Oh, exam week. A week and a half filled with stress, stress eating, no-sleep, insane coffee bills, and a constant fear of forgetting something that you're supposed to be doing. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but you're just not sure how you're going to get there. You can't help but to think about how much of a tease Thanksgiving break was as you sit scrolling through FaceBook instead of studying. But never fear, the character's from Bob's Burgers feel your exam week pain as well.
1. After an eventful last day of classes, you wake up the next morning and tell yourself you're going to study and that it won't be too bad. That is until you see how many notes you actually have for that one class that was supposed to be an "easy A."
2. You begin to study and realize that maybe you should have done the reading for that class because your lecture notes actually make no sense. But hey, you've committed now. There's no turning back.
3. After 30 minutes of reading the notes, you begin to find other things way more interesting. FaceBook has never been as interesting as it is now. You're friends encourage you to study, but who are they to tell you what to do?
4.You're desperate to do anything but study, because who likes to be reminded that they have a final coming up. You begin to do anything that sounds interesting.
5. After you somehow overcome the "I don't want to do this why am I in college?" phase you finally actually begin to study. You feel like a champ because you're actually being somewhat productive. After reading the notes once, you then realize that you should've have started studying early and begin to panic. You're not sure what you're doing anymore you just wing it.
6. You have now hit the stage where you're cramming. Instead of starting at a 11 a.m. like you planned, you somehow find yourself just really starting at 8 p.m. You're no longer sure what you're studying for, or if you're even studying for the right exam. You keep telling yourself you have to keep going, even if it means eating a disappointing dinner on the go while cramming.
7. It's now 10 p.m. You get a snap from your friends showing them doing fun things, while you're stuck in a room studying. You begin to wonder if you'll ever see the sunshine again. You've hit maximum self-loathing.
8. You decide to get coffee to finish out the night strong. Through your coffee induced energy, you somehow manage to get your studying done at 2 a.m. Now you can finally sleep, or go back to procrastinating through Netflix or social media.
9. It's exam day. You begin to question if you actually know anything, or if your just making everything up. You finally get the exam, and realize "Hey, this isn't too bad. If I fail at least I'll still have my personality."
10. You've finally finished. You don't know how you did, but all that matters is you've made. Go you. You tell yourself you won't wait that long to study again, but we both know you will.
Don't let exams get you down. You'll survive exam week like a champ.
