Game Of Thrones Does College Finals

The World Of Westeros Isn't So Far Away From The World Of Finals On College Campuses

Apr 25, 2016

As students begin gearing up for finals, the world of college becomes more and more like the world of "Game of Thrones." Tensions are high and you can smell the stress in the spring air, it's finals time on college campuses and if you ask any of the Northerners what's going on they'll surely tell you, "finals are coming."

You will have to guard your spot in the library like its Winterfell in Season 3.

During finals not only do you live, breathe, and eat in the library, but you're also responsible for guarding your spot from desperate peers looking for that perfect cubby to review Chemistry notes in for six hours a day. Remember- a Sociology major always pays their debts.

You will have to watch as your friends go out without you.

There comes a time in every college students life when they must allow their friends to go out without them. When the time comes just remember- you can always drink at your desk.

You will have to do battle with your school's printers.

There's no such thing as a reliable printer in college- especially during finals. Make sure to print out your essays at least a day before it's due. No one wants to pull a Dornish terror scream in public at 8:30 in the morning.

You will be tempted to give up completely and walk into the flames of destiny.

Finals is a challenging time for all college students but do not give up. Get organized, get a snack and get your life together. The Khaleesi would be proud.

You will have to prove yourself to older, wiser TAs.

If they weren't know-it-alls they wouldn't be TAs. Just remember that when your struggling through finals your TAs will be there for some extra guidance.

You will eventually get through the Game of Thrones- I mean- finals.

Like all things (shoutout to 7 seasons of GoT), finals will end. As long as you keep your act together, study and never EVER trust Littlfinger, you will make it out alive and possibly do so in front of a dramatic explosion.

Finals are hard and medieval political intrigue is too, but with the right attitude and the right HBO subscription, you will survive.

Do whatever it takes to get through finals, but under no circumstances become a Joffery. No one likes a Joffery.

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.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
