Stressing out during final exams is an inevitable part of being a college kid.  We slack off during the semester, going out every night of the week and watching every season of Dexter on Netflix, only to end up hating ourselves during finals week.  Well, the time has come.  And while chances are you've spent most of your week scrolling through Facebook and viewing everyones' Snapchats of their Starbucks cups instead of making flashcards, there is hope for you yet.  Taking a look at these celebrities who dropped out of school will either give you glimmers of hope for your future or make you feel better about your current situation--either way it's sure to turn your finals week around.
