52 Snap Chats of UVic students during FINALS!

There’s a special time every term when students come together to laugh and cry, cheer and yell, fight and hug, but throughout it all, we bond together and always coming out strong.

Many drown their sorrows with ice cream; others turn to the bars, but let’s take a look inside UVic students during FINALS:

1. That moment when you realize life is over and instead of studying, you put your head on your notes in the hopes that osmosis will do its thing. #sciencemajor

2. Or when you realize that osmosis doesn’t actually work that way and you simply give up. #notsciencemajor #failingbio

3. When you decide that watching the hockey playoffs in your residence building lounge is more important than studying. #gocanucksgo

4. Only during finals week will it make complete sense and be rational for you to set an alarm for 40 minutes. #sleepisfortheweak

5. When you have pens on pens and drinks on drinks to help you get through the next dozens of hours.

6. Not even our mascot, Thunder, wants to study. Instead he’s in the gym working on his summer body.

7. Procrastination gets the best of us too; who wants some procrastination pie courtesy of Samantha Bright?

8. There are some of us that feel hopeful and actually enjoy the material we study. #nerd

9. Then there are some of us that decide a little sunshine out at Petch Fountain is better than an A. #dropout

10. And there are others that just can’t take it and have meltdowns at McPherson Library #crying #dying

11. We all find ourselves eating the best food during finals and buying in bulk. Mystic Market is definitely a savior. #gourmet

12. However, most of us are hella cheap. #starvingstudents

13. Many of us tend to go crazy and do some really weird things, like type with shoes on our feet. You know it’s finals week when…  #areyouokay

14. Some of us study in super weird positions. #faceplant #what?

15. Also, we study everywhere we can. A little cram sesh on the bus anyone? #notweird

16. You’ll always see UVic students studying away on the ferry, trying to finish that 5 hour assignment on a 90 minute ride. #yeahright

17. How about a little study sesh at Cadboro Bay? #beachlife #notactuallystudying

18. The weather is beautiful! Soak up the rays while you digest them notes. #sunnyweather

19. Tons of students stay at home to study, so how about a little backyard fun with a smoothie in hand?

20. We already mentioned studying at the ferries, right?

21. It’s impossible to get away from the nice weather at UVic so us students, we do it up right!

22. Some of us though, prefer a nice window view from Clearihue. It’s kind of like torture actually, but we see it as goal-setting. #almostthere

23. Then there are those that don’t even make it outside. #whataview

24. And there are those that just don’t even try to study and instead hang out on rez balconies. #breaks. #rezlife

25. Why not have a little fun and reference some movies like Harry Potter? #thechamberoffinals

26. Or get a boost of confidence from your friend. “The Help” was a great movie but I don’t think that’s being totally supportive here? Is this supposed to be inspirational or a mockery?

27. When you go from one exam and start studying for the next one .#norest #ham

28. Uhm, okay?

29. The clock just goes on… and on….

30. And on…

31. And on….

32. It’s bad when coursespaces kicks you off though…

33. And we all know that everyone calculates their bare minimum grades needed to pass. #onlyneeda30 #rogershub

34. Bless this girl, she doesn’t even go here #meangirls but she’ll know what it feels like soon enough. #1styearproblems

35. And this guy… #donteven

36. He just looks straight up, too happy. #botox

37. When you can use your hands to count what percentage you’ll land on your final exam, you know it’s bad.

38. There’s the classic sitting in front of your material.

39. Psych…

40. Calm down, too excited. #stopit

41. Still too excited. #doyoureallyloveit?

42. Econ…

43. Othello…

44. Then you reach a moment and you just know you can’t. #giveup

45. So you try to become a rapper and we all know, it’s not gonna work out. #DJstatzmajor

46. When your friends aren’t done their finals, but you are. So you turn to your other “friends” and stream episodes on Netflix. #ross

47. It seems that most peoples’ post exam go-to is Netflix.

48. But not everyone. Wouldn’t you rather head to Felicita’s for an ice cold one? It’s always good to have a drink after a final, doesn’t matter if you did good or bad – beer doesn’t judge. #campuspub #sweetnectar

49. Everyone loves study buddies, even if they are totally fake.

50. That feeling when you’re done though… #bliss

51. But you know you should be studying. #screwed

52. And you just take selfies instead. #govikesgo

Remember to add “vikesnation” to snapchat and send us your study selfies!
