This is it ... it's the final countdown to the dreaded finals week. After months of anticipation, the end is near, which means all those assignments you said you were going to get done way ahead of time are now due right around the corner. How did we get here? It feels like just yesterday we were coming back from winter break and anticipating the warmer weather. Well, fellow students, the time is now. Finals week is in a few weeks and for some that may be fine, while for others, it may be a different story. If you are one of the fortunate others, here are 17 thoughts I know you're having right about now.
1. When you look at your calendar and realize that finals week is less than three weeks away.
Wasn't I just penguin-walking to class in 30-degree weather? How is it almost May?
2. And to make it even better you have three papers due this week, none of which count as finals.
Thanks a lot, profs. Really appreciate it.
3. I think I have time to go out for a bit.
The semester's almost over. I need to see my friends, ya know?
4. Yeah, I'll only stay out until 11 p.m. and wake up early tomorrow and study.
*Hits snooze at noon.*
5. Maybe I should go to class, maybe there will be a review in class or something.
I'll get there ... well maybe to my second class ... or my third.
6. What do you mean I have a group project due this week? It definitely wasn't on the syllabus.
Oh...my bad.
7. Wow, I'm so tired. I should just take a really quick nap, 20 minutes, max.
Wait, is it already midnight???
8. How is everything due this week?
Did my professors, like, plan this?
9. It'll be fine, I just have to sit down and grind it out. No problem.
*Writes a phrase, checks Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and every other social media app.*
10. God, I am so stressed.
Thank you Dominos and junk food!
11. What do you mean my bank account has only $15 in it? That's impossible, I only went to Starbucks once last week.
(Each day.)
12. I guess I'll just have to eat what's in my cabinet.
"Mom, if there's only a little green on the bread, can I still eat it?"
13. This paper will only take, like, an hour max. I can definitely afford to wait a bit longer.
What do you mean it has to be 2,000 words? I thought this was supposed to be only three pages.
14. Okay, so I should just plan out what I am doing every day by hour and that way I'll have to stick to my schedule.
*Spends four hours aimlessly color coding a schedule instead of actually working on what has to be done*
15. *Googles every occupation you can have that doesn't require a college degree, but pays enough to keep up with your expensive taste*
Stripping ... pizza making ... dog walking? Dogs all day? Why am I still here??
16. It's so nice out. I just want to be outside all day!
Procrastination at its finest.
17. Is it really almost finals week? How could they just spring this on us? I don't have enough time to finish all of this!
Sorry, mom.
