It’s that time of the year again: FINALS. With the prospect of a month’s vacation so close, it’s a struggle to get through this last week. It’s the only time of the year you will you see so many collegiettes™ in sweats with stressed out faces (or Facebook statuses), or students hoarding coffee and Red Bull.
While I’m sure many of you are enjoying the PCL’s extended hours, check out The Daily Texan’s article on the top alternative places to study on campus,, or check out Longhorn Life’s reviews of different campus coffee shops.
After all, one of the keys to successful studying is the right atmosphere. Combine that with a killer playlist (click here for some suggestions from Longhorn Life), caffeine (or good ol’ fashioned sleep) and the desire to ace your final, and you’re set!
Beware: with the endless fun to be had on Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter, combined with the temptation to watch ABC Family’s “25 Days of Christmas,” it’s not surprising that students are distracted more often than not. So, after seeing the students captured in the pictures below, know you’re not alone when it comes to wanting to do anything but study. But let’s hope you’re a little more successful than these three!

The lures of Facebook are endless.
Hey, at least someone got it right…
Now get back to studying! Good luck!
