As a Junior in college, I still get very stressed when finals week comes around, as many do. If you are unsure about what finals week really entails, let me give you a brief overview.

It's the week of hell, where a lot of papers are due, students are trying to get last minute extra credit or any points they can and lastly, losing sleep to loads and of studying.

During this week you are either studying briefly on topics that were already taught throughout the semester, or you're teaching yourself an entire semester's worth of work that you either didn't understand or didn't pay attention at all during the semester.

For me, I can say I was that person who was losing sleep re-teaching myself topics that I didn't pay attention to. You would think for being a junior in college I would learn my lesson and pay close attention during the semester so this doesn't happen, but not at all.

This semester I had a total of five finals and I couldn't be happier that it is over. It's such a relief after a week of hell and lack of sleep, I could now just drive five hours home to my comfy warm king size bed with no worries. The feeling of having finals week complete is a fantastic feeling, but knowing that it will be back is terrifying.
