It's the most terrible time of the semester, finals! Depending on what college o university you attend, you've either already took your finals, or you're about to take your finals. Whatever the case may be, we can all agree on the fact that finals just plain suck.
College, in general, is just stressful. Having to take more twelve or more credit hours, registering for the correct course, and studying every single day. The first day of the semester you tell yourself that you can handle the workload, that you'll be on top of your game, and excel in your academic ability.
Come finals week and you still have to write six papers, create a presentation, take three exams, and find time to breathe and eat within that busy schedule. Right now is crunch time. I myself am rapidly getting work done as fast as humanly possible. We've al been there, and we're all in this position at the moment.
All of this studying, reading, and writing is stressful at the moment. But the best feeling in the world is when you know you don't ever have to think about the material as soon as you're done with your final assignments. Once you put that pencil down, you can take the longest nap. You are finally free from the clutches of academics, at least until
The following semester begins.
Just know that you are more than capable to succeed. Get plenty of rest before your exams. Take study breaks if you have to. Eat plenty of snacks, and drink plenty of coffee and water to keep hydrated and energized. Organize your studying; split up the amount of studying for your courses evenly, so you won't feel guilty about studying for one class more than the other. Most importantly, try your best. Yes, there could be a lot on the line.
But you can always take a class again, ask for academic forgiveness with your school's administration. No class, no exam, and no assignment is worth having a meltdown over.
If you feel like nobody is rooting for your success, just know that I am rooting for everyone's success, even my own. So good luck to everyone taking their finals in the upcoming weeks. If this is your first time taking college finals, or your last time taking college finals, just know that you'll do just fine.
