Enough said.
1. When you realize exactly how much information you're going to need to memorize (in the span of a few short days):
There's nothing as troubling than looking at all of your notes and realizing just how much you're going to have to study.
2. Figuring out that you final exam is worth THIRTY percent of your total grade:
Why is one test worth so much? What sense does it make to give one test have the ability to make or break your grade? Totally unfair.
3. Looking back at your notes & realizing you're missing half of the information that is supposed to be on the final:
The second most troubling thing in the world: missing entire chapters of lecture notes...sends shivers down your spine.
4. Calculating what you have to get on the final in order to receive the grade that you want:
I dare you to find a college student that hasn't used Rodgerhub.
5. Trying to find a place in the library to take a quick nap like:
When it comes to studying, 20-minute naps are the key to success. There is nothing better than finding a quiet corner in the library, snuggling up on the couch or chair, and taking a quick snooze.
6. When you come across someone who has a version of last semester's final:
You would think that most professors would change the final from semester-to-semster...but you're wrong. When you come across one of these bad boys, keep it and pass it along to the next student. We're all in this together!
7. Getting a copy of a study guide from that one really smart kid in the class:
These people...there is a special place in heaven reserved for these kids.
8. Going over past notes and tests like:
No explanation needed. If Bill Nye says it make no sense, then we're all screwed.
9. When you take a look at the test after your professor first hands it out:
This moment could either be the most glorious ten seconds of your life, or the most treacherous. Pray that it's the first one.
10. Checking your grades once they're posted and realizing that you didn't do that bad after all.
While finals may be tough, in the grand scheme of things, they really aren't that bad. In the end, we all do a lot better than we expect... and even if we don't, there's always next semester. Happy studying y'all!
