Ahhh it's that time of the year again. A dreaded time for all college students ,where we have to prove that we adequately learned the material from 14 weeks in a single hour to two-hour test. Where coffee and long nights are a necessity and its every person for themselves. No, no not the "Hunger Games"! Although, that is a possibility. I'm actually referring to finals week. Consistent across all semesters, there are a few tell-tale signs that make it painfully obvious that college students are going through struggles with their finals.

1. Everywhere that you turn there are students with coffee and/or energy drinks.

Everywhere! In the hands of students walking to class, leaving class. Empty containers and cups of it filling up the trashcans. But you have to get through this somehow right? (Hint- maybe adding energy drinks to your coffee isn't the best idea.)

2. The library has all of a sudden become the campus hot spot.

You know that "secret" spot that you always went to during the semester? Guess it wasn't such a secret at all. It just wasn't a hot commodity until this week. Better luck next semester.

3. Zombies. Zombies everywhere.

It's very obvious that a little bit of everyone had died. Sweats and pjs are appropriate attire.

4. You always have a mini heart attack when thinking of the days of the week.

Was your test yesterday?! Oh no, its actually in three days. Due on the same day as two projects and that 15-page paper. Whew! You were worried for a second.

5. You think of dropping out. Constantly.

Who needs a college education anyway,right? Look at all the successful people who didn't go to college. Really, you're going to better society by not going to college.

6. You wonder why procrastination is not a major.

There is nothing that you have done better in your life. Remember that time you left that research paper for the three hours before it was due? You still got it done! Now that's skill.

7. Friends? What are those?

You have not talked to your friends in days and it seems like you will always be lonely. You're pretty sure it was your best friend's birthday yesterday. That doesn't change the fact that you will send a "Happy birthday :)" text next week. Also, you will definitely not answer those 21 notifications you have because you're obviously "studying."

8. Instead of studying, you search up motivational quotes and pictures to motivate you to study.

Guilty as charged. Hey, maybe looking at all these people who are actually studying will motivate you to study. Or you will end up on the weird side of the internet again.

9. Or you try literally everything you had been meaning to do for the last year... instead of studying.

Because obviously this is the best time to clean your room duh! Or how about trying those recipes you always wanted? And then finish the day DIY-ing some frames. You don't really have to study now do you?

10. When you see the first question on the test and know for a fact you did not learn that. Ever.

Honestly, things from the first three weeks of classes should not even count as proper material anyway.

11. Someone starts sniffling during the final and you're not sure if they're sick or crying.

But you understand how they feel completely. You might have a few tears in your eyes as well.

12. When the last test of the week is over and you promise yourself you will never do what you did this week ever again.

Or you can pretend that you did extremely well on every test. Piece of cake.
