A guide To Finals Week (As Told By The Avengers)

In honor of the end of Finals Week, it only makes sense that we devote a small tribute to the terrors of collegiate year-ends with some of the toughest heroes of them all. Without further ado, here's Finals Week as told by the Avengers!

1. When you reunite with your friends after Thanksgiving Break

2. Then suddenly you realize exactly how much you have to study for in the next two weeks

3. So naturally you get together with your friends for some late night study sessions

3. Of course, there's always that one person who has their life together (and you don't quite know how)

4. Then they try to explain their method to you but you wish they'd just stop

5. At some point, you hit a barrier where you just want the whole ordeal to be over

6. And then you hit another barrier where none of you can focus for more than 3 seconds at a time

7. Eventually you decide that it's a hopeless cause anyway, so you just head to bed

8. You wake up the following morning with an overwhelming sense of dread

9. But deep down you still want to make a grand entrance because you're almost done

10. You can't help but hope that your cram session actually made some kind of difference

11. But it's hard to remain hopeful when you get stuck on the first question

12. Meanwhile, you notice that one show-off in the class already turning his test in

13. There's an incredible leap of joy as you finally see a question you can answer

14. Which only lasts until you're staring at the test and wondering whether or not you should turn it in

15. You walk out with what can only be described as "mixed" feelings

16. On your way out of the room, the professor may ask if you want to see your results

17. Which of course prompts the know-it-all to remind you exactly well he scored

18. Meanwhile, your friends back in high school are constantly asking how Finals Week is going

19. And your college friends are all debating who had the worst experience of the day

20. But then you realize you're only through the first day of a very, very long week

21. So you push through the next few days, knowing that it will all be worth it when you see your friends and family again

22. Just hold out a few more days and it will all be worth it

23. Just maybe after a very long nap

24. And a lot of pep talks

25. And probably some sorting through your emotions

26. But despite everything else going wrong, you're determined to keep going

27. Because no matter how hard it gets


28. The worst is behind you

29. And because no matter what happens

30. You can get through it, and that's all that matters

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.

winter

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.
