It's that wonderful time of year again: finals week. 'Tis the season for stress, no sleep, and Starbucks. All semester has been leading up to this week that we prefer not to think about. However, here we are. Now is the time to watch all of the lectures you missed because you wanted to nap or because you wanted to party on a Monday night. With all of this work and stress, here are the seven thoughts and feelings that everyone has during finals week.
1. "Can I just nap instead of writing this 10-page essay?"
Unfortunately, the essay does not write itself like in "Harry Potter."
2. "Please don't talk to me."
I don't like socializing on a normal basis, so talking to me during finals is definitely a no-no.
3. "I'm dropping out of school."
Your Google search history reads, "Can I make a living by being a professional hoolahooper?"
4. "All I want for Christmas is for this hell to end."
No, I don't want you. Please and thank you.
5. "How much coffee can I drink in a day?"
I don't think a vat is enough, to be honest.
6. "This is the end of me."
Finals week is a death sentence. Professors try different torture methods in the forms of essays, short answer questions, and multiple choice. Oh, the horror!
7. "What is my stress level on a scale from 1 to 10? I would say about a 73."
'Nuff said.
Despite the stress, feelings of insanity, and coffee-jitters, we can all get through this week. Don't forget to take breaks during studying, eat healthy foods, and get plenty of sleep. Studying is important, but your health is even more important. Good luck on finals, friends!
