Finals week and the week before are very stressful times for us college students. I'm sure we know the struggle all too well. Listed below are some of the things I say and think during the last two weeks of the semester. If you are familiar with the stress of these dreaded last two weeks of the semester, you might also say and think some of these things as well. Are you ready? Let's get right into it, shall we?

The week before finals:

1. "Are you kidding me? I have tons of studying to do, so why am I being bombarded with papers and projects?"

2. "My brain hurts."

3. "Oh look, a gray hair."

4. "Time to have a mental breakdown."

5. "Why me?"

6. "Can the semester be over, already?"

7. "College years are the best years of your life, huh? Yeah, right!"

8. "I want to check Facebook, but I really should finish this paper."

9. "Dang, this is the second gray hair I found this week!"

10. "I can do this. It's only two more weeks."

11. "Oh holidays, where for art thou?"

12. "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming."

During finals week:

1. "I hope I pass this exam."

2. "What?! I don't remember learning this! Oh well, I'll choose D because I haven't chosen it in a while."

3. "When in doubt, choose 'all of the above'."

4. "*sigh* I'm going to fail this exam."

5. "I need coffee."

6. "Excuse me, but could you keep it down? I'm trying to study for an exam I have in a couple hours.

7. "I need a hug."

8. "Finals week, a.k.a misery week."

9. "Okay, this exam shouldn't be too hard. I can do this!"

10. "Yay! Today is the last day!"

11. "I did it! I fought the beast named 'Finals Week'!"

12. "Don't drop that GPA, ayy, don't drop that GPA!"

Good luck with finals, everyone! We will get through this together.
