5 Times The Cast Of "Friends" Was You During Finals Week

YouTube

If you're in college, you have probably experienced ALL of these. Who better to tell it than the cast of 'Friends':

1. The entire week is defined by sleep deprivation.

Every night turns into a morning, and the amount of coffee that you have to drink just to stay awake is ENDLESS. By the time it's over, you have probably adapted a new skill that Chandler couldn't have said it any better himself when he said, "I just realized I can sleep with my eyes open".

2. You don't have any idea of where to begin.

Studying for tests and trying to manage your time before finals week was hard, so when comes time to organize your study schedule and somebody asks you if you have a plan, you will most likely give a very Phoebe response by saying, "A plan? I don't even have a pla-".

3. Sundays turn into a workday.

Sundays are usually the day where you relax, watch some Netflix in your bed and forget all of your responsibilities until the next morning when Monday kicks in again. But, for finals week, Sunday is just like any other day and there is no time to stop working. So when one of your friends tells you that you have to study on a Sunday, well, you probably respond with a slight sense of shock like Chandler by saying, "Its Sunday. I don't move on Sundays."

4. You didn't think you could feel as tired and weary as you do.

The amount of stress that finals put on us is incomparable to any other time of the year. There were probably other times where you think you hit rock bottom and did not think it could get any lower, and then you got here. Rachel was all of us when she said, "Today, there's rock bottom, then 50 feet of crap, then me".

5. Once you're done, you want to do nothing for the rest of your life.

By the time all of your tests are over, your deadlines are met, and your rental books are returned, it's finally time to go home. So when you walk in the door tired, beat, and hungry, and your mom asks you to do something for her, the only response is going to be to quote Phoebe and say, "I wish I could. But I don't want to".

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!

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during 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.
