Insert Clever Title Relating to Content Matter Here

Yea. It's finals week. I have an ever-expanding list of things I need to be doing, and a heightening stress level, and yet I manage to be seduced by probably every single click-bait in existence. Just yesterday, instead of studying for finals, I read at least 20 articles online about how to study for finals. So very meta. I also spent about seven hours on youtube, watching funny videos about finals week (probably filmed by students who needed to be studying for finals). I don't know what it is about college students, but we do seem to be a population with the highest rates of patheticness-- this includes bored housewives, junkies, and homeless folks. There's nothing quite as demeaning and positively depressing about being a college student. Truly, if you're feeling crappy about your life, just go hang out on a college campus near the end of the semester and revel in all the 20-something's pain. I promise it'll make you feel a lot better about your level of efficacy. Seriously-- look at some of this stuff.

An Article all about things we do instead of studying
And another article
And another
Or how about an entire website about it?
Have about fifty billion videos too
And finally my favorite
... Not to mention the billions of other videos, articles, and memes to look at instead of working.

You just KNOW that last guy had finals to study for. I would like to add here that I personally have 4 more papers to write, 3 Final Exams, and 2 Huge Projects to complete before next Wednesday. And yet, here I am. Mocking the thousands of college students doing the exact same thing I'm doing. A part of me wants to fight against my apathy and become this amazing "Finals Week Crusader: Protector of GPAs and Scholarship Requirements!" But most of my being is content with melting into the demographic of pathetic, self-loathing, procrastinating college students. Surely the violent fight between apathy and fulfillment in comparable, if not more noble, than Hamlet's classic struggle between To be or Not to be. To study or Not to study-- that is the question!
