Things You Want That Finals Week Can’t Give to You

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Chapman chapter.

They’re here: finals. Whether you started studying since day one or not, it’s the most stressful time of year. Fall semester is the worst because it’s right before the holidays and no one can think about what’s in their stockings or how dank their roommates’ holiday cookies were if they’re busy thinking about those grades. There are so many things that the world can give you that finals week can’t. Here’s that list:

 

  1. A good night’s sleep

Didn’t I say it? Long nights in the library. Nope. That’s your home now. Bring a toothbrush and maybe your teddy bear. Have fun sleeping on one of the tables.

 

2. A homecooked meal

You have no time to cook so you’re going to be eating out all of the time. As if you’re not already broke enough as a college student, you’re broke from time too.

 

3. Love

Ain’t nobody gonna hold you at night. Why would bae pull you closer in the backseat of your Rover? How about bae shows you their scantron during the exam. Don’t worry, I’m kidding, I don’t condone everyone going against the laws of academic integrity. Be good noodles by being honest with yourself.

 

4. Happiness

This is a lie until you get your final grades back and we all know professors will not submit those until the very last minute.

Go, just go cry in a corner. No one’s watching.
