Ah, finals week. Probably the most stressful time for a college student to go through. So close to done, yet so far. It is virtually impossible to have an easy week, but hey, no one said life was easy. Finals are just something we all have to go through, and at least we are all in this together. You're just a few exams and papers away from summer, you'll get through it. Late nights at the library, mental breakdowns, papers on papers on papers — welcome to finals week in college, folks. It may be stressful, but look at the bright side — you can laugh about it later. Here is a pretty good description of what a college student's last week of school looks like.
1. When you are struggling for 10 minutes on a multiple choice question, but then finally figure it out.
Always thank your brain, it goes through a lot.
2. When you are writing a 10-page paper the night before it is due... at 1 a.m.
Procrastination will forever be the death of college students.
3. When you’re listening to Beyoncé's new album as you study.
Okay, ladies, now let's get in formation (and pass this exam).
4. When you have two exams in one day, back to back.
Try to breathe, please.
5. The feeling that you get when you pass a really hard exam.
Please don't do this in public.
6. When you are a sentence over the minimum page requirement for your research paper.
Hallelujah.7. When someone asks you how your exam went.
No comment...
8. When you leave an exam and remember the right answers (and you got them wrong).
Aw, shucks! Don't you hate when that happens?
9. When you see someone you don't like cheating off you.
Death-glare on point.
10. When your professor tells you that your exam is open book/open notes, and you didn't study.
You know you lucked out.
11. When your research paper needs at least 15 sources.
Not necessary.
12. When someone across the classroom asks you if you know the answer (and you obviously don't).
I don't know, I'm just as stupid as you!
13. When you get to the final, and realize you skipped class too many times.
It happens.
14. When you finish your last final, and you finally get to go home for the summer.
Woohoo!
There you go, the life of a college student during finals week. It can be horrible and stressful, but it does not last forever. Hopefully you can see the humor in your struggle. Or maybe not. Just remember that we all go through it, and you just got to keep trying your best. Hard work pays off, so keep studying, keep typing those papers and kill your finals. You can get through it. May the odds be ever in your favor.
