The sun is shining and the birds are chirping, but the quads are empty, the hallways silent. There is not a soul in sight as you walk around campus… until you step foot in the library. Between the shelves and in the study rooms, the tension is palpable as stressed and exhausted students scramble to understand months of material over the course of a few reading days. Don’t despair! Find some finals inspirations in these boss women from our favorite tv shows and movies.
