This week is probably the most stressful week of anyone who is in college, believe me, I understand. But to make light of a stressful situation, I have a few things that are also finished the same time finals are.

When finals are finished so is having to stay in due to homework. We can now go out and live like we just failed all of our final exams and we have to make different plans for college. We can drown our sorrows and celebrate our victories like the champs that we know we are (maybe, possibly).

When finals are finished, so is your sanity. You are allowed to go as crazy as you want in order to regain this sanity. Your brain probably will not work for at least 3 weeks; therefore if you ask me to do any math or anything that involves common sense really its not happening. I could probably commit a crime and plead temporary insanity after finals.

When finals are finished so are microwaved dinners. You get to go home to a nice home cooked meal and you don't have to think about hot pockets or toaster strudels for at least a month. If your mom is anything like mine you'll be coming home to fried chicken green beans from mamaws garden and real mashed potatoes.

When finals are finished, so are your responsibilities. Cut loose, stay up until 6 am because you want to not because you have to study. Don't shower because you want to not because you owe Cooper Library rent for the month of November. Finals week is over do the things you wanted to do and not because you were forced to do them!

I'm not saying finals week is the worst time of the year, but I'm not denying it either.
