The week or two before spring break is never stress-free. There are always random writing assignments that spring up or an exam you thought wasn't for another week, but is actually in two days. This time is not always fun, but keeping in your mind that it is less than seven days until a week of no school will keep you motivated. Until then, here are seven thoughts that we're all having.
1. "Why do I have zero time to do anything I want to do?"
This last week feels like work overload, and we never expect it because midterms aren't supposed to be like finals week, but they sure feel like it.
2. "Can I go home now?"
Everyone is in need of a long break but it is still a whole week away. The time may go by slowly, but soon it will be there and you can finally relax.
3. "I love how all my professor want to give us an exam on Green Beer Day."
I was lucky enough as a freshman to have my professor move our exam up to the Tuesday before spring break. It seems like this year's professors are not being so generous...
4. "Is it too late to work on my bikini body?"
Everyone always has the idea that they will be going on a diet leading up to spring break, but being overly stressed and in college is not a good match for trying to stay healthy and workout 24/7.
5. "Did on turn in my paper on time?"
There are too many assignments and too many tests to study for -- you gotta keep your mind in check and set lots of reminders for due dates!!
6. "Lets hope the professor feels like being nice and curves the exam."
Midterms are never too easy, but if you put the effort in to study and try your best, then that is all that matters. There are going to be other exams and ways to help save your grade.
7. "Only one more week and then I am free."
The time will fly by and soon enough you will be relaxing on the beach with your friends. One more week of working your ass off will be worth it.
It feels better knowing everyone is going through this and you are definitely not alone in your stress and agony. But soon enough you will be on break and not thinking about those stressful few weeks before.
