It's finally that time of the semester, the end is near!! Here's Harry Potter's version of the 25 day countdown to Christmas.
Day 25: Looking ahead on your calendar and realizing Christmas is so close, yet so far.
Day 24: Last day of regularly scheduled classes, which at first starts off on a positive note, but then you remember you have finals starting in 2 days.
Day 23: That on top of the world feeling you get on reading day when you don't have a final the next day!!
Day 22: When your friend gives you the best gift of all... their old exam to study off of.
Day 21: The first Saturday of finals, when you decide you need to stay in and study while the rest of your friends go out, but later regret the responsible decision completely.
Day 20: When you realize studying in bed with the Kardashian's on just isn't going to cut it so you head to the library and go right to the silent floor to force yourself to focus, but the couple at the table next to you won't stop giggling.
Day 19: The anxiety attack right before your first final.
Day 18: Rushing to Final #2 with your squad because you all collectively thought it was a nice idea to get Starbucks 20 minutes before the exam starts to calm your nerves, but the line took much longer than anticipated.
Day 17: When you receive a 9 page "Study Guide" from your Professor, only to open it and find out it is not in fact filled out, it is actually just 612 open-ended questions.
Day 16: When you've been too stressed and busy to shower and you think dry shampoo and deodorant is cutting it... but the people sitting next to you in the library don't agree.
Day 15: Halfway through final #3 when your friend strolls in late because he overslept.
Day 14: Saturday #2 of finals week when it takes all of your willpower to go to the library and not to stay in bed with Netflix or flee to the closest bar.
Day 13: Even though it's Sunday, there is no time to rest, but you do catch yourself day dreaming about being home.
Day 12: The night before your hardest final when your friend asks you to go out.
Day 11: Walking into your hardest final and knowing there is no turning back now.
Day 11+3/4: Post-hardest final when you start questioning why you even came to college.
Day 10: Walking out of your last final, finally.
Day 9: Saying bye to your friends and wanting to feel sad about it, but you're all too excited to go home to feel any emotion aside from joy.
Day 9+3/4: Rejoicing as your flight lands and home is so close you can taste it!!
Day 8: Seeing your siblings for the first time because your flight got in late the night before and then they had school for 8 hours...
Day 7: When you see your siblings for the second time.
Day 6: Digging into every home cooked meal your mom has made because you haven't eaten real food in months.
Day 5: When you've been home for 4 days, but your hometown BFF selfishly had a final scheduled on the last possible day and finally makes it home.
Day 4: When your dad tells you that your family is hosting Christmas and you won't have to drive 2 hours to a relatives.
Day 3: When you attempt to bake Christmas Cookies after 6 glasses of wine.
