Finals Week & Social Media

Finals week. Something that all college students must endure during their undergraduate and graduate careers. In recent years however, finals week is becoming a shared phenomenon among collegiate students across the country.

Social media has allowed students to connect to others that are in the same situation. Now students can see what other students are doing during their finals week in real time, making the finals week experience about more than just the individual, but also those who are in the same situation.

Social media sites such as Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook are giving their users access to the finals week tribulations across the country. Snapchat created a live story that runs during finals week and gives students across the country the chance to share their finals week study habits and stories. Instagram and Facebook have hashtags that students can use in posts so that they can see what other students across the country are doing.
