Some of the people who clicked this link are thinking, "Who loves finals week? Nerds?" And then there are others who clicked this link that are thinking, "Wow, what a nerdy Odyssey writer."

But it's true, I love finals week, and I know that, secretly, there are other finals lovers out there. Students who become low key hyped when the weeks wind down on the syllabus and Quizlet sets start being created.

Putting aside the stresses of finals week, there are many perks that make the last week of the semester rival the first. First, the augmented class schedule. Instead of sitting in class every single day of the school week, students only have to sit in class to take their tests. This cuts back almost more than half of the time spent in the classroom a week!

For students that know how to manage their time, the lax schedule of finals week creates more time to hang out with friends or watch a good Netflix series. Finals week lets you create your own schedule. If you're a night owl, stay up late studying and sleep all day, no judgement. If you're an early bird, wake up early to study and go out all night! No one questions any motives.

Finals week also lets you consume a mass amount of caffeine. For all of the coffee fans out there (i.e. the Lorelai Gilmores of the world) this means that you can enjoy steamy beverages whenever you want, and people will just assume you have something important to do -- be it packing or studying.

Finally, finals week allows the students on campus to become nostalgic. For some reason, no one seems to appreciate their university as much until the last week of school. The brink of leaving the place you've called home for the past nine months really brings out the Kim Kardashian-style tears. But this also allows you to understand and appreciate the friends, memories and places that make your school special.

So appreciate the stress and reap the benefits of finals week, because after the week is over? You won't have to sit in another classroom for at least another four months.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
