It is the last week of classes! Finally! After a semester that seemed like it would never end, the end is finally near. After Thanksgiving, you get comfortable and enjoy being home, but you have to go back to school to finish the year. With all the projects, papers and finals coming up, it is hard to find motivation and you constantly have doubts about yourself. I guarantee you have thought about each of these things.
1. "What do I have to get on my final to pass the class?"
After doing some calculations, you realize you need a 8946% on the final just to pass, so that is not a fun time.
2. "How much sleep am I going to get tonight?"
None. You see all of the homework you have to do and know you are going to be pulling an all-nighter.
3. "I wonder if my professor is going to offer any extra credit."
After realizing you need an impossible grade on you final to pass, extra credit is your last hope.
4. "I do not feel like doing any of this."
Spending hours working on things gets old, and you start to get tired. You lose motivation, but hang in there. It is almost over.
5. "I hate group projects."
It is really difficult trying to find the time to meet, and it is even more difficult when your group members are not being cooperative.
6. "Why do professors make us do all this stuff the last week instead of throughout the semester?"
This is the most frustrating thing. Throughout the semester, you only have a few assignments here and there, but once the end of the semester comes, they want that 10 page paper on the last day of classes. Stop it.
7. "I am so tired."
Yeah... maybe that all-nighter was not such a good idea.
8. "I cannot wait to go home."
One more week of classes then a week of finals. You got this!
9. "I am just going to drop out 'cause I do not want to do this anymore."
If you are not hating life or do not contemplate dropping out at least once, you are not doing college right.
10. "Why am I still here?"
It seems like it will never end.
11. "At least the whole school feels my pain."
As weird as it is, it is comforting knowing every one else wants to pull their hair out as much as you do.
12. "Am I starting to get sick?"
You start forgetting to take care of yourself, so you do not eat as well as you should and the stress is catching up to you. You start to have a runny nose and you cough some. Medicine will be your best friend.
13. "Only three more weeks until Christmas!"
Even if you do not like Christmas, it gives you something to look forward to. It reminds you that you are going home and get to see your family soon.
14. "I think I am dying."
Although you are not, it sure feels like it.
15. "Is this college thing really worth it?"
Again, dropping out seems more and more likely as the days pass.
16. "I wish this were my last semester."
17. "I miss my dog/cat/pet."
18. "I really hope the final is not cumulative."
Cumulative finals are the devil and should be illegal.
19. "How many more assignments do I have?"
No matter how much work you have gotten done, it feels like the pile is never going away.
20. "I need a nap."
If you have the opportunity to, take a nap. You will probably need it and you do not need to get more suck than you already are.
