Finals week. The most dreaded week in a student's life. The bi-annual phenomenon strikes fear into the hearts of many, but what does it really entail? The cast of Stranger Things is here to give their take on the worst week of a student's life.

You probably waited until the week before to start studying.

Let's face it. It's the Friday before and you haven't even looked at the book all year. It happens to the best of us. Because really, who needs to study anyway? But if you change your mind, don't worry, you have just enough time to cram an entire semester's worth of information into a few days!

Sleep is a thing of the past.

This isn't your first rodeo, and I'm sure you said farewell to sleep a long time ago, but this week, there is no such thing as a good night's rest. You're either up late studying, or up late procrastinating. Or there's the alternative: you're up late stressing about the fact that you've been procrastinating instead of studying. Either way, almost every night is spent cramming and every day is spent pretending you have your life together.

You've probably had five mental breakdowns in the past two days.

And that's okay! You'll have time to be happy and healthy once this ungodly week is over, but for now, it's back to the books. Or in some of our cases, it's back to bed to pretend you're sleeping and hide from all of your problems.

There is no such thing as a social life.

Count yourself out of any party or get-together for the next two weeks. You'll be in, studying, until the storm passes. I guess I shouldn't assume you're not going out. If you're anything like me, anything to distract from the stresses of finals week is welcome with open arms.

Coffee and microwaveable foods are your best friends.

Let's face it: all you've had to eat the past week is ramen and espresso, and that's okay. Next week all the food will be yours. It's hard to find time to eat on a regular day, let alone this week. Ramen is your best friend- and oh- Eggos too!

And finally, The following weeks are the most carefree of your life.

It feels like a gigantic weight has been lifted off your shoulders, and you couldn't feel better. Plus, you get a break! The storm has passed and the torture is over. It seems like it was a year, but the week we all dread is finally through.. let's just not check the grades yet.
