Finals Week. The week all college students dread as the semester progresses. It is a week of stress, anxiety, fear and overwhelming amounts of coffee, RedBull and other caffeinated helpers. It's the week where you start to realize how many hours spent watching Friends and Gilmore Girls should have been spent studying. Here are the stages of finals week, as told by Kourt K.
The denial about how close finals actually are.
The realization about how unprepared you are for finals.
When your professor announces that the exam is a comprehensive exam.
The moment of fear when you remember how you did on the first exam.
The moment when you begin studying and realize everyone was right about your addiction to Netflix.
When someone comes up to you at the library and distracts you.
You finally realize it's time to go to bed.
It's exam time.

You somehow finish the exam before the time is up.

One week later and the grade hasn't been posted.
Four days later, EXAM GRADE POSTED.![]()
You didn't fail!!!
Finals week. You will get through it and you will feel (almost) as fabulous as Kourt K. when they are over. Best of luck though, it ain't easy. You might come across a Kim K. meltdown in the process.
