Even the most famous of pop stars have those days.

Hell Week: As Told By One Direction

You wake up on Monday morning still a bit disoriented from all your weekend shenanigans.


You're half asleep but somehow make it to the right classroom on time.


Just in time for the professor reminds you of the exam coming up in a few days.


And they hand out the study guide with a list of topics.

Well, at least your next class isn't too bad.. at the end of it the professor even declares a "no homework" day!


"So you have time to work on your 27-page essay"


So you and your squad decide to go to the library. No messing around.



But you quickly realize there are other things in life, more important than school. Like Facebook, or this cool article on the history of rubber duckies.



Then there's that one friend who reminds you that you should be studying.



Besides, you have to make a laundry run.



And it would be really silly to walk all the way back to library when you'll have to change the laundry again in an hour anyways. Maybe its time for a nice little break.



Oh what's that? It's 2 a.m.? Well, you can't possibly be expected to study at this hour.


But then there's that 8 a.m. class...



Nahhh ain't nobody got time for that.


5 minutes till class-- it's okay, you can make it.



6 minutes late? No biggie, just use your super suave ninja skills to grab a seat in the back row. Nobody will notice...



Nailed it.



Oh crap. That cute guy is sitting right there.


Wait a minute, is the professor about to hand back a test?



Okay deep breaths, deep breaths. How bad could it possibly be?


Whatever. You have to get to your next class across campus anyways. And you can't be late again so no stopping to talk with friends.


Ahhhh just in time. Wait a minute...Nuhuh I've been sitting there all semester and don't have time for this.



You might be having trouble staying awake by now, but you still need those participation points so get that hand up!


Then you and a friend decide to go kiss up a bit at office hours. Show the professor how ahead of the game and on top of your stuff you are.



Okay...back to the library. And this time you absolutely refuse to leave until you're done with that essay and studying for you exam.


Hmmm, maybe some music will help you focus.



But then your friend comes over and ask how you did on that test.



They got an A. Of course.



But once they leave you finally get a few good pages of bulls*** in.



NO! STAY AWAKE DAMMIT!



Okay quick snack break. All you need is some good ol' brain food.



Next thing you know, you've only got 3 hours left before you need to turn in that paper!



What are those people at the other table talking about? The same professor gave them both extensions?!



Fine. Whatever. Just study for this exam and then you can go to sleep.



5 a.m.? Screw this-- I'm joining the dropping out joining the circus.



Alright keep it together! One more exam and then you're done.

Keep. It. Together.


The next day when the professor first hands out the exam you look at it like"


But wait a minute, you might actually know a couple of these...



And then exactly an hour later you walk out of that room like



It may have been a rough week, but it was all worth it in they end.


The relief spreading across campus is palpable.


You survived the week of hell.

But then it hits you...


It's only Wednesday.



Good luck everybody!

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.
