Finals week is one of the most famously horrible things that college students have to deal with, and there's no arguing that at all. Everyone fights for that last seat on the quiet floor of the library, the last pump of coffee out of the dispenser and the last hours of the day to cram for their exams. Though that may feel like absolute crap, which I can confirm that it does, what people sometimes don't think about are the aspects of finals week that make up for all the hard week they just endured.
You're finally done with that awful professor. I'm certain that pretty much everyone has had a professor that they just aren't fond of. It might be how much homework they assign, how slowly they post the grades of the exams after they're done, or maybe they just happen to be a crappy person, but either way, you're done with them and you can decide whether you ever want to take a class with them again or not, which is actually awesome. Oh, and also, you can write them a really great class and professor review, and then sign it so it goes in their portfolio.
Your schedule is hopefully way less intense. Because most classes meet more than once a week, and there's only one final, your finals are condensed or spread apart the whole week, so that you have more time to cram or take some time for yourself instead of managing that crazy class schedule. Would you rather be in class, or in your pajamas, drinking cocoa, studying? I'd take studying any day.
The holidays are coming up! Even though sometimes it can be a little bit of a distraction, its great inspiration to work your ass off and head home or back to your apartment for the holidays. It's the time of winter break, so no more classes and no more homework, and back to relaxation or maybe a little bit of work. Either way, you're done with the classes that have kicked your butt for the past semester, and you can move on to better things in the new year.
No one will look at you weird if you wear your pajamas to your finals. So maybe you were really tired one day and you rolled out of bed in time for classes but didn't want to put makeup on, or put on "real" clothes, so you just go to class like that. You may have received some weird looks, and felt a little bit bad, but now that it's finals week, you're the genius that wore pajamas to class and you're basically a wizard.
