'Twas The Week Before Finals

It's the most stressful time of the year.

'Twas the week before finals and all through the campus, students were scurrying about trying to save their grades in one last attempt before their final tests to be taken. Although you try as hard as you might to stay on top of your assignments but all of your professors laugh in your face, wag their finger and say "Not this semester." *cue evil laugh*

If you're like most students, this is sadly a normal occurrence. When it gets to this time of the semester, sometimes you get super motivated and get all your work done, while others take up various forms of procrastination. Below you will find several different kinds of people when it comes to finals week.

1. The productive one.

I am jealous of these people. They are on top of every assignment and have already studied for weeks before.


2. The one who tries to be productive, but just cannot.

I cannot express how much this is so true. I will have the day planned out, only to realize I laid in bed for half of the day.

3. The one who acknowledges their lack of productivity.

You know you're not productive, and frankly, you jut don't care.

4. The one who is productive, but not in the homework department.

Well, one of my friends is basically half way moved out of her apartment.

5. The one who crams the night before the final.

These are the people who will regularly pull all-nighters to study or write papers.


Finding these college kids so saddened with despair, some professors decide to make their lives easier by making the optional final or adding a curve to the final, happiness fills the air.

Happy week before finals to all, and to all a stressful week!

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.

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.
