10 Experiences Every Senior Has During Spring Finals
The Daily Dot

It is universally shown, in listicles across the internet, that finals season is the most difficult time of the semester for college students the world over. But have you ever thought, "What about finals during the spring semester of senior year? What are those like?" Well, if you have then you've come to the right place, and if you haven't, then consider this a thought-provoking article. As you will see, there are a lot of feelings evoked by your very last finals season, and with the help of the magical world of Harry Potter, I'm here to relate to you about what happens when...

1. The Sunday before finals week arrives

Filled only with paranoia, dread, and a dangerous amount of coffee, you prepare yourself for the week ahead by alternating between procrastinating by lip-syncing songs from Hamilton in your mirror and internally (and sometimes externally) yelling at yourself to study.

2. You finally force yourself to go to the library and you run into your studious friend

Your friend is Malfoy in this situation, therefore you are Goyle.

3. Someone asks how your ~*final*~ finals week is going

You can't help but find yourself wondering why seniors even have to take finals - in your last few weeks of college before a grown-up job and crushing student loan debt, you should be allowed to spend your time day drinking and watching RuPaul's Drag Race. Plus, you've already proven yourself capable seven times!

4. Someone asks where you're going to live after graduation, since you don't have a job lined up yet

Honestly, you're just ready to escape a campus now overrun by youths (fine, "first years"), subpar dining hall food, and the constant stress of essays and tests looming over your head.

5. Someone brags about how they've already got their dream job lined up, and not only that but they've basically finished all of their term papers

While you're very glad for them and you wish them all the lack of stress in the world, you also really want them to keep their happiness and carefree attitude to themselves.

6. Your friend tries to tell you that she has a higher mountain of work than you

No one is interested in being forced into competing in the Spring 2016 Stress Olympics.

7. Your professor says there will be a chance to earn extra credit on the final...

but then the extra credit turns out to be an impossibly hard question

It seems only logical that extra credit be an easy question, doesn't it? It's like the professor wants you to fail, even on the part of the test designed to help you boost your grade.

8. Your best friend gives you a pep talk when your inevitable breakdown occurs

As a senior in your final semester of college, you are experiencing a lot of emotions and stressors all at once. You are leaving the comfort of being in school and the support structure provided by living with all of your friends, only to be facing the anxiety of having to make moves towards starting a career, begin paying back your student loans, and, most likely, establish yourself in a brand new place. The end of college is an incredibly difficult time, even without the addition of finals!

9. You walk out of your last exam...

And hand in your last term paper

There must be no better feeling than having completed your schoolwork for the very last time.

10. You contemplate how you're about to enter the real world, but also know that you're going to finally experience freedom

So keep your chin up over the next few weeks, my fellow seniors, and use your daydreams of being handed that diploma to keep you going.

And remember that once you graduate, this is roughly the feeling you will experience:

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
