I'm a list maker. I have a wall devoted to post-it notes that are all lists of things I'm thinking about or things I have to do. Finals week is not a time when I stop making lists, because list making is not a game. So, here's a list of things that I find that NDC students know to be true during finals week of fall semester.
- They take 24-hour quiet hours very seriously. Like conduct hearing and a fine if you violate them seriously.
- If you thought that 8:30 classes were early, just wait til your final starts at 8:15.
- Sweatpants and hoodies are your best friend.
- You will do a lot of crying.
- You will order a lot of pizza.
- You will do anything to get energy. Energy drinks are preferred.
- You will pull at least 3 all-nighters during finals week.
- Anger is the default emotion. And you will get irrationally angry at everyone at some point.
- Junk food is your best friend.
- You will have a mental breakdown at one point.
- You will fall asleep while studying.
- You will sing parodies of songs to describe finals week feels.
- Christmas is torture.
- You will sleep any chance you get.
- Everything will make you cry.
- Netflix, lots of Netflix.
- Everyone is religious and believes in God during finals...they want to pass!
