If there's anyone cut out to tell the story of finals week, it's Kevin Hart.

Sunday

For finals week first comers, the road to a successful semester has a mysterious ending. How should I be studying? Wait, I have to know 120 terms by Wednesday? How is this even legal? All of these questions are very valid and common. For finals weeks’ professionals, the stress is still there, but the techniques have been mastered. For both types of finals week participants, though, no one has any idea what is going on and it’s just a frenzy of stress and confusion.

Monday

It’s the last day of classes for the semester, but all thoughts are on finals. The mountains of study guides are piling up and taking up 100% of your bed. The unknowings of whether you pass this semester is making you want to just lay down and sleep forever. And let’s not forget your favorite Netflix show just came out with new episodes.

Tuesday

Binge studying is what every student is probably going through, as well as Netflix withdrawals and sheer uncertainty. The library is a great place to study, but it also is the most emotional place to be. Everywhere you turn you are bound to see at least 10 mental breakdowns going down. It is a very emotional and stressful time of finals week because it is the last full day to just study and prepare for your upcoming exams.

Wednesday

The magical day has finally arrived. All semester this coveted day has been awaited by everyone. The day that finals officially begin. Now this does not mean people stop studying, it just means that during your study break you get to take a final. Hopefully you feel confident in all your course material, but either way anything can happen once you walk into your classroom and sit in your seat.

Thursday

After having at least one final up your sleeve, you are hopefully met with a new-found confidence. Either you realized you were stressing over nothing or you now know how to prepare differently for you remaining finals. Worst case scenario: you begin to question every minute of every day since the beginning of the semester and you rethink your whole life. That is the complete extreme. Hopefully.

Friday

The weekend is so close. Only a few tests separate you from a much needed break. After working so hard you can start to see that the end is very near. After nonstop studying, a relaxing few days is what you need to prepare for the next week. Plus, for those lucky few, Friday marks the last day of finals so you are finally free to pack up and go home. For those who still have a few more days of finals to go next week, hang in there; you are doing great!

Saturday

The weekend is finally here. Everyone take a huge sigh of relief. The fun of having no finals and getting to hang out with your friends is so exciting. Go out and enjoy your time. Some may even get to go home and see their family and friends from home. For the unlucky some who still haven’t finished the marathon we call finals week yet, at some point during the day you might remember that you still have some studying to do and that all this fun will soon come to a halt. However, don’t worry that is why Sunday exists.

Happy Winter Break!
