Is it just me or do the final few weeks of school feel like a few months instead? I love being at school and making memories with my friends do not get me wrong. But, let's face it... I am ready to be done and home for a bit!
I have yet to visit home all semester and the constant routine of going, going, going is just boring at this point. I am ready to relax, take a break, and get out of this college town for just a bit. The final few weeks of the semester loves to take its time and multiply the normal 24 hours in a day to feel more like 72 hour days.
Here are what the few weeks of the semester feel like as told by the cast of "Riverdale."
1. When you realize you have to get a 176% on your final exam in order to get an A in the course.
(This happens to us all.)
2. When you do not quite make that 176% on your final and miss an A by either a lot of points of .00001 and your professor is not willing to help you out even just a little bit.
3. When having 3 weeks left is actually feeling more like 33 years...
4. You probably started counting down how many 8 a.m. classes you had left about a month and a half ago.
You also probably used up all of your absences already and cannot miss unless you want a 50% as your average, so you cannot ignore the sound of your alarm going off at the crack of dawn. Every time your alarm continues to go off gets harder and harder these final few weeks.
5. Thinking "Um, when did what language are these notes in?"
And, looking through all the notes from the semester and wonder who actually wrote them because you obviously did not.
6. Going out the final few weeks of school is stressful
Not only should you be prioritizing your time better, but it just feels like the same old, same old, and you are ready for a change of pace.
7. Getting hit by everything you have procrastinated to do over the semester like...
8. Looking at your exam you studied days for with absolutely no sleep, but still realizing you know absolutely none of the material and having to accept your time has run out.
9. People watching is the BEST at this time of the year.
Mental breakdowns left and right, the people who are "studying" but actually searching how to get their MRS degree online or looking at how everyone is equally being slapped in the face by the reality of exam season.
9. When your parents ask you why you did not make a 4.0 for the semester... well, umm.... yeah about that...
10. Having to be especially kind and relatable when you have not slept for hours because of finals can be extremely difficult.
Especially if you love to nap and have not gotten to enjoy that past time for a week or so.
11. When you check your exam results and realize you actually knew more than you thought and got amazing scores!!!! (The best feeling to be honest)
12. Going out with your best friends to celebrate making it through one more semester and one last time before you do not see each other for a few months is a bittersweet ending to every semester.
13. Walking away from the semester realizing that you finally made it through.
You deserve a pat on the back, round of applause, or a bow for all of your hard work! YOU MADE IT. Now, you have to go through it all again in a few months (sorry).
