Any college student can tell you that April is the single worst time of the year. To the rest of the world, the phrase “April showers bring May flowers” says it all. It’s a time before the warmth of summer hits, and the time of irritating spring allergies. To those who haven’t yet experienced the college life, it is just a simply strange time of the year. But, to college students, it is a living nightmare. College students dread tearing the March page off of their calendars because they know that when April hits, finals are on their way. For college students, April is a time of procrastinating assignments, running aimlessly around campus trying to finish assignments, and figuring out financial aid for the next semester, all before finals in the first week of May. College students often have similar thoughts that float around their brains during this time of the year. Some thoughts are depressing and make you want to hide in your dorm with the lights off while others are just downright comical. Here are 42 of the most common things that you might hear from a college student around finals time.
