11 Things You Experience During Finals Week

Finals week -- it should actually be called Hell week. Because. It. Is. Hell. It is the time of the semester that we all dread (and at the same time wait for because we want it to end already). Nonetheless, it is the most stressfull time of the entire semester, and it will make you want to pull your own hair out. Here are 11 things you notice during this special week.

1. Parking is even more limited than usual.


It's 7 a.m. and you realize there's no parking. Yup, it's finals week at FIU.

2. People actually show up to class.

You'll spend your time in class wondering, "Who the hell is that?"

3. Coffee lines grow beyond proportion.


Want Starbucks? Einstein's? Dunkin'? Bustelo? #GoodLuck

4. Group chat overload.


"Did you study?!" "Send me your notes please." "Omg **** this!"

5.You'll be more sleep deprived than usual.


Bags under my eyes are usually my signature trademark, but when it's finals week, it starts to look more like a black eye.

6. You realize that it's time to actually look at your notes.


Of course, this is when you realize that you probably didn't take notes, or you can't understand them.

7. And you open your textbook for the first time.


So this is what I paid 80 dollars for.

8. You panic when you remember that the final is cumulative.


You suddenly realize that you've forgotten everything since the midterms.

9. You'll cry at least once.


You might even cry when you open the exam and realize that you might be pretty screwed this semester.

10. You'll find yourself in the Christmas spirit, but are still forced to take finals


11. When it's over, you'll push the suffering to the back of your mind. Till' next time.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
