It's finals season all around college campuses and stress levels are rising on the daily. Locking yourself in the library and kissing your social life goodbye are common activities for every student near this time. In order to bring a little light into this stressful time of year, here are some common thoughts from college students during finals season from the cast of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt".
1. Coming back to school after Thanksgiving break and realizing there's only a few weeks left in the semester for you to pull your grades up.
How is it already December? When did my grades get this bad?
2. Laughing a little extra when your professor makes a joke hoping they’ll somehow round your 69 to an 80.
*aggressive laughing turns into hysterical sobbing*
3. Logging into Blackboard and seeing your grades and realizing how much work you need to do in order to finish the semester with a good GPA.
Oh my God. That can’t be right. What have I been doing all semester?
4. When your friends ask, “How was your final?”
*Hunger Games whistle plays in the background*
5. Studying and looking at your notes like...
What does any of this even mean?
6. When people in your class ask if something will be on the final but you have literally no memory of learning that and absolutely no idea what they are talking about.
No, really, what is going on?
7. Pretending like you have it all together when your mom calls and asks how you’re doing.
I’m fine, it’s fine, everything is fine mom!!
8. When the person next to you is rambling on about how they’ve already been studying for weeks.
Okay we get it Becky, you can put away your color coordinated flash cards now!
9. Looking at the final exam schedule and seeing how many back to back exams you have.
Ok, Math 8-10 a.m., then History 11-1 p.m., then Stat 2-4 p.m.
10. Saying goodbye to your friends as you walk into your exam.
Will I make it out alive?
11. When you’re all out of meal swipes.
I haven’t been eating healthy this entire semester, what’s a few more days?
12. When your professor starts a new section during the last class before the final.
Is this a joke? This HAS to be a joke, right?
13. Trying to comfort your friends during their 3rd mental breakdown that week.
You’re doing great, sweetie!!
14. When you finally understand a problem you’ve been working on for hours.
HALLELUJAH! Now only 64 more…
15. Looking at the first question on the exam and realizing you’re doomed.
Well there goes the hours and hours I spent studying!!
16. Visual representation of what it feels like to be a college student to be finals season.
Me: 0 Finals Season: 1000000
17. Driving home for the holidays knowing very well that you did the best you can but it still probably wasn’t enough.
Well, there’s always next semester!!
