It is that week again: Finals week. We know it's coming all semester and yet, when it's here, we scramble. We scramble to try to learn four months worth of material within one week. Every semester we tell ourselves we won't do this again, we won't wait until the night before to cram but every semester, we do. It is an understatement to say that finals week is a stressful week, so we do what we can to lower our stress levels. For me? I like to incorporate Disney into my studying, so let's see what the seven dwarfs have to say about finals week.

1. Bashful

The week before finals week can be even more stressful for those with anxiety. It's review week. This is the week that professors cover a semester's worth of material in just a few days. This week will also remind you how little you actually remember. Most professors will have review sessions outside of class, for more of a smaller setting, which is great for those who need a little extra help. However, some professors won't and you will be forced to ask what you may think to be embarrassing questions in a class of 300. I know that this can be awkward, trying to get your point across as your screaming across the room, but it is so important. This is the last week you have to learn everything you can on the subject. It is so vital that you ask these questions, no matter how silly or "dumb" they may be. So remember, there is no time to be "bashful," this is your education on the line. Ask questions, learn something new and ace that exam.

2. Grumpy

Let's all be honest for a moment. Exam week does not bring out our best sides. We are going to be in a bad mood until the moment we walk out of our last final. It's just a fact. We will be constantly stressed and annoyed at anyone who tries to get in the way of our studying. Our friends may ask, "do you want to take a coffee break?" NO. No, we do not want to take a break. We want to understand these trigonometric equations. People need to understand, you have a right to be grumpy. If you need to hold yourself hostage on the 10th floor of the library and not speak to anybody for hours, then you do that. Do what you need to do to get through your finals and just remember, as soon as they are over, you can go for those coffee dates.

3. Sneezy

I don't know if it's the lack of sleep or our poor eating habits but it never fails, during exam week we get sick. Whether it's a full-blown cold or just a headache, we are forced to take some type of medication to make it through. Being ill can make pulling all-nighters difficult, actually, it makes pulling all-dayers hard but you just have to keep thinking that it's just one week, I can make it. Don't let the sniffles, or even a fever take away from your future. Chug some NyQuil if you need to, take a quick power nap or eat some chicken noodle soup; do anything to help you focus. Just stay hydrated while you are sick and I promise you, you will make it through.

4. Sleepy

Besides calling it Finals Week, it is very easy to call it No Sleep week. Most of our all-nighters are pulled during this week. Our nap-times are definitely cut down and we may even get up earlier than we did the whole semester. We will walk around like zombies, not really hearing what anybody says to us. You may even consider trying out osmosis because you are just that tired. Well, that's exam week. You know it's coming and therefore are well aware you are going to be dropping loads of cash at Starbucks. My advice? Take the week before, "review week," to get all of your sleep. Because let's be real, no matter if we swear to ourselves we will get a good night's sleep, we won't. That's just who we are.

5. Doc

Alright. It's time. Time to take the test you have been preparing for all semester and you are actually feeling pretty confident. You may not have gotten a lot of sleep the past week but you have looked over your notes left and right. You might as well have written the book for the class. This confidence is important. Whether you actually studied or went out the night before, you need to walk into that exam thinking you know it all. Because if you don't, maybe you will at least fool yourself.

6. Dopey

The exam is over and you realize, "okay, maybe I didn't know as much as I thought I did." I mean, did we even learn about half of those questions in class? Yes. You probably did. Those were probably the days you decided to sleep because you went out the night before. Don't freak out. Most teachers grant curves, thankfully, and if they don't, there is a very good chance you did much better than you think. Just go home, get some sleep, maybe even 16 hours of it, if necessary and try to get back to normal.

7. Happy

WOO-HOO! YOU ARE DONE! That's right. Exams are over and you can finally not think. Just turn your brain off because who cares? You are done, and hopefully you passed every class this semester. Even if you struggled all semester with a class, you now never have to think about it again. This is a good feeling. Soak it up. Remember it. Because this is the feeling that will get you through next semester's exam week.
