I hate cumulative final exams in college. They are too long. They require me to study everything from the beginning of the semester to the end of the semester. When all of your classes have a cumulative final exam, you have to study the material from the beginning of the semester to the end of the semester. Your brain will go nuts. Your brain has forgotten everything from the start. Studying will take a very long time. You do not know which old material will appear on the exam. That's why you have to study everything from the beginning just in case if one of them appeared on the exam.

You wish that you studied the material earlier. However, you have a lot of homework to complete. You have to do house chores and your job or internship. You do not have time to study. You also have to study for your other classes, too. Can you make it? Can you remember everything? You wish that the final exam is not cumulative. You are only happy when your professor says that the final exam is not cumulative or there is no final exam for the class. Also, you are aware that you will forget everything that you studied after time passes. Are cumulative final exams worth doing?

Cumulative final exams are one of the main reasons why grades go down. You find out that there is one material that you forgot. You get something wrong on the final exam and you do not know what you got wrong. You believe that you would have done better if the test is not cumulative and if you do not have to study for your other classes' exams. One thing for sure, cumulative final exams are one of the downs of college life.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
