Here it is. You’ve worked all semester, but none of that matters now and chances are this week will make you or break you.

1.     You realize that finals are this week

 

2.     And you’ve skipped so many classes this semester

3.     So it’s time to get to work

4.     But when you try to start you’re like

5.     So you mentally prepare with a nap and some Netflix

6.     Until you realize how little time you have

7.     You seriously question your major, job prospects, and class choices.

8.     But then you get really motivated and start to work hard

9.     And coffee becomes your BFF

10.  And then you no longer have a sleep schedule

11.  And you want to do anything but study

12.  And you keep getting distracted because people break 24hr quiet hours

13.  Then you begin complaining about finals to everyone you see

14.  Which makes you feel a little better and you get motivated again

15.  And finally you stop either because you’re done or you’ve lost the ability to care

16.  You wake up after a power nap and head to your first final

17.  You see the test and your mind goes blank

18.  You wish you’d studied just a bit more

But after two hours you’re finally done.

19.  And ultimately you survive finals week

20.  Until next semester

And just in case this timeline isn’t enough to get you through check out this masterpost of things that might make finals suck less.
