The dreaded stress of finals week is upon us bringing the endless hours of studying, sleepless nights and uncontrollable eating habits. Even though we can easily develop the mentality that only fellow college students can relate to, it seems as though the Real Housewives on Bravo can relate more than we’d like to admit. They may be more focused on their trendy clothes, dinner parties and other reality show drama, but they also can surely relate to the following 13 stress-related challenges we face during finals week.
Sometimes you just really need a study break…and a snack.
You can’t help but stress-eat your way through all of your food (and some of your roommate’s food).
Sugar is an essential food group. You obviously can’t study without that late night slice of cake, right?
Can “New Quarter Resolutions” be a thing?
Walking to the library with a backpack full of books is the most exercise you have time for. At least you work up a sweat doing it.
Nothing is worse than having to walk through the entire library trying to find an open space next to all of the other stressed out students cramming for their upcoming exams.
Falling asleep mid-chapter is normal right?
 People really should stop asking how your week is going; it should be obvious by the black circles under your eyes.
You want your normal sleep schedule back more than you want anything else.
People always say to look for the light at the end of the tunnel, right?
It’s go-time people! Can we just skip the chatter and pass the exams out already?
If you don’t question whether you aced a test or totally failed it, did you even just take a final?
Finally, it’s over. Time to celebrate!
