Ahhhh finals season. The end of school is near and basically everyone has a painful case of spring fever. You find yourself continuously shutting your eyes, imagining yourself on a beach somewhere, anywhere at all, wondering when the time of relaxation and summer break will actually come and if it actually still exists, that is. The light at the end of the tunnel is so close, yet so far. There's just one thing standing in between you and summer. One word, six letters. Finals.

You find yourself sitting in class, finals review after finals review. You look outside, yearning to be amongst the trees and warm air. As much as you wish you were skipping around outside with your friends without a worry in the world, that's just too bad. Finals reviews will prepare you for the daunting exams that lie ahead so there's nothing better to do than sit there and take it all in.

So you've sat through all of the reviews, you've gone to office hours and asked your teachers all of the questions that you don't really care about the answer to; you just needed to show that you care. You've even gone to the library and put in countless study hours, all to hope that you might pass.

Now you find yourself the night before your first exam, chewing away at your nails. Should you stay up and study? Should you get your beauty rest and hope that the things you do know stick in your brain till tomorrow? Ug.

A soft smile is all you can manage at this point.

All of a sudden, you have a change of heart. You wake up early, shower, and prep yourself for what is to come. Put on your lucky outfit girl and throw on those sunglasses, because you’re about to kill it.

Three Words. Eight Letters. You did it.

And finally, finals season is over. The light at the end of the tunnel is finally here and the warm ocean breeze is actually in sight. You throw your old papers out, allowing them to go up in flames once and for all. And the good thing? You don’t have to see finals every again. Until next year that is.

Xoxo,
