Desperate times call for desperate measures, and the most desperate time of the year for college students is finals week. Don't believe us? Just ask these students who summed up the horror of finals week in 140-character tweets that are a combination of caffeine overload and complete panic — or these students who not only have to worry about studying, but doing so while fasting during Ramadan. As one student wrote, "I've already cried 5 times in the past 14 hours and I haven't even had to say goodbye to anyone yet."
Whatever the case, during finals week, if something can go wrong it will. Because waiting until the last minute to write that 10-page research paper is always a good idea, right?
Someone who knows that all too well is Twitter user @ColinChambers44, who shared a hilarious screenshot of what he's been reduced to, just a few hours before his research paper was due and the "M" key mysteriously crapped out on his computer keyboard:
I have a research paper due in 4 hours and the letter M on my keyboard is broken pic.twitter.com/WkUmmiSjak
to all of you out there who got your masters degree in criminal investigation and are experienced detectives: congrats on noticing the M in May, microsoft word adds the date automatically
Though some people have presented him with some workarounds:
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Use these untill you run out. I can send more.
Workarounds are important, because you will be driven to desperate measures, like begging for extra credit:
it’s that time of the semester!!! (PSA to this homie... next time when ur begging for extra credit don’t send it to the whole class) pic.twitter.com/EOL47fL9nI

It's not about your mood:
I emailed my professor and meant to say “I am worried I don’t understand some material on our next test” BUT I ACCIDENTALLY SENT THIS HELPME pic.twitter.com/iPrv5KwQD8
My teacher asked who had seen infinity war, and when I told him not to spoil it, because I haven’t seen any of the marvel movies, he got up and wrote me a list movies I need to watch before I see IW
