We all know Adele as the heartbreaking lyric belting singer that can make you miss an ex you never had, but what you may not know is how #accurate her songs describe the emotional turmoil of finals week.
1. Don’t You Remember (the time before finals…)
When will I see you again? Living in the library and permanently clutching a venti Starbucks coffee leaves you wishing for the good ol’ days before life got too real, and Adele gets it.
2. Chasing Pavements (and that A)
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements? Even if it leads nowhere or would it be a waste? Adele perfectly sums up the chase for that elusive A at the end of the semester, and the deep life-questioning internal conversations while pulling an all-nighter.
3. Set Fire to the Rain (and these papers)
There’s kind of no need to say anything more than this—the song builds up to a chorus that perfectly expresses the hair-pulling stress of fifteen page research papers.
4. Hello (to stress, panic, etc.)
That moment when you have a mini-breakdown in anticipation of the exam and Adele’s lyrics seem to resonate with your inner being.
