'Tis the season for sleepless nights, finals at 7 a.m., and dead day literally meaning "dead" day. The only good thing that comes with this time of year is the Christmas holiday and knowing that we are all on this sinking ship together.
So, at least we have one another. And if you are one of those people who swear they have their life together and all figured out, either you are lying or you are telling the truth but we just can't be friends. I thought, since we are all in this together, we can all agree on how it feels to go through the week of hell that is about to come.
1. You spend most of your hours in the day crying in self pity.
2. You spend more time calculating what you need to make on your final to pass the course rather than studying for said exam.
3. You realize your appearance reflects how poorly your semester has been going.
4. You swear you are going to drop out every 5 minutes.
5. You cry some more.
6. You have a freak out session before and after your exams, in anticipation of your final grade.
7. When you realized you actually passed and pretended like you knew you were going to from the start (especially because now you don't have to tell your parents that you are a failure).
8. Knowing you can finally and actually enjoy the Christmas season to come.
I hope you all can relate to these struggles, like me. I am sending some great encouragement and love to you during this stressful time. Merry Finals Week and Happy End of the Semester.
