Things We All Experience During Finals Week

Finals is a very sad time for us college students because we are all so close to going home for winter break and not having to worry about assignments and studying for a month, but we also have to worry about passing our classes and our exams. It's really a very dramatic, chaotic and stressful week and all of those things describe the Kardashian's perfectly which is why they really do a good job of explaining how we feel.

1. Being so tired from spending long nights or early mornings studying.


2. Accidentally snapping at your parents because you are so stressed and their advice is always "study harder." But they really don't always get the kind of stress you're under.


3. Putting in more effort than you have all semester and then the teacher gives you one more thing last minute.


4. Looking at material you should be studying and wondering how you have even made it this far through the class because it looks like a foreign language to you now.


5. Literally spending all your free time in the library or crying in your room because you're so overwhelmed.


6. Power studying for so long that even when you check your phone hours later for a "study break" you have no notifications therefore no distractions.


7. When your friends turn down group studying with you even though you're so bored by yourself it's crazy.


8. When your teacher doesn't even give a study guide or anything concrete for you to go off of for the final exam so you have to just fend for yourself.


9. When plot twist, there is no final exam it's just a project.


10. Looking back at the notes you took all semester.


11. That person that "doesn't even have to study because they know everything."


12. Just finals week in general.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
