A Day During Finals Week as Told by 'How I Met Your Mother'

A day during finals week can be unbelievably productive or disappointingly slow but usually it is a bit of both. In reality, I just spend most of the day looking forward to going back to sleep and having finals being over.

Better eat a good breakfast, I’m going to be in the library forever.

OK, it’s only 10:30, time to get set up; you have the whole day ahead of you.

Go ahead and check social media one last time -- you deserve it.

HOW IS IT ALREADY 1? I’VE BEEN HERE FOR LIKE TWO HOURS ALREADY.

OK, time to get some work done.

Three Hours Later.

So, I’ve finished one assignment, now I only have… five more to go…

How do I still have so much to do?!

I deserve a break before the next assignment I start.

I have too much to do, I don’t even want to deal with this.

But finally, it will be over...

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along.

Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
