Thoughts We Have While Attempting to Study for Finals

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at URI chapter.

I’m going to be a good student and study today.

But first, coffee.

I’m so ready for this. Finals have nothing on me.

*Gets to library* *Scrolls through every social media site before looking at anything school-related*

Okay, it’s been a half hour, here we go, I got this.

*15 minutes later* Ugh, I need another coffee.

Maybe I should get a Redbull…or 5-hour energy? Does that stuff actually work?

*An hour into studying* How has it already been an hour?!? I only studied like two things…

I need a nap.

No, wake up! (followed by mini self-pep talk)

Another hour later: OK, one more hour of work and I can leave.

… But the group chat is blowing up… Don’t. Check. Phone. Not. Important.

But what if it’s an emergency?!? *Checks phone*

Why do we even have finals anyway? I’m not going to remember any of this in a month from now.

Maybe I should just wing it…

Or drop out of school and become a stripper? (Why does everyone say that?…)

Let’s see, in order to pass the class I need to get a 70 on the final… I should just give up now.

No, I can do this, it’s just a history exam, how hard can it be?

*Looks at study guide*

Well, I’ve been productive enough for one day; time to go home!

*Leaves library feeling confident, having retained a small amount of information*

I'm a sophomore business major at URI. I'm from River Edge, New Jersey. I find joy in surrounding myself with my favorite people and making the best out of every situation. But i also find joy in eating food and laying in my bed.
