1. I’m going to finish out the semester strong!

2. I’m not going to wait until the night before to study!
3. But deep down, you know you will, because let’s face it…it’s inevitable.
4. I need to go to the library.
5. Oh wait, there’s never a spot open during finals week. NEVER MIND.
6. I’m just going to book a room!
7. Reserved. Reserved. Reserved. Okay, I give up.
8. I’ll just study on Sanford Mall! It’s such a nice day anyway.
9. Then you realize you’ll never be able to focus tanning in the sun or enoing in the shade. It only makes you think of summer, meaning no worries and no motivation whatsoever.
10. But you decide to reward yourself just because you don’t have a Sanford Mall back home and there’s nothing like a view of the mountains in Boone during spring when it’s in the 70’s. Ahhh, paradise.
11. You get a study group together because collaboration is key, right? Actually, you’re just hoping that the other people in your class will make up for all those times you didn’t pay attention.
12. You’re studying in a group and realize that you’re going to get absolutely nothing accomplished.
13. You accept that fact.
14. You start regretting all those times you skipped class.
15. You thank God for those professors who didn’t make the exam cumulative.

16. And curse the ones who did…

17. It just isn’t fair.
18. You convince yourself that you can’t learn a whole semester’s worth of material in one night so why even try?

19. You start calculating the lowest grade you can make on the final to still pass the class.
20. You think it’s a good idea to give yourself a break on the day(s) you don’t have exams. Binge watch Netflix, eat your feelings, go outside…anything to get your mind off of the test you just failed.
21. Then you end up regretting that later.
22. You don’t remember learning anything on the study guide and try to blame it on your professor. In reality, you know it’s your own fault.

23. You make yourself believe that you need a nap to re-energize yourself but really, it’s only going to make you crave another.
24. You give up hope on that A you were shooting for at the beginning of the semester. You’ll settle for less.
25. You actually think about apologizing to your professor for the final that he will have to grade.
26. He just has to curve it though…
27. You wonder what you will do if you fail out and start listing the alternative career paths, if there even is one.
28. You start questioning why you’re even in college.

29. You tell yourself I CAN DO THIS because positive thoughts are all you need when you are this desperate.

30. It will be a miracle if you survive finals week.
31. But once you do, all you can think about is celebrating afterwards.
