Finals week is rough for everyone. Teachers expect you to remember every minute detail from each lecture. Tests are three hours long. There are hundreds of multiple choice questions and open responses. Every student is burned-out from studying. By the end of the week, you look like a walking zombie. You're living off of coffee and cheese puffs. It may not seem like all of the studying and long nights will be worth it, but in the end you'll live and pass the class. Here are some thoughts that every student has during this tough week, as told by the cast of "Grey's Anatomy."

1. I’ve calculated my grade, and to get an A in this class, I need to get a 203 percent on my final…

2. I’m having my sixth cup of coffee today. That’s normal, right?

3. I'm grumpy, because I haven’t had a good night's sleep in over a week.

4. Why do I have so much responsibility? I may be in college, but I still don’t know how to be an adult and function in society.

5. You finally venture out of your room or the library to get food, and you wolf down every piece of food in front of you.

6. Those moments when you reconsider your major and consider dropping out. You'll eventually snap out of it and realize that life will go on -- even if you don't pass.

7. There’s always that one person in your lectures who has the notes memorized word for word. What an over achiever.

8. The feeling when you take a break and look at your social media and see pictures of people partying and hanging out. How do you have time for this? Shouldn't you be studying?

9. Rewriting your notes and making flashcards and then realizing you don’t remember any of the information. Did I even attend class?

10. That feeling right before you enter the exam room. There is a large pit in your stomach, and you aren't sure if you're going to cry or throw up.

11. The amazing feeling after you've finished your finals and the school year, and now you can begin your summer!

This week may be tough but you'll work through it. Good luck on your finals! Think positive thoughts and you'll do great!

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.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. 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.
