Well, everyone, it is that time of the year again. The time where the coffee is flowing and sleep is a distant memory. The time where the library becomes your second home and 4 a.m. seems like an acceptable time to walk back to your apartment. Yup, it is finals week.
And whether you are a north or south campus major, I am sure we all can relate to these ten aspects of finals week. So, grab that caffeine and saddle up for one hell of a week.
1. Planning your life around coffee
If there is no coffee, there is no studying.
2. Getting distracted every five seconds
It is fine, it will get done somehow.
3. Avoiding writing your paper at all costs
Cleaned your room? Check. Bought all your Christmas gifts? Check. Meal prepped for the first time? Check. I mean, at least you are being productive right?
4. Setting your alarm for one hour "naps"
Cause you for sure aren't getting those eight hours of sleep.
5. Going shopping for "healthy study snacks"
Despite trying to be healthy, you end up buying Hot Cheetos and Oreos. It is okay, it is finals week.
6. Living in leggings and oversized sweatshirts
Oh, and no make-up.
7. Procrastinate by making your study playlist
I recommend Spotify Study Vibes. It has saved me multiple times.
8. Trying to reserve a study room at YRL or Powell
May the odds ever be in your favor.
9. Finishing two finals and trying to find the motivation to finish the last one
Think of it this way: You are three hours away from having the best slumber of your life.
10. Contemplating about your freedom
Honestly, I just want to cuddle with my dog and drink hot cocoa. Is that too much to ask?
Good luck! I know it has been a rough and insane fall quarter, but we just have one more week left! We can do this!
