We're all alright.

Finals Week As Told By 'That '70s Show'

Finals week, a whole week dedicated to cramming a semester's worth of material into your brain that you don't even remember learning in the first place:

But you spend most of your time procrastinating instead of actually studying.

So you ask your teachers for extra credit, but they tell you they don't believe in doing that.

And your friends ask if you'll help them study, but you know just as little as they do.

So you try to study but all you can think about is one thing.

Suddenly it's the night before your first test, so you're forced to pull an all-nighter in order to make up for all of the studying that you should have been doing.

And you text all of your friends to wish them good luck with their finals.

It's time to get ready to take your first test, but all you can think about is how comfy your bed is.

And you debate if it's even worth going to at all.

So you try to pump yourself up.

But then you walk into the lecture hall, and you can tell that everyone feels the exact same way that you do.

Then you open up your test and suddenly you don't remember a single thing.

You contemplate if there's any possible way that you could cheat off the person next to you, but your teacher is staring you down.

And you think about how screwed you would be if you got caught cheating.

Then everyone around you starts to get up and you wonder how the hell they've finished already.

So you sit there and pray that your teacher will feel bad for you and at least give you points for writing your name down.

Basically how you feel after you finish that test.

What you imagine your professor is thinking when he grades your test.

One final down, only five more to go.

When your parents ask you how finals week is going.

And you begin to wonder if you even need to go to college in the first place.

How you feel waiting for your teachers to post your grades.

And when they finally do, you dread logging on to your school's website to check them.

But you realize that you actually didn't do that bad.

Finally, the madness is over.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
