Three tests in one day? Four papers to write in one week? Doing everything as last minute as possible? No problem, It is finals week, you got this. Here are the sure signs that this torturous week is in full swing.
1) Even the best looking people look like they’re dying-
Lets be real, no one has the time to think about their appearance during finals week. If you do have the time to try, the lack of sleep this week will make it hard to salvage those good looks anyways. My advice, own those bags under your eyes, it gives you character.
2) Your usual spot at Fogler has been taken by an amateur without headphones-
Who are the people in the library this week? You have been studying here all semester and 95% of the faces are completely new. Worst of all the usual spot that you consider to be your very own, is most likely taken by one of these lovely new faces.
3) Shaking, sweating, and having pupils the size of your actual eye is completely normal this week.-
Anything goes this week. All means possible are taken to stay awake and do the unattainable amount of work that you have to finish it one week. This may lead to some awkward body movements and the possibility of looking like your eyes may pop out of your head.
4) If lucky you will get to witness at least one person late for their exam getting their public jog on-
The public jog is my absolute favorite. Being late for an exam is the worst feeling ever. Doing anything possible to make it to an exam on time is necessary, all social acceptability aside. This in turn, often leads to the public jog through campus, which is hilarious for everyone involved. That is, other than the person actually having to do it.
5) This is the one week where you may actually be #sorryforpartying-
How has all of this work built up into one week? Could it be the endless nights you have spent at the Brew, Roost, Kingman’s, or on the rage bus in the past 2 months? Normally no one is, or should be, sorry for partying. Unfortunately this week is an exception to the rule.
