17 Times Finals Week Turned You Into Stanley Hudson

1. When a professor tells you that the final exam won't be multiple choice.

2. You become so sleep-deprived that you can literally fall asleep in any place, at any time.

3. The library becomes your home, and you are NOT happy about it.

4. When someone tries to tell you to calm down, because finals aren't that big of a deal.

5. When a professor acts like their final is the only one you're taking.

6. The only thing that keeps you going throughout the week is comfort food, and your diet gets severely neglected as a result.

7. When you're in the library at 2PM and you daydream about what you normally would be doing if it weren't finals week.

8. You have no time to go to the dining hall or prepare a meal, so you have to get creative.

9. To the people that say they love finals week:

10. When someone tries to talk to you the night before a big exam.

11. And they blatantly ignore you and keep trying to hold a conversation anyway.

12. When you're in the middle of studying and your favorite song comes on.

13. Or you hear about the possibility of free food.

14. Eventually, your brain reaches capacity. This is when you have to give up on studying and just hope for the best.

15. That rare moment when you ace a final you thought you failed.

16. When you hand in your last exam and secretly want to say this to your professor.

17. At last!!! You've (barely) survived finals week and realize that you are now free to do absolutely nothing but sleep in your own bed and watch Netflix until next year.

Good riddance, fall semester. We won't miss you.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Photo by JESHOOTS.COM on Unsplash

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
