23 Times College Students Channel Their Inner-Grinch During Finals Week

Whether it's the Christmas season or not, the Grinch is an icon. He's sassy, hates himself, and hates people, so he's essentially all of us on some level. Though he's relatable to everyone, his quips perfectly describe college students during finals week, easily the worst week of the semester.

Here are 23 times the Grinch was any college student coping with finals week struggles.

1. Waking up angry that you have so much to accomplish in one day

2. Heading to Starbucks for a caffeinated pick-me-up only to see that the line is a mile long

3. But realizing that a Starbucks latte actually does not have the power to solve your problems

4. Finding out that your final exam is a group project and you’re stuck working with idiots

5. Flipping through your textbook trying to understand a semester’s worth of information

13. When your prof complains about all the grading that they have to do

14. When that same prof makes the final exam easier just so they don’t have as much grading to do

15. When you’re so tired of shoving knowledge into your brain that you decide to shovel food into your mouth instead 

Source

16. But then feeling guilty for not devoting all of your time to studying 

Source

17. You to your bed after a long night of studying 

Source

18. When you hear students from the section before you talking about the exam questions 

Source

19. Your brain right before an exam 

Source

20. Looking at a question on the exam knowing that you studied that specific thing in your notes but having no clue what the answer is 

Source

21. Walking out of an exam knowing that you bombed it 

Source

22. Walking out of an exam knowing that you aced it 

Source

23. You when you’re done with your last exam and you can finally enjoy winter break

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
