Exam week is upon us, which means there are a million things going through your mind. Finals is the time of the year where we spend hours studying, crying, napping, drinking too much red bull and coffee, and procrastinating. Take a break from it all and unwind. Her Campus George Mason feels your pain, so we’ve compiled a list of 30 thoughts that run through the minds of every anxious student during exam time. 

1. Since when did it become the end of the semester…?

2. Do I have to take an exam for every class?

3. Did the professor just say that the exam is cumulative?

4. I can’t even spell cumulative.

5. Is it cumulative or accumulative? Oh well, at least this isn’t an English exam. Auto-correct saves lives.

6. The professor said what about the textbook?

7. We ARE going to be tested on it?

8. I never even bought it… Ain’t nobody got time for that!

9. Where is the library? I thought it was under construction or something.

10. Why are there so many people in here? I thought the library would be an empty place to study.

11. That student is totally asleep and drooling, since when did the library become a dorm room? Maybe I should just get Starbucks.

12. Starbucks saves the day! Well, they have all of their holiday drinks available so… It’s necessary

13. NO, they are out of peppermint mochas… Excuse me while I cry. 

14. This Starbucks didn’t make me as smart or help me as much I was hoping it would. 

15. Why isn’t the caffeine making me a genius yet?

16. I can’t do this, it has been like 2 hours and I have made 4 flash cards.

17. Uh-oh… the caffeine is kicking in…

18. I’m not going to be able to stop laughing. Since when did everyone on Twitter get so hilarious?

19. I think I’ll just work on my holiday wish list…

21. A little online shopping never hurt anybody.

22. Don’t even want to check my bank account.

23. Don’t even want to check my grades.

24. Let me just cry a little and then take a nap.

25. Ok for real though I need to study.  

26. Why can’t professors just give us all A’s… I go to class… most of the time.

* Two Hours Later *

27.  Well I skimmed over like 75 pages, that should prepare me right?

28. I should probably get some more sleep, it isn’t good to cram too much information all at once.

29. I’ll de-stress with some Netflix.

30. I’ll try to study again tomorrow or something.
