15 Things That Count as a Bed During Finals

With finals week in full swing, you’re likely hyped up on caffeine, sick of studying and most definitely sleep deprived. If you’re crazed to the point of spending 24/7 in the library or somewhere else on campus, you’re going to have to find some unique places to take naps. For your convenience (and reassurance), here are 15 things that count as beds during finals:

1. Library chair

Sometimes, you just gotta catch some zzzs.

2. The floor

Not as uncomfortable as some may think!

3. Random stairwell


There’s no denying that this looks pretty comfy.

4. Group study room


Sleep is way more important than group projects.

5. Bench outside

Just make sure it isn’t supposed to rain.

6. Dining hall


You can refuel all in one place!

7. Starbucks chair


Your coffee was taking too long to make.

8. Library books


Not bad pillows!

9. Cubicle


Don’t underestimate the comfort of a library desk.

10. Any lobby


Empty space? Why not sleep in it?

11. The quad

Once again, only ideal if the weather permits it.

12. Back of a classroom

No one will even know you’re there.

13. Yoga mat at the gym


People will just think you’re meditating.

14. Health center


Just act like you’re waiting for your appointment.

15. Literally anywhere there’s space

It’s final week, so anything goes.

Good luck with finals and don’t forget to sleep, collegiettes!
