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!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
