Lord know finals are tough, and it feels like we all go through a million emotions and states of being while we write, study, cram, and stress out because of exams, projects, presentations, and papers. While it can seem like we’re all alone in our own little bubbles of finals-induced stress, we’re all experiencing similar things.
Drinking coffee and caffeinated beverages to keep us awake on those long nights
Looking back at what you wrote and realizing the entire thing needs to be rewritten
Being on a roll with work and someone trying to distract you
Needing emotional support from friends
Having a breakdown and being overwhelmed together
Trying to study while your evil self tempts you to procrastinate
Attempting to learn via osmosis and pain
Wanting to go out and just forget the struggle
Feeling dead inside because there’s too much work
Hoping for some divine intervention
Never wanting to leave your bed because that means you need to do work
When you realize you forgot something
Your response when someone checks in on you
Noticing that your mind is wandering and scolding it
As defeating and horrible as this seems, just remember:
