SCORE MY LIFE: 12 Songs That Will Inevitably Define Your Finals Period
Elle Eccles

As you ghost through the halls of Fondren and build yourself a small hut of snacks and notebooks in a study room this finals period, diffuse some of that exam tension with some fun songs that will commiserate with you. And remember, summer is just beyond that 10-page paper!

1. Bad Things with Jamaicans – Charley Marley

For when you really should be studying. It's been ages since you slept outside of Fondren. Your world is blurring into a psychedelic jumble of notes.


2. Perfect Tense – Fallulah

For when you go out with your friends to procrastinate studying. Might not be too bad if you just end up winging it, right? You'll be fine. It will all soon be buried in your past...


3. Beware the Dog – The Griswolds

For when you’re surrounded by textbooks and power points, remembering the short, happy life of Syllabus Week. Where did the time go?


4. Smaller – Erik Hassle

For when you feel like finals are actually decimating your ability to function. Has anyone investigated a possible connection between final exams stress and brain cell death?


5. Carry Your Throne – Jon Bellion

For when, like a rallying cry for the broken, a study break comes along to pull you out of the muck and take up your side in the fight for your sanity.


6. Rivers – Thomas Jack

For when you just need to dance a jig and forget it all. Maybe you need a friend or two to dance with you.


7. Wake Up – Aaradhna

For when you — OK, seriously now — really need to get up and do some studying.


8. Rock Bottom – Hailee Steinfeld

What even is your relationship with your major anyway?


9. NoLo – Grace Mitchell

For the night before the exam when you're pretty sure you've lost it, because you feel way too confident about this.


10. Beggin’ – Madcon

For that moment right before the exam when you’re just reeeeaaallly hoping to pass.


11. Bones – MS MR

For those moments of panic, when you’re sure they’ll find your bones scattered in Herzstein Amp after the exam.


12. How You Like Me Now? – The Heavy

And one more song for that moment when you’ve finished your last final and you’re free, free, free.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
