Top 10 Moments During Finals Week As Told By 'Workaholics'

When three best friends drop out of college, get a house together, and start working at a telemarketing job together, you know that it's always going to be a great time. Blake, Adam, and Anders learn that their transition from being lazy college students to having to set an alarm, actually work, and try not to cry at any inconvenience is very hard. Well, finals week is all of that combined in one week. Trying to learn everything you were supposed to learn the whole semester in one night at the library.

Hearing all the freshmen are complaining to their moms on the phone when walking through the quad

Sorry, freshman. But, this is college!

Realizing your professor says your 72% can't be rounded up to a 90%

Come on, I swear I tried my hardest in your class.

Getting sick because of all the stress

You are too stressed to sleep, so you have black circles around your eyes (darker than a raccoon's eyes). Seeing the first question on the final that your stomach decides that it's competing in the X-Games by doing a 540 triple quad flip.

Feeling sorry for yourself about all the built-up stress and long list of deadlines

Even though you know that you put all of it off to the last second and found out about the projects two months ago, it's still not your fault. Who says it's not okay to pity yourself?

Boosting your own self-confidence for avoiding breakdowns

Hyping your self up is one of the most important steps to avoid those breakdowns and kill those finals! Only cried three times today. Good job — two less than yesterday!

Refusing certain material only to see it in on the final

Saying I won't study these because they won't be on the final. Then, those questions are more than half of the final. We have all been there and regret it immediately.

Faking your through short-answer questions

When you're trying to sound smart, so you use those big words (questionably real ones) on those short-answer questions on that final. You have no idea what you are writing about and bullshitting them is the only way your way through.

Calculating your grade to figure out how well you need to do on the final to stay afloat 

When you go on final grade calculator to figure out the lowest grade you need to get on the final to past the class, you realize you need, like, a 126%.

Dressing like a complete hot mess that you are

You're just don't care that you look like complete crap the whole finals week, but it's actually a fashion statement. So, just let all those people stare. They have been there before. And if they haven't yet, they will have a rude awakening.

Owning the fact that you're absolutely not ready for finals

Guess who is nowhere close to being ready for finals? ME!

Finals is the worst week of college, but we can all do it! Good luck on finals everyone! Most importantly, stay fresh.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
