1. This won't be so bad.
This mindset typically sets in during the week before finals, often referred to as "hell week." It's a combination of optimism that you'll budget your studying time well and hope that actual finals week will beat the craziness of hell week.
2. This is harder than I thought it'd be.
The reality of what's about to happen is setting in.
3. What have I gotten myself into?
Things are getting real.
4. I can drop out; it's fine.
Who needs college? There are plenty of other options out there.
5. I need all the food.
Let's pretend the calories consumed during finals week don't count. Okay? Okay.
6. I deserve a Netflix break.
Who cares if it lasts for seven straight episodes?
7. Sleep is for the weak.
We all know all nighter's aren't worth it, but that doesn't stop us from trying.
8. Why didn't I spend more time studying?
Why'd I waste those extra few minutes sleeping?
9. I'm so not ready for this.
Why didn't I prepare for this?
10. When did we learn this?
11. I shouldn't have skipped class.
12. AHHHHHH
13. That wasn't so bad.
I'll register for a few more semesters. Why not pile on the crippling debt and debilitating work load?
