Finals weeks are here again.

It's what you've been waiting for all semester.

1. When you start the week with confidence.

2. But it fades quickly.

3. When it's Monday of finals week and the barista tells you they're out of espresso.

4. When you realize your life revolves around your professor's life.

5. When you don't even try to look cute anymore.

6. When you look at that selfie you took last week and remember a time when you were happy.

7. When your friend says they don't have any finals.

8. When you cry yourself to sleep after a late-night study sesh.

9. When your roommate cries more than you do.

10. When you finally get serious about exams.


11. When you try to memorize the entire semester in one week.

12. When your friends ask if you have time to party the weekend before.

13. When you party anyways.

14. When you've been so anti-social that your friends have to intervene.

15. When Sam Smith comes on the radio and reminds you it's all meaningless.

16. When it's perfectly normal for you to break down in public.

17. When you call your parents and have to pretend you're not dying.

18.When your friend leaves the group to go take a final.

19. What you expect the professor to do.


20. What he really does.

21. When you're staring at that blank test and start to question everything.

22. When the test question literally makes no sense.

23. When you only skipped one of the readings all semester but the final's over the one you skipped.

24. When you realize an A is an illusion.

25. When you fill out that course evaluation.


26. When you try to warn others to not take that class.

27. When you've taken your last final but you're still in denial.

28. When you realize you've made it!

May the curve be ever in your favor!

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
