The bags under your eyes are bigger than ever before. Your hair is unwashed. Your diet consists of all carbs and an unhealthy amount of caffeine. You're hungry, tired and exhausted. It's finals week, y'all.
Before you freak out, I suggest playing into my theory that Adele's hit "Hello" wasn't about a failed romance. Rather, the song was written regarding the struggles college students around the world face every end of term. Don't believe me? Just watch.
1. "I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet, to go over everything."
It's crunch time, and you just realized that you've only attended three of your Biology lectures this entire semester. You're probably trying to contact your prof ASAP to get that study guide or review lectures. Which, in that case, you show up during office hours only for your prof to say she's never seen you before in her life.
2. "They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing."
Weren't the previous rounds of finals like two weeks ago? I'm still really salty about it.
3. "I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be."
Spring break was like three weeks back. I'm not ready for this.
4. "When we were younger and free."
Remember when coloring in the lines was actually a grade? Or what about counting your ABCs? What happened to our liberation?
5. "I must have called a thousand times, to tell you I'm sorry."
By now you're calling your parents every day just to "catch up." You also send them an abundance of random "I love you" texts. It's just better you apologize before you get your transcript in the mail.
6. "I'm sorry for breaking your heart, but it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore."
Your parents have been through this a few times before. They honestly just want you to get a degree so you don't have to move back in after college. Just do what it takes to pass, OK?
6. "Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?"
You won't if you don't pass this exam.
7. "At least I can say that I've tried."
That's the main point. Bravo, kid. You gave it your best effort. But did you really?
There you have it. Adele is a lyrical god who fooled the entire population into thinking otherwise about her 2015 super-hit. Good luck with your finals coming up!
