As the semester is wrapping up and finals week is vastly approaching, I can't help but laugh at all of the memes and gifs on Facebook depicting what finals week feels like to a college student. Somewhere between The Office videos, and the Parks and Rec gifs, I decided to use photos that I have taken to truly describe how I feel during finals week.
Can we be honest for a second? College students are very, very similar to babies. Not saying that we act like children, but in reality, we all just want to be fed, held, and carried around occasionally. We're not really sure what to do in certain situations, much like a baby so I think it's fitting to use baby pictures to describe finals week. All of my Facebook friends know and have seen pictures of my daughter Blair, and let me tell you she is even more dramatic than me and she's only two months old. She makes the absolute best faces, that I believe truly depict a college students life this time of year.
1. December is here and you realize that finals week is approaching fast. Almost to fast.
Class after class your professors are loading on the last minute assignments before the end of the semester. Between study guides, group projects, and final papers, Blair definitely knows what she's talking about in this picture.
2. When your professor tells you that the final is accumulative.
Finals are bad enough as it is, now you want me to remember what you taught me in August?
3. When you're assigned a group project as part of your final and no one does their work but you.
Whoever created group projects must want everyone to suffer. Whether you're the only one doing work, trying to communicate with other group members, or just having a disagreement; group projects are the absolute worst.
4.After you spend hours making note cards and finishing study guides to just ultimately stare blankly at everything.
Admit it, you lost count after the twentieth notecard and you're contemplating if it's really worth it.
5. When you have so much stuff to do you decide to take a nap instead.
Kudos to you! You typed your name and title of your final paper! Now go take that nap. Trust me, you deserve it.
6. When you meet with your professor and he won't round your grade up.
"What do you mean you can't round my 30% up to an A...?"
7. When you've pulled an all nighter (or 2) and you've had entirely to much caffeine.
Between no sleep and the ninth or tenth cup of coffee, you're on a caffeine high.
9. When you come up with a plan for a backup job because you're contemplating dropping out.
9. When you get to the final exam and it's short answer instead of multiple choice.
How could a professor do that? They clearly want my brain to explode and my hand to go numb from writing.
10. When finals week is officially over and you get to go home!!
Congrats! Finals week is over. You survived, and now you get to go home and watch unlimited amounts of Netflix and have zero regrets. (Not that there were any before)
I hope you guys enjoyed finals week as told by Blair! Good luck to everyone on their finals and have a great Christmas break (((:
