It's the season after summer, it's before the winter, it's exams, it's exams, it's....exams. Once again, we've circled half-circle and have somehow made our way to the last few weeks of the semester. There's merely one obstacle standing between us and winter break (we can ignore just how harrowing that obstacle is, right?) Here's the Coog version of what finals week looks like at our good old University of Houston.
1. The library is open 24 hours; pajama party in
the learning commons?
2. Of course, you’re going to enter Finals Week like
never before. You’re in it to win it
3. Then that moment when you realize you’re missing half
of the semester’s notes
4. Although, really, it’s not your fault your professor didn’t
keep attendance
5. Your friends might try to tutor you but one look at
your face and they know it’s a lost cause
6. Stressing over calculus seems insignificant when you get to take a break to play with puppies
7. Then it’s back to the books, of course…
8. So, you’re slightly confused when Exam Day rolls
around and the questions haven’t been translated from whatever foreign language
the professor wrote them in. This is a joke, right?
9. You even rubbed the giant Sasha and Shasta cougar
statues for good luck in the morning. Maybe some people are just born with
rotten luck
10. That exam clock’s ticking away and you realize you’re
sort of screwed
.
11. But hey, that’s one small step for exam season, and
one giant leap towards winter break (cue self-pep speech about leaving the
past in the past.)
12. And at least there’s still Finals Mania to look
forward to—free pancakes for dinner? Sign me up!
