As you're nearing the end of your dreaded morning classes, we now have to conquer finals. It's time to sit this weekend out friends ( ya right ) because everything we learned thus far is going to be thrown at us as early as 8 AM. Sit back, relax, study, cry a little, and ace these babies.
1. Prep Studying
Starting studying is always the hardest part; most of the time I can't even make it to the library or crack a book open. When I do make it to the library it's a huge deal and deserves a reward. I like to soak up the accomplishment by browsing tumblr for an hour.
2. FOMO
We all have that friend that took easy courses and has a PowerPoint presentation for her final - and we all hate this friend. We see you at the gym and parading around campus with a smile on your face while we are on the third floor of the library; we see you out and about and question if this degree is really worth it.
3. Odd Final Assignments
Sometimes we would prefer a test rather than making an obscure speech in front of the class. Where do I even begin? Hi I'm Caroline today I am going to be talking to you about statistics - just like the first seven people did - except I have a stutter.
4. Questioning Life
When you hit your third or fourth hour in the library, you start to question if this is even the right thing to be doing? Is this major really *you*? Should you drop out? Questions, questions, questions.
5. When you walk into the exam
Sometimes no matter how hard we stare at the information, it just doesn't soak up. We've all been there - walking into the exam classroom and knowing you're going to absolutely kill it; not in a good way, like brutally murder the test.
6. Group Studying
Group studying can be a great idea if you both don't get easily sidetracked; throw in two teenagers and it's bound to happen. Before you know it calculus turns into a deep talk about your Friday night and the only thing you've learned is too much about your classmate.
7. Staying Up Late
Getting in bed by 9:30 is your best bet to do well for a test because studies have shown that you need a good nights rest before an exam. I actually don't know which study I'm referring to, i'm just passionate about sleeping.
8. Procrastinating
I can name close to 100 things off the top of my head I would rather do than study, and I can name about 75 things I've done instead of study.
9. When The Exam Ends
When the exam ends, your life for the next week won't be the same. You'll have forgotten what it's like to not be in the library; excuse me, not crying in the library. I miss the careless happy old me before finals corrupted me - help!
10. Getting The Tests Back
Getting a test back is the most nerve-wracking moment of our young adult life thus far, besides drinking bucket at a frat. If the teacher hands it back slightly folded so your grade is hidden - you botched it.
