You did it. You made it to the end of the semester. Your end of semester festivities have come and gone and now there is one big thing called hell week standing in your way. Finals. This unfortunate vital aspect of our college careers has not been kind on our brain cells, or the cleanliness of our rooms, or our overall nutritional food intake, but hey sometimes you need a carton of Ben & Jerry's and a box of tissues next to you as you figure out how to approach your final business pitches, your neuroscience exam, or that statistics final you are absolutely dreading. Let's get a big drum roll going for the most hated week of the year and take a big deep breath together because we all know we're gonna make it - use this list as a check list (or heck, a drinking game) every time you catch yourself thinking of one of these little phrases:

1. I am never going to get all of this done.

2. Yes, you will, you always get things done, stop complaining.

3. I should study in the library, home is too risky.

4. But I really could use a nap.

5. I am definitely pulling an all-nighter tonight.

6. Two pages down, see this is easy.

7. *Four hours and two sentences later* what did I do to deserve this hell?

8. I'm on coffee number six of the day and it's not even 2:00 o'clock.

9. When did we ever learn this?

10. And this?

11. F THIS!

12. Cramming this information into my head is the equivalent of cramming 10 pounds of crap into a five-pound bag.

13. I just want to watch Netflix.

14. It's 11:00 a.m. and the library is already packed. God help me.

15. Bless the teacher who made this test not cumulative.

16. I'll just check Facebook real quick (turns into 25 minutes, plus an Instagram post and various snapchats).

17. I can do this, we are almost there.

18. Who decided I deserved to have my two hardest tests on the same day?

19. Yeah, I tuned out for this section in class... and this one.

20. What do I need to get on this final to save my grade?

21. My grade is now dependent on this final.

22. Deep breaths, inhale, exhale.

23. Why are finals a thing?

24. This is surely a form of torture.

25. Cs get degrees, right?

26. I need a pep talk.

27. FINALS DO NOT DEFINE ME.

28. *In the words of Michelle Branch in reference to my GPA* - goodbye to you, goodbye to everything I thought I knew.

29. ONE MORE EXAM. YOU CAN ALMOST SEE THE LIGHT.

30. I actually didn't do half bad.

Don't underestimate yourself people! You are smart and capable of this dreadful week. Get some study tunes going, keep your mind positive, and know that winter break is right around the corner. Best of luck!
