10 Thoughts You Have During Finals Week

Oh, finals week... The time of eating too much and not sleeping enough-- We're all in the same stressed out boat. Whether you're in high school or college, you know the struggle is real. Here are 10 things everyone goes through during the dreaded finals week.

1. Realizing you REALLY should have written that down during lecture because you won't "just remember it"


2. Planning your night like "If I study until 11:30 I can sleep until 5:30 and get about 6 hours of sleep and then study for another two hours before class" and still being exhausted the next morning

3. Eating an entire pint of ice cream isn't that bad... right?

4. Only lightly sobbing when you see you need a 125% on your final to get your 75% in math to an A-

5. When you've been starring at a blank page for an hour attempting to type a 12-page paper, trying to convince yourself not to drop out now

6. Reading the same sentence over and over again and not comprehending it because you're so. damn. tired.

7. Walking out of the library thinking it's 9pm but its 2am

8. Emailing professors subtly begging for any point of extra credit they can offer

9. Complaining to everyone about how you don't want to be studying and just want sleep

10. That glorious moment when you finally finish and you're able to lay in bed and relax. But then realize you completely forgot to do something, but you're too tired to care.

Even though finals are a complete struggle bus, we all get through it someway or another. Eat all of the ice cream and drink all of the coffee you want, and just know in a week you'll be free to sleep in until noon again. Best of luck on all of your finals!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?
