Finals, the dreaded season of misery very college student must suffer through because a single test is worth more than a semester of work. Puppies make everything better though right? So, here's a sneak peek at all of the feelings you'll be experiencing during this awful week, but portrayed by adorable balls of fluff with paws and ears too big for their own good.
1. That last day of class feeling.
I definitely ran out the door of my last class on Friday. Feeling the freedom and the bitter taste of finals that come before complete freedom. If we were in prison, this would be like when you get a little bit of re-integration with the world after months of solitary confinement.
2. The Treat Stage.
Friday night, if you're like me, you had a nice little treat. Mine was ice cream, some other peoples' might have been less kid-friendly. I'm not here to judge. This corgi certainly likes their little snack!
3. The Nap To Rule All Naps
I like going to bed early, but my nap when I got everything done Friday afternoon was the true feeling of bliss. But, mixed in you're also starting to feel the stress of the weekend being study days for the worst week of the semester (Unless your mid-terms were more stacked up than finals week. Who thought it was a good idea to take two finals a week apart! What do I even do with my time?!)
4. When you wake up wondering what day it is because your nap turned into a sleep.
Oh yeah, it's finals studying time... right.
5. Studying time really means how long can I procrastinate?
So here we are... ready to study. Wait! Dog memes on Odyssey? No way! *Gets lost on the internet for hours until you slowly come to the realization your first final is sneaking up on you and you have to study NOW.*
6. STUDYING. CRAMMING. Trying to learn everything you were supposed to learn all semester in a day.
It's not working, and you're slowly trying to figure out what was actually important in the class. And, it was all important. So you're cramming it in your head, forgetting things almost faster than you can remember them. Good times. Remind me not to do this again next semester, please!
7. Going to your exam.
Doing your best not to walk too hard so that the information doesn't fall out of your head on the way. Also trying to find a new building and a different room because every section takes the exam together, and if this was the exam, you are failing because the campus is actually confusing again.
8. Getting to the exam and seeing the first question.
Might as well just not even put my name on this because I spent 42 hours procrastinating and six studying and I remember nothing!
9. Leaving the exam wondering how dumb your TA thinks you are.
And praying heavily for a curve. Maybe that super smart kid didn't mess it up for everyone this time. Guess we'll have to wait and see, you tell yourself even while you know there's never going to be a curve because of Dave.
10. Getting your grades back later online.
Being mad and swearing to do better next time because you definitely deserved an A when you got a B-. But overall still being at peace with the fact you passed the class.
11. Trying to find your normal again after it's all over.
It's not happening but give it a few weeks and maybe you'll feel like a human again. All of that caffeine has to work it's way out of your body first.
Exams suck, but puppies don't, so at least while your procrastinating, you can be sure that looking at dogs actually makes you more productive! So yay!
