40 Thoughts Every College Student Has During Finals Week

The dreaded finals week is upon us. Feeling stressed, alone, sad, hungry, on the verge of a mental breakdown? Don't worry, you are not alone. Finals is a time for self-reflection, no sleep, and existential crises. Take a break from the books to have a laugh and make yourself feel a little better about your thoughts this week. Here's 40 thoughts that we are all thinking this finals week.

1. Finals week is so far away

2. FINALS START THIS WEEK?!

3. But I haven't learned anything yet!

4. How many more episodes of this show can I watch before I need to start studying?

5. Maybe I should start studying.

6. Fuck this, I'm out.

7. Will the Dominos guy judge me for ordering 3 days in a row?

8. How can I learn an entire semester's worth of material in 12 hours?

9. I'm buying a therapy dog.

10. Well, if I study in the med school library and meet a doctor husband it doesn't matter what I get on my finals...right?

11. Is it too late to withdraw from this class?

12. If eating were a major, I would get an A.

13. One bad grade won't affect my life as a movie star.

14. Should I say goodbye to my friends since I'm failing out this semester?

15. C's get degrees and D stands for diploma.

16. Do I dare trek to the library?

17. I heard if you get hit by a bus, you get free tuition.

18. Maybe I should be a stripper instead.

19. What's the lowest possible grade I could get on this exam and still pass the class?

20. Is it socially acceptable to listen to Justin Bieber while I study? No? Oh well, I'm doing it anyway.

21. Idea! Maybe I should check Facebook again?

22. Oh wait, it hasn't changed since the last time I checked one minute ago.

23. Why did I come to college?

24. I need more coffee.

25. There are no open outlets in the library...it's like the Hunger Games but for outlets.

26. That's a sign I shouldn't study.

27. Back to Netflix it is.

28. I need a drink...or 10.

29. Is it okay to go out tonight if I have an exam at noon? Oh YEAH it is.

30. Wow I feel like I got punched all over my body.

31. There are no tears left to cry.

32. I need my Mom.

33. If I break my arm, will I still have to take my test?

34. Do I seriously need this class to graduate?

35. 7:30 exams are a sick form of torture.

36. When was the last time I ate...

37. The groufit is real.

38. S.O.S.

39. BRB jumping in the lake!

40. I can't wait to go home and sleep forever.

Good luck friends — keep on struggling, you're almost there. When it gets to that dark time in the library and you can't help feeling alone, just remember, someone is feeling the same way as you. Go for the gold!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
