A Summary of Finals Week in Tweets

If you’re like us and addicted to social media, you have probably seen all of the tweets and Facebook status updates about finals. Twitter has become a nationwide pity party. There are literally hundreds of pictures of people complaining about finals. Some of them were desperate, some of them were hilarious, but all of them seem to come to one consensus- finals suck.

This isn’t new information. Anyone who has ever taken a college final knows the excruciating pain and suffering that taking a final can produce: hours of time spent studying, lack of sleep, and mostly just sheer frustration. (High schoolers- you have no idea how hard finals are until you are in college- so let’s leave this conversation to the big kids).

In honor of finals week, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite finals week tweets to share with you. Whether you are finished with finals, still have finals to do, or not even in school anymore, I hope you can enjoy the beauty in other people’s finals week breakdowns.

 

“I can’t make myself study for more than 10 minutes at a time before I just get really angry at life”- unknown

“ugh…”- everyone, everywhere

“Walking around the library waking kids up with a bullhorn and screaming ‘OH MY GOD, YOU SLEPT THROUGH YOUR FINAL!!!!’ #finalsweek “- @NotBrooksKeel

“Finals week: the struggle is real”- unknown

“You’re not doing finals week right if you don’t wear the clothes you slept in to take your test”- @bigtuckkk

“Going to the library during finals week is like going to the gym during spring break #desperate” -@jessiepauley

“I can never forget the good times I had in college. They keep sending me my loan bills to remind me.” – @CollegeTownLife

“Opening textbooks during finals that still have that brand new book smell. #TFM” -@totalfratmove

“Oh finals week. When college students replace shots of liquor with shots of espresso.“- @_DrunkBlonde

“The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing #finalsweek” – @HeatherMerphy

 

I hope this has brought somewhat of a smile to your face (or at least you did that little breathing out of the nose thing that is supposed to be a laugh). In any case, we hope this made you realize that although finals can suck sometimes, they bring all college students together (even if it is to laugh at each others misery).

Make the Most Out of Finals

It’s that time of the year- finals! To some, merely mentioning the word will send them into a panic attack. Others actually look forward to finals season. What kind of crazy human being would EVER look forwards to finals? I’m glad you asked.

Flashnotes users do! Finals time is the best time to gather up all those notes and flashcards and make a profit off of them. Want to spend your summer sipping lemonade and vodka by the pool? How about handcrafting a good ‘ol fashioned 30 foot long slip ‘n slide? Whatever you decide to do, you can pay for your extravagant college lifestyle by selling your notes!

Whether you’ve already finished finals or you still have 6 more to go, we can help you.

If you’ve already finished finals: Go out and enjoy that summer sun! Taste the sweet freedom because it won’t last long. I know you probably don’t want to think about this right now, but even though you may be finished with this semester, there’s no better time to start preparing for next semester.

If you’ve already signed up for classes next semester, check out the materials available on Flashnotes to get a good idea of what you’ve gotten yourself into next semester. Give yourself a little time to soak up the sunshine and enjoy a much-needed break from school, but just don’t forget that the earlier you can start preparing for next semester, the smoother it will go.

 

If you still have to take finals: Now is the best time to really put some effort into those flashcards and study guides (not that we didn’t have faith in your studying ability before- we know you’re always on your best behavior). However, now is your time to shine. Finals season is the perfect time to sell those comprehensive study materials.

The key to a successful Flashnotes experience is marketing your material. You can make the best study guide in the entire world, but how will anyone know it’s the best if they haven’t seen it? We’ve seen that the best way to market your notes is through Blackboard or Moodle (whichever system your school supports). Shoot your classmates a quick email, and you’ll be on your way to earning summer fun money and making friends.

The end of finals doesn’t necessarily mean the end of Flashnotes. We’ll be here all summer long to answer any questions you can come up with (even the ridiculous ones). Happy Studying!
