Why Pre-Finals Week Is Worse Than Finals

And you thought finals were hard.

Why Pre-Finals Week Is Worse Than Finals
Bailey Albert

It's here- the week before finals week.

Pre-week to finals week is 100x worse than actual finals week because you kinda feel like you're in Finding Nemo and you are Norman and your finals are Bruce.

Try not to panic...

Because pre-finals week means you have two weeks left, and then it's summer where you can relax or at least get a good night's rest.

But until then, you have to suffer through the week before finals week.

For those of you that are freshman, have had an easy college career or are actually taking college seriously for once, I have laid out what pre-finals week will most likely be like.

Monday:

It's the start of the week, you're feeling good. You'll probably lay out the entirety of your study plans and make sure you stick to them to a T.

Tuesday:

You already feel behind because you thought you penciled in enough time to eat dinner with Suzy, get to the gym for a light workout, and study for three classes at the same time, but you won't fret because you know you can simply get on track again.

Wednesday:

You haven't slept for more than three hours a night because your professor threw an assignment at you that's due the day of your final. Oh, and you're most likely using the heck out of your baseball caps and dry shampoo because let's face it, you haven't had time to properly shower.

Thursday:

Holy crap. How did it become Thursday already?! You don't know- but you do know that Class A and C finals have to get more study time than Class B, D and E finals because Class A and C finals are harder even though Class B, D and E finals are first.

Friday:

Going out? Nope. You don't have time, you want to relax, but it's just too much risk that if you do you will lose all that precious study time, or you could maybe sleep...

Saturday:

Wow you're hungover. Your friends convinced you to go out to relieve some stress because you were starting to find some gray hairs, but now all you want to do is eat a burger, watch Netflix/nap, and not do anything for the day. Somehow, though, you'll find motivation to get to the library.

Sunday:

This is it. And this day can go either way- you will either pull an all-nighter and study until your brain is full.

Or you'll accept the fact that you just went through Hell Week, and there is nothing more you can do about it.

Best of luck to all of you that are about to go through pre-finals week, I'll be praying for you, and congratulations to all the graduating seniors- you made it!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
