By the time the end of the semester rolls around, it's hard to stay motivated. It's hard to go on. Your classes have already sucked all that you thought they could out of you and yet they keep demanding more.
One class wants a ten page paper, the other wants a group project and another wants you to make a significant contribution to society in about a week. Finals is what separates the children from the adults, but you don't have to do this alone.
Even if you think you do or if you want to do this alone, here's a playlist to keep you company anyway. Show finals week who's boss.
1. Final Countdown - Europe
We're almost there. We all know how many days are left until summer and we're all counting down. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
2. Stressed Out - twenty one pilots
This one doesn't really need an explanation, does it?
3. Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
You can do this! Eye on the prize champ, and by prize I mean summer.
4. Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift
Doesn't finals just feel like a big, dark, deep forest that you can't get out of?
5. Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees
Even when it seems like you can't go on, keep on stayin' alive. Even if it is just barely.
6. Drag Me Down - One Direction
Nobody can drag you down, not even that final you forgot to study for.
7. Ironic - Alanis Morissette
Finals week isn't complete without some classic angst and anger at the universe.
8. Focus - Ariana Grande
As hard as we all know it is, you just have to keep your head to you books and focus on studying and getting through.
9. Livin' On A Prayer - Bon Jovi
Divine intervention sometimes feels like the only hope we have left during exams.
10. Really Don't Care - Demi Lovato
For the hardcore only: yell what we're all thinking. "I REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU FINAL EXAM."
It'll be over before you know it. Have faith and godspeed, fellow collegiate.
