Finals Week As Told By Spongebob

I'm NOT ready.

Finals Week As Told By Spongebob
Encyclopedia Spongebob

As a college freshman, this is my first real finals week of my undergraduate career. Looking back, I thought that finals in high school were insane, but nothing could compare to the intensity of college finals. To put it into perspective, in high school, I slacked off. I studied maybe two days before the final and got a decent grade. Now, as a college student, I have been studying for the past week almost non-stop for my Chemistry final, and I don't even know if I'll do well on it.

It's a difficult week for every college student across the nation. Here are the stages of finals week as told by Spongebob.

1.

It's that time of year. Students are pulling all-nighters in the libraries instead of the bars. Your impending doom looms over you, as Patrick does to Spongebob in this picture.

2.

...but instead of studying, some of us put it off and procrastinate. You can see it in Squidward's eyes—he's having a mental breakdown.

3.

Unfortunately, you can't put off studying forever if you want to pass. You begrudgingly haul yourself to the library, search for a seat amongst the other panicking, stressed out students, and buckle down. It's going to be a long week.

4.

All of the stress to get an A hits hard. You begin to wonder how you can study for so many things in such a little amount of time.

5.

Sometimes you make plans to study with a friend. Whether it's actually going through the material together or just keeping one another focused, at some point, you both have a mental breakdown and freak out about exams together. Strength is better in numbers...especially when it's having a breakdown...right?

6.

It's the night before your most stressful final and if your brain were a picture, it would be this one. All of the little Spongebobs running around, freaking out, and the fire accurately depict a college student's brain the night before their most mentally taxing exam.

7.

When you finally get into bed that night, you feel like this fish who is casually engulfed in a blanket of flames.

8.

Your alarm goes off the next morning. To your dismay, it wasn't all just a terrible nightmare. It's real, and hopefully all of the stress and studying from the past week will pay off nicely.

9.

You're taking the exam, and you have a brain fart. It happens to the best of us. As you try to recover from the brain fart, you internally scream and feel like this Spongebob who looks like he might spontaneously combust at his desk.

10.

At last, you finish the exam. You bubble in the final answer, check it over once more to make sure you didn't miss anything, and hand it in at the front to the exam proctors. Though your eyes are bloodshot and you look like this emotionally-dead Squidward, you're done.

11.

When you finish the last of your exams, you'll feel like this picture of Mr. Krabs. There's an inexplicable joy from not having to deal with being so stressed anymore, but there's also the fear of what grade you're going to receive. Nonetheless, your mental state is so broken that you just laugh like a maniacal Mr. Krabs.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
