Across the board, someone uttering the phrase "finals week" to any college student is enough to send chills down their spine. At the drop of those two fateful words, their minds immediately go to all-nighters, way too much coffee, and a seemingly endless array of assignments.

No more setting alarms for early morning classes. No more cramming as many assignments as possible into a planner. If you ask any college student who their one true love is, a lot of them will probably respond with winter break.
