If you're reading this, I hope you're done with finals! Well let's hope you are, considering it is Christmas Day. Merry Christmas and happy holidays! It's crazy to think how fast this year went by, well at least for me. So let's rewind or fast forward to the week after finals, depending on your situation. Here are the feelings I've felt this past week after finals. Maybe you can relate!
Having no patience towards finding out your final grades
I don't know about you but I've been seeing people posting how great they did this semester. Meanwhile, I only have one of my grades posted! Where are my grades? I need answers. This waiting is killing me. I have been constantly checking for my grades and they are not up yet. The suspense is killing me! To all those who have their grades already, I envy you. People constantly ask how the semester went during holidays and I can't even be confident in my answer them because I don't even know myself. Let's hope I did well. This semester was pretty tough for me.
Feeling like you forgot to do some assignment then realizing the semester is over
Throughout the semester, we tend to have this feeling that we are forgetting to do something. Especially when we aren't doing something school related. When I was working this week, I thought to myself, "What is due tonight?". Then shortly after that I realized nothing is due. The semester ended. I was so confused. Force of habit I guess!
Not knowing what to do with your free time
When I'm not working I honestly don't know what to do with myself. I usually go with either binge-watching something whether that be whatever is on my DVR, Netflix, Hulu, or YouTube videos. The options are endless. If it's not that then I nap. Then repeat. This is definitely not the healthiest thing to do but it's just the beginning of winter break so I cut myself some slack. I deserve this! I mean what else is there to do? It's so cold out and even though I did some of this during the semester, I felt guilty binge-watching but now I can feel less guilty about it and catch up on everything I missed which is a plus.
Adjusting to life back at home
I mean I can't relate since I commute to school from my actual house haha. I do remember at my former school when lived on campus and would come home to see changes I felt a bit like this. Things at home change while you're away and you get so used to your college life so home doesn't feel like home for a second until you adjust. That first week at home you feel like guest more than anything. You might be living out of your suitcase if you left majority of your stuff at school.
