Finals week is upon us once again, the time where we all question are sanity and if the stress is worth the struggle (It 100% is). But in the frenzy of deadlines, papers, and 8 am finals it is easy to lose sight of the goal at the end. So here are song lyrics that sum up the thoughts of finals week or basically college life in general. Hopefully this will brighten your finals week...your not alone, we are all going through it so why not laugh a little in the process!
Basically what is going through your mind every morning :
"I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink" ~ The Beatles "I'm So Tired"
What you think when you see a happy child with no cares:
"Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out." - Twenty One Pilots "Stressed Out"
When your teachers assign yet another assignment on top of the million others:
"I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean" ~ Blue October "Into The Ocean"
When your teacher says your final WILL be cumulative:
"Take your best shot
Show me what you got
Honey, I’m not afraid
Rear back and take aim
And fire away" ~ Chris Stapleton "Fire Away"
When you realize that you're only half way through finals week:
"I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real " ~ Johnny Cash "Hurt"
What you want to reply with when someone ask if your alright:
"I'm dying and I'm trying
But believe me I'm fine
But I'm lying,
I'm so very far from fine" ~ Twenty One Pilots "Fall Away"
EVERY DAY feeling:
"Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell" ~ Matchbox 20 "Unwell"
EVERY night:
'You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind" - The Beatles "I'm So Tired"
When your parents tell you its going to be okay stop stressing:
"Can't you see the pain I'm going through?I'm just barely alive.
Everything is fallin' darker every day and every night
like I thought it would."- Jompson Bothers "Barely Alive"
When you look at a exam and draw a blank:
"I'm a goner
Somebody catch my breath" ~ Twenty One Pilots "Goner"
When you walk out of a final and everyone is talking about what they thought the answers were:
"Don't think twice, it's all right" - Bob Dylan
When finals week is FINALLY over and you're trying to be positive:
"A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last" ~ Counting Crows " Long December"
I could continue to go on for the music is infinite, by however I have finals myself to study for. So best of luck to everyone!
