With finals rapidly approaching, we all have the days that turn into nights when we don’t leave that one spot in Dinand. Whether it’s outside the Lewis Reading Room, in the Periodicals, hiding in a cubicle in the Stacks, or at a table with friends, we all go through the grueling process of finals together. Here are 11 thoughts that have gone through your mind or most likely will when you are in Dinand past 1 AM.
1. Is it 100 degrees in here or is it just me? I’m wearing shorts and a tank top and still feel like I’m in a sauna.
2. Done with coffee #2. I definitely need a third. *Looks at watch* Okay, awesome it’s 1:08… missed Cool Beans by 8 minutes. Looks like I’ll need to do this without you this time, coffee.
3. Where did everyone else go? Am I the only one with who still has work?! Oh, wait there’s another person struggling just as much as me. Hi, friend!!!
4. I should have done this when it was assigned three weeks ago.
5. Hmmmm maybe I should paint my nails when I’m back in my room. Or should I shower? Or I could eat some snacks and call it a night. Yeah, option 3 sounds good.
6. The librarian just asked me if I was having a rough night. Answer: yes.
7. I wonder if my mom is still up… Maybe I could Facetime with my dog. I deserve a study break.
8. Mmmmm French toast for breakfast. At least I have that to look forward to if I can make it before my 9 AM. Wow, 9 AM is only 8 hours away. Breakfast might have to wait.
9. Now would really be a great time to explore Dinand. Anyways, I need to stretch my legs and have always wanted to find a way to the roof.
10. Furiously refreshing Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Wigo, Snapchat, and every other social media site, but there is never anything new. WAIT! Buzzfeed just posted another quiz. It will only take a few minutes. I have time for this.
11. I wonder how much longer until break. *Recalculating the days, hours, and minutes until summer* Okay, I can do this.
Good luck studying, Holy Cross!
