11 Horror Movies That Are Actually Not As Scary As Finals Week

These characters don't seem to understand what real fear is: realizing at 11:45 p.m. that you have a paper due at midnight.

11 Horror Movies That Are Actually Not As Scary As Finals Week

Well, it's finally here. The week you've been dreading since the semester began: finals week. Get ready for operating on an insanely small amount of sleep, stuffing your brain full of last minute memorizations and wanting to murder everyone in your path. Sometimes it feels like some people just don't understand how bad finals week can be, right? Like, these horror movies are nothing compared to what we have to go through.

Here are 11 famous horror movies that are definitely not as bad as finals week:


1. "Friday the 13th"

Oh, you had to go to a summer camp? Watch some kids, hang out at the lake, have weird cabin sex with Kevin Bacon? What a hard time. I'll be more scared of the upcoming Friday, May 13th, because I have two finals that you can bet your ass will pop up faster than Jason's corpse in the lake.

2. "The Blair Witch Project"

C'mon, guys, just get a GPS and calm the hell down. Maybe if you tried asking this so-called witch for directions, she'd help you out. Maybe she was just pissed cause she heard you calling her some old hag who kidnaps kids. Also, do you know how much I'd prefer to be living in the woods right now? I might. I might go to the woods. Forget college.

3. "Nightmare on Elm Street"

Okay, this one actually makes me mad. You're afraid of sleeping? Do you know the last time I slept? Me neither, bucko. Freddy Krueger can send those press on claws right through my heart if it means I get to actually sleep at night. Also, I have four essays due this week. Death by Krueger would probably give me an automatic 4.0.

4. "The Ring"

While I'm living in the woods, I may also go and climb myself down that well with Samara and pull the cover over it. No one can make me do my finals down here. It's nice.

5. "Rosemary's Baby"

God, your apartment is nice. Like, fine, the whole devil baby thing is a little inconvenient, but you can afford an apartment like that in New York City? You have no real problems. I'll be lucky if I can afford a nice box to live in after I fail these finals and have to leave school.

6. "The Shining"

Actually, you know what? "The Shining" is probably the same amount of bad as finals. That scene where Jack Nicholson is typing the same sentence over and over and over is me trying to reach the essay word limit at 11:58 p.m.

7. "Silence of the Lambs"

Honestly, Hannibal Lector is a genius. I would ask him to tutor me in exchange for just about anything. Buffalo Bill can chill with his lotion a bit longer.

8. "Jaws"

I wish I could put all my homework on a surfboard and send it out to sea so Jaws would devour it all, thinking it was a person. Those sailors didn't know how lucky they had it.

9. "The Exorcist"

Fun fact: a lot of the exorcism scenes were filmed in the basement of Keating Hall here at Fordham. So, like, this is already our reality. Also, do you think if I were possessed then the demonic entity would have to take my finals instead of me? Cause that's totally fine.

10. "Carrie"

Listen up, kids. All proms suck. So yours had a little more blood, what of it? I wish I was at a dance, but no, I'm here writing a paper on Aristotle and the only thing bleeding is my heart.

11. "Paranormal Activity"

Oh, I'm so sorry your ghosts wake you up at night sometimes. I wake up every night during finals in a cold sweat thinking about how I'll have to explain my B- Anthropology Exam on my grad school applications in two years.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
