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!
