21 Things Everyone Can Relate To During Finals Week

The semester is coming to an end and the dreaded finals week is just around the corner. Here are a few things you’ll likely relate to if you’re going through finals week:

1. Increased caffeine consumption

You’re going to be surviving off four jugs of coffee per day.

2. Maybe marriage is not such a bad idea

Yes I do the cooking, yes I do the cleaning.

3. Excessive crying

It’s just hayfever 🙂

4. “Wait, matloub kel shi men awal l semester?”

Let’s see if I can cram 3 months of studying into a single night.

5. “Men shu bteshke l C?”

6. There is no week like exam season to start binge-watching series

*studies for an hour*

*watches 3 hours of Bridgerton as a well-deserved break*

7. But to feel less guilty, you probably leave your notes open while watching

It’s called balance.

8. Your phone’s screen time has suddenly gone up another 6 hours this week

“I’m just taking a break”

9. Your camera roll is filled with pictures of notes and powerpoints

The struggle of trying to find that one picture among hundreds.

10. “Is it too late to drop out?”

11. When you realize it’s finally Friday

…but you have an exam on Saturday.

12. “Mafi nom ba3d elyom mafi nommmm”

13. You rehearse the speech you prepared for your instructor so they can give you an A

Or at least not fail you…we’re desperate.

14. Exam week is also a week filled with existential crises

“Why am I doing this? Lesh 3ayesh/e ana?”

15. The sexual tension between me and dropping out

Fiye seer ra2asa, rawa2.

16. Using studying as an excuse when mom asks you to do chores

“Mama, wallah 3am bedros”

17. Or suddenly you’re productive in everything (except studying)

Time to rearrange my room, organize my books according to color, and change the bed lining cuz anything is better than studying.

18. You contemplate going to uni in pajamas

F*ck it.

19. Googling “how much could I get for my kidney?”

It’s just for educational purposes.

20. And also “ways to pass an exam without even studying”

21. You’re gonna have the back of an 80 year old

You do, in fact, age 20+ years during finals week.

Good luck, everyone!
