Finals week is so stressful. The majority of our grade is decided all in about five days for every single class. We have to study for multiple classes at the same time and re-learn things that we learned months ago. Our hand often feels like it is going to fall off from making flash cards and our brains feel at maximum capacity. It can feel like a lot of pressure, but luckily our friends at the office kinda understand how we feel.
When the professor/teacher says the final will be accumulative.
This basically means that the final will cover absolutely everything that has ever been talked about in every class meeting ever. No big deal.
Trying to stay awake while studying.
Come on you can do this. Just a few more hours or something. If you fall asleep now you'll never graduate.
When you get a glance of your study guide.
Okay, this is a lot of information. And this is just for one class. Sometimes the only cure for stress is ice-cream. So put your stretchy pants on and get back to studying.
When that overachiever says they've already started studying.
Go ahead and rub your amazing time management skills in our faces. As if we weren't panicking enough now we realize we should've started studying months ago like you.
When you get the 5 minutes remaining warning.
But I still have half of the test left. No, I refuse to accept this. I will stay here until this is finished or until I am kicked out. Where did all that time go. Surely I didn't spend that much time thinking about all the food I'll have over break.
Trying to manage your time so you have more time to study.
Sometimes you've gotta brush you teeth while walking to class or eat while typing a paper. It is called multitasking and it crucial to have enough time to study for everything.
When your friends ask if you want to go out.
Oh it is so tempting. The good part of you is saying that you should stay in and study. However, the adventurous side is tempting you to go for it and to have some fun. It is a battle in the mind. You try to think of when you could make up for the time loss when you are going out.
When someone asks you how you think you did.
Honestly, it could go either way. It is so up in the air sometimes it's not even funny.
when someone decides to talk about something unrelated to school and finals.
Thank you for changing things up and getting our minds off of our upcoming academic death.
Thinking about all the times you should've appreciated when you didn't have finals.
We took that time for granted.
Trying to convince people to study with you.
Come on, I bring some things to the table.
When finals are finally over.
Raise the roof. We survived and we could not be happier.
