more reasonable.

I mean their basement is nice, lowkey.

5. When someone tries to bug you while you're busy as heck during the week.

Hey, I've finally stopped procrastinating. Don't kill my vibe, please.

6. Finally going into your first exam.

Let the games begin!

7. Looking at the first question of your hardest exam.

What did I just get myself into? Is this education even worth it?

8. When the professor of your hardest class harped on how "easy" the final would be.

I feel played.

9. Hardcore bs-ing some of the answers on said exam.

Aye, I've got this... I think? Just...never mind.

10. The sense of exhaustion and defeat you feel coming out of your last final.

At least they're done, and I'm kind-of-sort-of alive.

11. Looking at the grade of the final you "thought " went well.

Sweeney Todd GIF

Is this some kind of joke? Please let it be.

12. But even if finals don't go well, why even dwell on it?

Sweeney Todd GIF

I'm sure next semester will go better anyways.

13. And mandatory celebration after hell — I mean finals week — is over!

Sweeney Todd GIF

Drinks on me, boys!

14. Going back home and hearing your high school friends talk about how "hard" their finals were.

Reaction GIF

Don't even get me started. Please stop.

15. You'll be damned if you even think about school over break.

Bye school. I wont miss you for about the next month.

Nonetheless, good luck on finals this year! And remember, once the week is over, nobody's stopping you from watching Sweeney on repeat for the next month. I'm just saying. Try not to go to insane this week though, you don't want to turn into Sweeney.

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.
