1. First, you are so ready to study. Pumped, even. If you get an A on the final then there is a strong chance that you could pass the class and actually improve your grade!
2. Then you actually open your textbook that has been under your desk for a semester to find that maybe you don't know as much material as you originally thought.
3. So you decide your best option is to trek outside in the winter tundra to the library to meet up with your friends and be in a studious environment.
4. Studying starts to go well. You are learning things that you never have before, and suddenly you have a clearer picture of the world and the subject that you are choosing to study.
5. Three chapters later, you have an emotional break-down in the library. Everyone becomes a little delirious and someone usually ends up dancing or singing. Studying is awesome, but after a few hours, everyone goes a little crazy.
6. Then you start to wonder how your parents will react when they see your semester grades...
7. You look ahead to the rest of the material for that class and realize that your cumulative final basically includes everything you have ever learned, ever.
8. Before you know it, the day of your final is quickly approaching and needless to say, you are not 100 percent prepared for it.
9. The day has come. You were up half the night studying before giving up and going to sleep around 3 AM. You wake up in the morning somewhat ready to tackle the exam.
10. Somehow you manage to get through the exam.
11. But then you realize it is finally time for winter break!!!
12. You can finally enjoy hot chocolate, all things peppermint and snow.
Finals can be one daunting task, but at least it's an excuse to take over the library, wear comfy clothes and drink a ton of coffee. Just don't pull a Princess Aurora and fall asleep for five years, and you should be just fine.
