Last week, I was so tired that I told my friend that my coffee was broken.

Finals week: sleep is at a low, caffeine intake skyrockets, tears flow freely, and conversations get wacky. While we try to focus on the importance of studying and doing well on our tests, we also try to keep the big picture in mind with our goals. Usually, that big picture includes family and friends who support us through our successes and love us even when we send them text messages that don't make a lot of sense due to stress.

The Running Away From Our Problems Text

We know that we need to study or work on a project, but we need a brain break for some sweet treats sometimes.

The Pet Text

We miss our pups/kittens/cows/horses/other critters and we need to make sure that they know how much we love them, and that they still love us.

The "We're All In This Together" Text

You're having a rough time, I'm having a rough time, we're all having a rough time!

The Honest Text

All jokes aside, we are in college to get an education, and we know that. I'm forever grateful for friends who support my academic journey.

(I know this wasn't sent during finals week but physics is hard.)

The "It's-Gotten-To-This-Point-Of-The-Semester" Text

Nothing makes sense anymore and we're doing anything we can to get through the semester.

Finals week, man. I'll pray for you.
