It's that time of the semester again; finals week. For me, it's better known as "the week where I avoid all my work until I have a nervous breakdown and cry." Luckily, we aren't alone in our struggle to make it through the week, because Marshall Eriksen from "How I Met Your Mother" knows exactly how we feel.
Here are 8 times Marshall Eriksen was you during Finals:
1. "How is studying going?"
But let's be honest, you spend half your day crying into your textbooks. Or into your latte.
2. Giving yourself a pep talk before your exam
More specifically, pouring a huge glass of wine (if you can even make it to the glasses), stripping off your clothes and then taking a nap.
3. When you do anything, I mean ANYTHING, to procrastinate studying
Not going to lie, I'm a sucker for a good pie chart. Especially when it means I'm putting off studying. In fact, while writing this I'm currently doing just that...putting off studying.
4. Going out on Thursday night even though you have an 8 a.m. final the next morning
Because we can't just not go out on a Thursday night. $2 vodka drinks and all the throwback Hip Hop music your heart desires.
5. When you've been studying for eight hours straight and start making even the simplest things complicated
But really though, have you ever thought about the names of fish? There's one called a Spiny Lumpsucker! Sounds more like something I would call my ex-boyfriend.
6. Convincing yourself that studying is actually worth the pain
In a few years when I'm in law school, this will be me for sure. I can make it through... I will make it through...
7. Walking out of your last final like
I'm running on one hour of sleep, three Red Bulls, an espresso and self-hatred. I did as well as I could.
8. The post-finals week celebration
This is every single one of us (that are of age) as soon as that last final is over. It doesn't matter if it's 12 a.m. or 8 p.m., give me all the alcohol.
