With the end of the semester approaching us, college students are all in the dreaded period of studying for finals, AKA the most stressful time of the year. Sure, we are eventually rewarded with a month-long break, but at this point, in the middle of the madness, winter break feels like it is centuries away. There are many memes that can be used to explain the stress of finals from some of our favorite television characters like Michael Scott or really anyone from Friends, but what about Scott Disick? Because who could relate to the stress of finals more than someone who most likely has never taken a test in his life and used to be driven to school in a limousine? You'd actually be surprised.
When it comes to worrying about a class that is completely unrelated to your major or anything you'd ever be interested in doing:
Someone tell me why I have to be worrying about an Earth Science final when I am Public Relations major?
"The final is commutative."
The most heartbreaking combination of words.
When the professor tells you how his/her students usually study for the final:
Nothing like when a professor acts as if his/her class is the only one you take. I'm just looking to pass and maintain my GPA.
The endless cycle of going to the library and class:
"All aboard" could not be more accurate because literally every single student is in the same place. Going to the library at this point is almost unproductive because getting a seat, let alone a table, is some sort of miracle.
What Studying Looks Like:
1. Making sure you are caught up on everything before you start to work:
If only the world could just stop when you are studying so you don't miss anything.
2. Snacks are a necessity.
With the endless cycle of going to library and class, being able to sit down for an actual meal is nearly impossible, so snack whenever possible.
3. After studying for hours:
Why am I doing this to myself?
Texting a friend in your class for help and waiting what feels like forever for a response:
As Cady Heron once said "The limit does not exist," so always answer your phone because there are no limits to the number of texts that can be sent when it comes to getting help during finals week. No shame.
When you really give up and need to find an alternative career path for when you drop out of school:
Honestly, anything's possible.
When you eventually decide there is no future for you as a rap artist, go to take your test, start to flip through the pages and feel like you are looking at pages of brand new material:
What a feeling when nothing you were told to study ends up being on the test and you think about the time you wasted studying, crying and thinking of your future rap name.
Thinking about celebrating the end of finals and break during your last test:
Basically thinking about anything other than the test in front of you.
"When you leave I am going to need you to fill out your course evaluations!"
No thanks. One I'm done, I'm done.
When finals are officially over:
Best of luck to everyone on your finals! It probably doesn't feel like it now, but the end is near!
