The last week of the semester is finally here. Good news: only one more week of classes. Bad news: it's a week of exam hell. Late nights, caffeine, and grouchy college students are what you have to look forward to. Here's how you'll know it's finals week.
1. You can't find a parking spot.
Finals week is the time for all of the habitual skippers to show up and wing the final. To be honest, they'll probably do better than those who came to class every day because that's just how college works. Totally unfair.
2. You can find all of the students in the library.
If you're wondering why campus looks like a ghost town, it's because everyone is in the library. My advice for you is to not venture to that part of campus during finals week, unless you absolutely have to study in the library. In that case, good luck.
3. You live by the phrase "Sleep is for the weak."
There's no time for sleep when you have two papers, six exams, and one presentation due.
4. But then you crash ... hard.
5. You find yourself crying at the most inappropriate times.
Lack of sleep + the stress of finals week = hysterical crying during the middle of an exam.
6. You wear the same pants multiple days in a row.
Somehow I always end up wearing my favorite pair of pants almost every day of finals week. I can't help it that they're so comfy!
7. No one is answering their phones.
Don't expect anyone to respond, because we're all too busy studying or wallowing in our self pity.
8. You contemplate dropping out and becoming a stripper.
We've all thought about it at least once.
9. But then you remember you're not very coordinated so you decide to stay in school.
Not all of us had the privilege of being born with amazing dancing skills, so back to school it is.
10. There are plenty of parties to choose from on Friday night.
Here's to the end of finals and hoping we all passed!
