We’re on day two of finals week and tensions are running high. Meal plan is running low. People are passing out while studying in the lobby. This must be the true nature of college.

Fear not, however! The week is nearly over, and soon enough we can all go home for a month.

Depending on which classes you took and which professors you had, finals come in different forms: some are presentations, some are performances, and some are old school, pen-on-paper exams.

I’ve been lucky enough to have relatively simple finals… I had the opportunity to present information about an experiment I’m passionate about, and I get to perform a play I co-wrote tomorrow. Thursday is another story, though… I have two exams, back-to-back in the subjects I struggle the most in.

I’m trying to keep a positive outlook on all of this by convincing myself that it’s almost over and everything will be okay once it’s all done and the last final is handed in to my professor.

Overall, for the very first time taking finals in college, I can’t complain much. They haven’t been nearly as difficult as I anticipated. I expected a lot worse than the reality. Then again, I had some pretty lax professors who took it easy on us (Thank God for them!)

Toppers up, everybody. We can survive the rest of this tiresome week!
