We’re not sure where the rest of the semester went, but finals week is finally here...unfortunately. Students quickly regret those days of procrastinating those assignments that were due by the end of the semester to binge their favorite shows on Netflix.
Along the way, those midday naps quickly turn to late nights or even all-nighters. Salem Saberhagen, Sabrina Spellman’s witty kitty, talks his way through life that relates to our finals dilemmas on a personal level.
1. The deadline is actually earlier than what you remembered, and you haven’t even started that 20-page paper you’re supposed to write
2. When you look at the study guide and don’t remember learning any of this material
3. And then the mental breakdowns after the all-nighters kick in, and you feel everyone else has it easier than you
4. When the results from your exhaustion make you late for the only exam that's worth three-quarters of your grade
5. When that one classmate walks out of your hardest exam and says, "that was easy."
6. And, of course, the feeling you get when the professor decides to NOT grade on a curve
7. Then the crisis kicks in where you start questioning "why am I here?" and "what am I doing with my life?"
8. And then the dread of checking Blackboard to see your final grade, and just in case, you call your parents to warn them so they won't be mad
9. When you see your friends post on Facebook about their 4.0 semester
10. And when finally, all is well and back to normal, and summer is finally here
Even though this time of year is super stressful, everything winds down and ends up being alright in the end...unless your Salem, then the pains of being a cat never stop.
