Finals week is upon us and it's time for our biannual, major freakout. Of course every professor you have assigns you a project, a 5-8 page explanation of that project, and a final exam as well. Every. Single. Professor. Hence all of the silently sobbing students you'll be seeing around campus for the next week.

Just looking at all the work you have to do can paralyze you. Seriously, working on individual projects, group projects, writing essays, and studying for finals in all your classes?! It's way too much and looking at the amount of work ahead of you is totally daunting...

And of course, even though you know just how much work you have to do, you procrastinate and put it off until the very last minute. Every single semester we tell ourselves we aren't going to do it, and every single semester here we are, the day before the final, pulling an all-nighter and "studying" frantically...AGAIN. When will we learn?

This is the point where you swear off all social contact until finals are over. Usually this works for a while, you turn your phone off for a few hours and are surprisingly productive, but sometimes you just need to vent to your friends about how stressed out you are! And hey, "study groups" are productive, right? RIGHT?

Oops, you got caught watching Netflix instead of studying. Again. You were doing so well but then you needed a break and that break may or may not have lasted for the entire season of the show you're binge watching. Why did you think it would be okay to start watching a new show right before finals in the first place?! Gotta pretend like you actually got something done today...

At this point, you're pretty much just shouting out any information that you actually do know. You may not know what anything about your Spanish final but you do remember random facts about chemistry so that has to count for something, right? No? Darn.

Everything besides finals is irrelevant at this point. Showering? Not important. Eating? Not important. Socialization? Not important. Breathing? Not important.

Normal functions start to become a problem. You know that point when you've been staring at your computer for hours upon hours and your eyes start to lose focus and then your mind kind of turns to mush? Yeah...that lasts pretty much the whole entire week...

Interacting with other students usually involves a contest of "who has it worse". Oh, you have two projects and three finals? Well I have two projects, three finals and an essay all due!

Absolutely no effort goes into your appearances this week. Why bother trying to look good when you're going to fail anyways? Comfort is key this week, so baggy sweatpants, huge t-shirts and un-brushed, messy hair is the style for the week, get used to it.

You celebrate as soon as they're done! Drinks to celebrate as soon as you walk out of that last final!
