It’s during these dreadful weeks leading up to exams that we ask ourselves the same, thought-provoking questions: Is it safe to consume this much caffeine? Should I follow a different career path? How does one avoid procrastination? Most importantly, how in the world is this semester already over with? All nighters, high stress levels and midnight food runs are in abundance and all we can think about is when we’ll be going home. Half of our friends are already home and we’re stuck counting down the minutes. Lucky them, right? When finals week does come to an end, there is no greater feeling then turning in that very last exam and knowing you are finished. That is, until next semester. To put this into greater perspective, here are 35 thoughts we all share leading up to final exams.

1. How is it finals week already? It was just the Fourth of July.
2. Atleast I have a week to relax before exams begin.
3. Okay I definitely should’ve studied during my time off.
4. Wait, do I even have finals?
5. *Checks syllabus for the first time all semester*
6. First exam is 7 a.m. Monday. WHAT. Who is behind this?
7. Wait, we have to write a paper too?
8. What am I, a robot?
9. I better get going to the library.
10. Maybe not, too many people and I don’t feel like wearing pants.
11. Okay I’ve studied for three hours; it’s time for a break.
12. *Opens Netflix and devours three tubs of Ben & Jerry’s*
13. HOW IS IT ALREADY 3:30 A.M. I need to get my life together.
14. But first, coffee.
15. How is Starbucks out of venti cups? This is an outrage.
16. Atleast I have my Keurig. But some food would be nice too.
17. Ah, all nourished and refreshed, let’s begin.
18. I’ve never heard of any of this in my life.
19. Maybe I should consider a new career path.
20. Nope, get it together. This was totally meant for you.
21. All this thinking has me in need of a serious (weeklong) power nap.
22. But sleep is for the weak and I am definitely not weak.
23. Okay, time to calculate the lowest possible score I can get on this exam.
24. Yeah, this curve better be exceptional.
25. I think I have carpal tunnel syndrome from all this intense writing. Will this guarantee me an A?
26. I hear people outside; I wonder what they’re up to
27. Ugh, I should’ve gone out with my friends and started this tomorrow.
28. Like is everyone else studying too?
29. There are so many other things I could be doing right now.
30. Like painting my nails, updating my LinkedIn or organizing my shelf in the pantry.
31. Focus. Focus. Focus.
32. Wait, since when was this class about rocks?
33. Omg why am I in this class.
34. I’m definitely going to fail.
35. Yeah I guess I can begin tomorrow.
