Here comes finals week, right down CSC Lane

We have probably all seen the lists on Facebook and BuzzFeed about signs and signals that indicate finals are coming. Admit it, you have probably spent time reading and sharing those lists to avoid actually doing homework.
Those lists are entertaining and good time killers, but those lists are not always 100 percent accurate for Chadron State. To solve that issue, I present:
Signs that Finals Week is Coming, CSC Edition
1. The Wi-Fi in the library is basically non-existent.
Everyone is finally starting to realize it’s time to start cramming and where do students go to cram? The library. Even if they have never spent time in the library before now, everyone decides it is the place people go when they want to be good students. And that influx of bodies, and laptops, slows the Internet down to minimal usage.
2. More beanies, less heels.
At this point in the semester, it is rare to hear heels clicking down the sidewalk, which might have to do with the cold, snowy, icy weather, or it is simply because it is just not worth the effort anymore. We all have too many other issues that have to do with our classes to worry about what we are wearing. Plus, the beanies hid the fact that our hair hasn’t been washed in days.
3. Less add-ons at the Grille, but MORE coffee shop time.
Our bonus bucks are running low, so we quit adding on extra items at the Grille because we have to save all we have to afford the coffee at the coffee shop while studying in the library.
4. Sleep deprivation everywhere!
You can see it on everyone’s face. Look closely and you can tell girls applied extra makeup to cover up the bags under the eyes. Look around and you might find someone sleeping on the couches in the Student Center, or in one of the secret rooms in the library basement.
5. GERMS.
Because would finals week even really happen if we weren’t all passing around sickness? Everyone is coughing, sneezing, slobbering, and just spreading all that Christmas cheer around. DayQuil and Mucinex for all! The stress and lack of sleep only escalate the situation.
6. Can you say “Crabby?”
Even best friends start yelling and fighting during this time. You love each other, sure, but you just might not like each other right now… Plus it is easier to take it all out on your best friend because you know she is going to be the first to forgive you when finals are over.
7. “Whatever. I’m over it.”
During finals week, you are more likely to hear the words “over it” than you are “hello.” We are over the Wi-Fi, over the beanies, over the coffee, over the exhaustion, over the sickness, over the attitudes, and over being adults.
Finals week is tough for everyone and all of us are Eagles flying together to literally get over this week with our feathers still attached.
May the curve be ever in your favor this finals week.
