Most people equate final exams with one of the worst experiences of college.
But as you sit there desperately trying to learn a semester’s worth of information in three days, we want you to consider that life could be worse.
To lift your studying spirits, here are 21 Gainesville experiences worse than finals.
1. When the bars are getting ready to close and all you want is a cheesy, greasy slice of pizza. You drunkenly walk up to the window and remember that Pizza by the Slice is closed.
2. Getting an MIP at Midtown on a game day.
3. Gainesville parking.
4. When Midtown is one-in one-out and you get cut in line by a massive group of squealing 21st birthday “Sign Night” girls
5. Driving on Archer Road at any time of day
6. Getting a parking ticket 10 minutes before parking lifts.
7. Using the doorless female bathrooms at Rowdy’s.
8. Going to an exam and forgetting your Gator One .
9. Participating in the Career Showcase.
10. Waiting at the UF infirmary feeling like you’re about to die, only for them to tell you to “drink lots of fluids”
11. When she pees your bed.
12. The line at Chipotle at 5 p.m. on Sunday nights.
13. The Pub Sub line at Frat Publix (and the guy at the front is ordering three goddamn sandwiches)
14. People that try to make conversation at Southwest Rec.
15. Losing your football ticket at the tailgate.
16. When your fake gets taken by the Salty Dog bouncer.
17. Your feet the day after you wear sandals to Midtown.
18. When you forget to look busy and are handed 10 flyers in Turlington
19. Pooping at Library West, especially when there’s no toilet paper. (Shoutout Lib West janitorial staff.)
20. When you miss $5 dollar triples by a few minutes.
21. The RTS bus system.
