Before we can get to the most wonderful time of the year, we have to survive the most horrible week of the year. Yup, I'm talking about the finals week before winter break. At best, you'll only have to withstand intense studying, no sleep, and a load of stress. At worst, you'll get all that, plus mental breakdowns, papers, group projects, work, and sports to really make your life a horror show. However, a comedy show like "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" may understand the plight of finals week more than one would think. So, as you prepare for exams, here is a humorous look at finals week as told by the Paddy's Pub gang of Charlie, Dennis, Mac, Dee, and Frank:
When it finally hits you that it's finals week.
When your teacher says the final is cumulative.
When the teacher asks you what you're doing after the final.
When your friends ask you to study with them and you say you aren't even going to bother trying.
When you've pulled an all-nighter and want to talk about anything besides school stuff.
When an exam miraculously turns out to be easier than you thought.
When you get food with your friends right after you took an exam you know you failed.
When your teacher tells you that the exam isn't that bad...
When you partied the night before a final and everyone can tell.
When your teacher watches you and all of your classmates struggle with the exam.
When that one friend with only one exam offers to take you out for a break...
And when you're just too dazed and confused to understand them.
When your teacher says something will "probably" be on the exam.
When you hear the words "in-class essay."
When you're studying and start taking pills to keep you awake.
When sleep overpowers you anyway.
When your friends start talking about how easy their finals have been.
When you first get a look at the exam.
When you and your friends find some brief time to hang out.
When the teacher says there's five minutes left in the exam and you're not done yet.
When someone asks during finals week if you're passing all your classes.
When you're absolutely burnt-out but know that the week is almost over.
When you and your friends finish all your exams.
When you realize you can now go home for the holidays.
