Every college student dreads finals week. Coming back from Thanksgiving break, already in the holiday spirit, and we're being consumed by the stress of finals and grades. Personally, the only thing that gets me through finals is thinking about the holidays and Christmas. "Elf" is one of the best holiday movies and definitely the funniest. I think we can all relate to Buddy the Elf more than we know during finals week.

Stress eating during finals week is at an all time high. You hoard Oreos, potato chips and other junk food in your desk drawer waiting for the perfect time to stuff your face when no one is watching. You're hoping the sweets will ease your anxiety and bring you some comfort, but you can't afford the calories after the Thanksgiving feast and before you go home to delicious home-cooked meals every night.

You walk across the parking lot or the street wishing a car would hit you because then you would be free of the stress and you wouldn't have to take your finals. At this point in the semester, that seems like a better option. You might even get some free tuition money out of it.

I don't know about anyone else, but half the time I'm studying, I'm really thinking about what I'm going to do over break. All of your friends are home and you have no school work to get done. It's completely stress-free. There is so much to plan and so much fun holiday activities to do.

You have exactly two weeks to get your grades up. You're trying to get extra credit from your professors like....

When you realize that you didn't do anything you were supposed to over Thanksgiving break, and now you have less than two weeks to do five papers, study for seven tests and do three projects, you kind of hate yourself for it. You were definitely being a cotton-headed ninny muggins.

When professors pile on more work during finals week as if we don't have enough things to worry about, it's safe to say they disgust you. Maybe they are the cotton-headed ninny muggins. It's even worse when you go to their office hours looking for some extra guidance or advice and they don't help you a bit.

Son of a nutcracker! It's 11:58 and you forgot to submit your final exam that is due at 11:59. Or you messed up a question on the final exam even though you know you knew the right answer. Or when you realized you forgot to study a part of a chapter and your professor decided to ask ten questions on that one section.

I think almost every college student breaks down and has to call their mom during finals week to calm you down. She tries to reassure you that you will do just fine and she loves you no matter what grade you get, but she's lying. You know everything will not be fine, and when grades come out a few weeks later and you have a low grade in a class or two, you will receive the wrath of your parents. Parents, you sit on a throne of lies.

That moment when your teacher emails you with your grade on the final exam and it was actually pretty good. You're as excited as Buddy the Elf when he finds out Santa is coming.

And when it's finally all said and done and you're free of the fall semester....Congratulations! You did it! World's Best Student!
