Let's face it, Finals Week is a stressful time and we all know it. You could be the most on your game, never procrastinate kind of person, and you still feel the pinch and tug of anxiety over your tests, papers, projects, and dwindling hours of sleep. Realistically, most of us are not nearly that responsible, and we are finding ourselves really sweating it out as we make a full sprint to the finish line that is Christmas break. Metaphorically, of course. We don't run. It's one of the many reasons our stress stays at peak levels. Yeah, finals are pretty much the worst, and I've been asking students all over campus about their least favorite parts. Here's what they told me:

1. "Professors pile it all on at the end."

Remember all those weeks you breezed by with no homework? Nights at the bar, staying up late hanging with friends, and hours upon hours of Netflix? You have two weeks to do all the works your professors didn't assign you then and decided to assign you now.

2. "I did this to myself, and I'm having to face that reality."

Here's to you procrastinators. At least you can own up to it.

3. "I've tried really hard to stay afloat this semester, but I just had to doggie paddle and I feel like I'm drowning here at the end."

Bless your heart for trying. It really was a tough semester, huh?

4. "What is sleep?"

Sometimes when I watch The Walking Dead, I realize how much it looks like campus, and I get afraid.

5. "Well, this is my third cup of coffee today."

...It was 9 am. That's pretty much what it looks like to come out on the other end of an all-nighter. For some students, that could be a couple days a week, and even worse, for some, it's all of finals week. It often depends on their previous levels of procrastination relative to how motivated they actually are to pass the class.

6. "I know it will, but I feel like this will never end."

You feel almost ready to call Mom and tell her you're missing Christmas this year. Then again, Christmas is all you're living for right now.

7. "The internal battle between 'treat yo self' and 'don't fail, or you'll never be able to treat yo self again.'"

I need a break from school, but I don't have money because I'm paying for school to get the degree that I need to get a job to make money to eventually be able to afford to take a break from work.

8. "Lots of crying."

And you'll see people crying everywhere. There are no safe zones from crying.

9. "Sometimes we joke how about if someone dies during the final, we all get an A. Sometimes, I don't know if we're joking anymore. I volunteer as tribute."

*Cringes* You'd be surprised how often I hear this one.

10. "Realizing you have to do this all again in a few months."

If you graduate this semster, we all envy you.

11. "I'm a nursing student."

We're all praying for you.
