Finals week is full of dread, stress, and tears. While it is by far the most miserable part of being in college here are some positive things that keep college students motivated for the final push of the semester.

1. Only 24 hours of no sleep and then I can sleep in for a month.

Let's be real, as college students we never get the recommended eight hours of sleep. During finals week the three hours of sleep we usually are able to squeeze in turns into zero. Luckily, as long as you don't have to work the morning shift over break, you'll be able to catch up on all those missing zzz's over break.

2. It's okay that I haven't had time to do laundry in a month, I'll just bring it all home to mom.

Let's be real, during finals week laundry is at the bottom of our to-do list. Especially when you know mom will do your laundry for free if you bring it all home.

3. This is the last cup of Easy Mac I'll have to eat for a whole month.

Good by canned goods, crappy cafeteria food, mac n cheese, and Ramin. Hello, mom's home-cooked meals.

4. All the puppy kisses waiting for me.

Let's be real, the family member we miss the most when we head off to school is our beloved pets. Knowing that the only thing standing between you and cuddles with your furball is one more test is sometimes the only thing that keeps you going.

5. Showering in your own shower, and sleeping in your own bed.

Nothing is better than going home to your own bathroom and shower. Especially if you're living the dorm life with the nice school issued mattresses, and cleanly public bathrooms.

6. I can finally have a social life again.

if you're anything like me school consumes your life during finals week and before you know it it has been a whole month since you've gone out with friends. Then you hit an all-time low when you realize you've forgotten what you even like to do for fun...

7. I won't have to adult for a whole month.

Why were we all in a rush to grow up again?

8. Getting rid of the awful professor.

Not only will you completely shred them on the end of the semester survey's, rate my professor, and to your parents but you'll also never have to sit through one of their boring lectures again or take their GPA destroying tests.

9. Celebrating the holidays.

There's nothing like some Christmas cheer, warm winter trip, or some fun New Year's Eve plans to remind you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

10. Oh wait... I have a J- term class.

Welcome to college there's never a break.
