Taking finals during your first semester at college definitely makes you wish you were back at orientation. Between the studying, sleeping, and managing to do everything else, it has become a crazy whirlwind of a month. I feel that Ross really speaks to me during finals week, so here is finals as a first year in college as told by Ross Geller.
When your final is on the last day during the last time slot and the best part, it's a presentation.
I have been blessed by this. I get to sit and twiddle my thumbs from Wednesday afternoon to Friday afternoon for a presentation in Statistics *cue tears*.
When you realize that you don't remember half of what the professor taught and you have to reteach yourself just about everything.
When you try to explain your stress and your family tells you that you should have studied during Thanksgiving break.
I just wanted to enjoy my holiday and not think about school. Please don't haunt me with these awful sayings.
When you wake up the day of your exam and totally forgot to review a whole section you know will be on the exam.
When you read an exam question and realize that it is something your professor said that they will explicitly not put on the exam.
This happened to me during a midterm and will most likely happen to me during the final. I will never understand Economics, so please don't try to teach it to me in a class that is not about Economics.
When you take your exam and realize you are leaving the worst class in the entire world and you never have to associate with that professor ever again.
When you realize you are completely done with your first semester of college and get to go home!
Woohoo! Time for winter break and celebrating the holidays!
Good luck on finals everyone! Happy studying!
