With finals quickly approaching, everyone’s cramming to ensure success. There are a lot of things a person can do to make sure that they pass all of their classes. This is not any of them. Here are 12 signs that finals may destroy you emotionally, mentally, and physically.
1. You don’t know what the professor’s name is
One of my friends referred to a professor as Professor Ponytail for a whole entire semester. Not knowing a teacher’s name could potentially be a bad sign. If you’re a boss like her though, it doesn’t even really matter.
2. The only class you’ve gone to is the last review session
Only so much material can be covered in two hours.
3. You go to pull out your text book, and it’s covered in dust
You can get away with this for some classes, but it’s never good to have a dusty book. It really shows the substantial lack of effort.
4. You forgot your calculator at home
If they don’t have replacements that you can borrow you might as well walk out of the test right there.
5. Your alarm didn’t go off at the right time
I get so nervous before finals that I barely sleep. One of my professor’s always says that showing up is half of the battle. Having an alarm that you know will wake you up is key, especially when it comes to finals. A lot of teachers will lock you out, so getting there is a necessity.
6. You didn't know that it was cumulative
You can feel so prepared for the recent chapters you studied, but that’s not going to save you when it comes to the other 80 percent of the test. Hopefully there are tissues there to wipe away the tears because this is heartbreaking.
7. The first question is a full page
You need to understand a question in order to answer it, and if the question is too long to read I just call it a loss right there.
8. You pray that there won’t be that one lecture on the test to find out that one lecture is the short-answer question
Teachers can sometimes go crazy with certain topics, and it’s most often the topics that no one understands. Darn Krebs Cycle never ends.
9. When your friend quizzes you before walking in, and you don’t know any of the answers
That sheer panic you feel when you don’t know a single word that just came out of their mouth.
10. If your notebook looks like this:
11. The person next to you finishes in 20 minutes, while you’re only on the second question
We’ve all been there. Either they knew everything and are a complete genius, or they just gave up on life and chose to leave in style.
12. Instead of studying, Netflix calls your name
Studying or Netflix? Is that even a question?
Hopefully none of these apply to you, and if they do you still have time to change it! Hit the library up, use your smart friends for added knowledge, and pray to anyone who will listen. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.
