Finals Week Syndrome: 15 Signs and Symptoms
AndPop

The end of the semester is finally upon us, which means Finals Week Syndrome (FWS) is spreading like wildfire. Summer seems like it will never get here, motivation is lacking and we feel the need to live-tweet every time we think we are "dying." Here are 15 signs that you too may be suffering from FWS.

1. You know you need to get your life together ASAP but you have zero motivation to do so.

"I'll start studying at 9:00 AM." *9:00 passes* "10:00 AM it is."

2. You finally convince yourself to study but soon realize none of your notes make sense.


Ain't nobody got time for this.

3. You join a study group to see if they can fill you in, but they are equally clueless.

Do you remember ever seeing this before? Surely it won't be on the exam.

4. You have worn the same T-shirt two days in a row and you really don't care.

Laundry and household chores become the least of your worries.

5. Your hair is 90% dry shampoo at this point.


I think we can all agree that dry shampoo is the best invention since microwave popcorn.

6. You drink coffee like it's water.


Extra coffee creamer please.

7. Your stress-level is 2007 Britney Spears.


I feel you, Brit.

8. You are trying (and failing) to keep track of everything you have to do in so little time.

Procrastination has reached an all time high.

9. You scheduled a five-minute nap and it turned into 3 hours of REM sleep.

It's sad when napping becomes the best part of your day.

10. You are becoming desperate, so you attempt to make studying fun.


I'm just trying to have a magical day.

11. You are too lazy to get groceries, so all you eat is fast food.

Cookout tray, anyone?

12. You finally sit down to take your exam and your professor says "good luck" with a smirk.

Well, gee, thanks!

13. Meanwhile, you are praying your GPA still has a slight pulse by the end of the week.

"Charging...300...clear!"

14. Your brain is so fried, you start to actually lose your mind.


What day is it again?

15. Finally, your FWS symptoms disappear the moment you turn in your last exam. "SCHOOL'S OUT! SCREAM AND SHOUT!"

Until we meet again, Finals Week Syndrome.

No matter how stressful finals week can get, we will all make it to summer with minimal damage, I promise. We are almost there! Good luck and happy studying!

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
