Oh, finals. The deepest and darkest point of the school year for every college student. None of our finals will be as easy as reciting the ABCs, but nonetheless here are the ABCs of finals week that are way too relatable for every single college student.
Another semester comes to an end, queue my 14 days straight of breakdowns.
Barely getting by, and it’s all thanks to caffeine.
Crying every hour but then convincing yourself that this will all be worth it.
Don’t ask me if I’m tired because the answer will always be yes.
Eye bags that no amount of concealer can fix.
Fed up with school and deadlines and wanting to be home for the holidays.
Going through four months’ worth of assignments and wondering when you ever learned any of this stuff.
Homework…even though finals are a few days away. Is that allowed?
I probably only come out of my room to eat food because I have too many things to do.
Juggling studying for finals on top of every other responsibility is nearly impossible.
Kicking yourself for not being prepared for exams…AGAIN.
Libraries packed to the brim with students all in the same boat as you.
Mental stability is at an all-time low.
Not making it to class on time because you overslept because you went to bed at 5 a.m.
Overwhelmed is an understatement at this point.
Pain is temporary, GPA is forever!!
Quiet hours in all of the res halls. I will seriously fight someone if they disrupt my studying.
Reassuring yourself that once exams are over, you get to go home.
Sleeping anywhere that allows you to get a few extra minutes; that includes standing in line for coffee or accidentally falling asleep in the library.
To-do lists that could stretch across all of campus.
Unemployed and unhappy is what my future looks like if I can’t pass these tests.
Very upset with yourself that you keep finding excuses to procrastinate studying.
Wondering why you didn’t pay more attention during class throughout the semester.
Xpresso shots in every single thing you order. (xpresso is close enough to espresso, right?)
Yawning so hard that tears are constantly coming out of your eyes.
Zzzzz is what I plan on doing once I am finally done taking all of my tests!!
Good luck to everyone on finals! Just push through this one last week and then we are home for the holidays!
