Finals week is certainly the most dreaded time of the year for college students, and the moment we finish that last final of the year is so, so sweet. After finals, college students have a whole three months of summer to look forward to. Here are ten thoughts that might be going through our heads after we finish our finals.
1) I wasn't sure I was going to make it to the end of the year.
The last week month of school can be so overwhelming. With a
ton of end of the year projects, papers, and presentations it can be hard to
see the end in sight. That last month of school can sometimes seem impossible,
but it is so satisfying once you finish.
2) Finals week almost killed me.
Sometimes, we get lucky and finals week isn’t that bad. But sometimes, it doesn’t seem like we will make it out of the week alive. It’s a difficult week with a lot of stress and not enough sleep, but hey, what is college without it?
3) I want to sleep for the next week
After an all nighter or two, sleep is the only thing on your mind. And after being sleep deprived for the last 48 hours, sleeping for a week seems completely reasonable.
4) I'm going to miss my friends this summer
When you decided to stay in your college town for the summer, its kind of strange to see how many people clear out for the summer months, including a lot of your friends. Its strange to say goodbye to the people that you saw everyday you saw during the year, and knowing you wont see them for a few months.
5) Where did everyone go?
Its weird how quickly everyone takes off after finishing finals. If people are heading home for the summer, they don't waste a minute doing so. Its bizarre to see how much things mellow out in the week or so after finals.
6) I am SO ready for summer weather .
The weather is never as warm as we want it to be at the end of finals. Its normally rainy, gloomy, and chilly. The second summer starts, I am ready for the warm, sunny days.
7) Do I really have to start work right away?
I know I need to, and that I would get bored if I didn’t. But after the craziness of finals, the last thing I want to think about is starting my summer job in a few days.
8) I need to get going on my summer bucket list, but first I need to relax for a little bit
We can all be super lazy sometimes, and after finals is
prime time for this. Even though we have summer bucket lists that we are
itching to get started with, it is nice to take a couple days and decompress before we start packing our schedules with millions of things to do.
9) I have a whole three months of freedom!!
This is the best feeling, going into the summer knowing you have three solid months of goof off. It is a time to do all of the things we want to during the rest of the year, but never seem to have time to. Hello summer, goodbye responsibilities.
10) I can' t believe I made it through another school year.
After my freshman year, I was shocked that I made it through my first year of college. Now, I am shocked that I am having way done with college. Where did the time go?
