With finals week looming before us like the big mass of unhappiness and stress that it is, the next couple of weeks will be full of cramming and eating too much comfort foods as we try to somehow get through the end of this semester. We’ve all been there, and if this is your first time don’t worry because it never gets any better and you get to do it again in the spring! Maybe that’s a little too overdramatic, but you get the picture. And if you don’t get the picture, then our favorite Disney princesses are going to tell you all about finals week.
Sailing Into Finals Week Like...
So you may not be actually sailing, but hopefully by the time your tests come around you'll be feeling all smart and empowered like our new friend Moana.
But, in case you're not...
There Will Be Breakdowns
Accept them as they come. Maybe make sure you study with a friend so you have a shoulder to cry on. But, the sooner you come to terms with the fact that your brain may feel like it's melting and you'll want to cry because you can't school anymore, the better off you'll be!
You Will Need Sleep But Probably Won't Get It
Sleeping is, of course, a necessity but finals are a time where all-nighters become a reality for most people.
Food Will Be Your Comfort
Suddenly, a bag of Doritos become your lifeline. A carton of ice cream stops the flow of tears. Your favorite candy bar stops your panic attack. Make sure you pace yourself, though. Don't let finals ruin your holiday figure.
You Will Be Overwhelmed
There's just so much on your plate in such a small amount of time. SO MUCH. And no matter how far away you try to run from all of the things you have to do, you will have to come right back. Trust me, I've tried.
Everyone Looks Like They Just Woke Up
Gone are the days where the school is our runway. People no longer try to look appealing. We have no one to impress until next year!
Exhaustion Is A Well-Known Feeling
Different than lack of sleep, but many of the same feelings. You'll be constantly tired, drained, dragging, but you have to keep going! It's ridiculous, I know.
Your Last Final Feels Like Christmas Morning
The excitement is unreal. Can it really be over? Can I stop crying? Can I watch Netflix? Can I go home? YES!
Finals week is a crazy emotional roller coaster that feels like it will never end. But it does. All you have to do is get through it. Conceal don't feel and let it go. You can do it!
