Finals week consists of the worst days of a semester, the final days of a semester, and also sometimes the most entertaining. Please do not injure yourself in any way while aggressively nodding in agreement with the sh*t girls say during finals week. 

1. “Study Break!”

This statement is most likely heard 5 minutes after someone begins studying or is written in the multiple snap chats you will most likely receive by said studying student.

2. “What even is this… the Professor never went over this in class.”

Because it just isn’t fair to be tested on something that wasn’t extensively covered in class… right? RIGHT?!

3. “When will I ever need to know any of this again?”

The eternally posed question at a school that values educating the whole person; from statistics to philosophy… gag.

4. “I need coffee right now.”

Self explanatory.

5. “I can’t right now…”

Or in English: I find studying unbearable at this moment, I cannot tolerate studying at this time, or the situation at hand is so unbearable I cannot formulate full sentences to describe how I feel about it. Refer to our Gen-Y Dictionary.

6. “I think I’m still hung over from last weekend.”

Clam Jam: hindering studying schedules since 1987.

7. “Calories mean nothing this week.” Study up, chow down.

8. “I am ratchet right now.”

Ratchet, as in too many late nights with coffee and not enough showering.

9. “I need a drink right now.”

Heard even more frequently on Cinco de Mayo.

10. “Maybe I’ll just take a five minute nap…”
