Due to the horrendous amounts of snow we got in Oregon, my school's finals week was pushed to this week. So I thought I'd share some relatable gifs about how finals week feels.
The Determined To Get Everything Done Stage
This stage is really pre-finals week when you know that it’s coming and you’re determined to get everything done you need to do. You’re confident that you can do it all.
The I’m Pretty Sure I’m Still Doing Okay Stage
This stage is right when finals week starts and you’re still pretty on top of the game. You still think you’re going to ace the finals but you’re not 100% sure because you’ve given up on some of your classes.
The I Think I Might Be Failing Stage
When you’ve finished your first final and you already know you did horribly. You get hit with that wave of oh shit and everything goes downhill. This is the stage where you start to think you don’t remember anything from the class.
The I’m Realizing I Don’t Know Any Of This Stage
This is the stage when you know that you actually don’t know any of the information on your finals and you want to scream but you can’t so you just feel numb.
The I’m Actually Going To Cry Now Stage
This is the stage where you are about halfway through finals week and you’re ready to be done with literally everything. You’re under so much stress and you still have so much to do and you’re wondering if you can go into classes you’ve already took finals in and still turn things in.
The Second Burst Of Energy Stage
This is the stage where you get a second burst of yes, I can do this! I can make it through my finals… Even if I don’t get any sleep…
The I Can’t Do This I’m Going To Cry Stage
This is the stage where you actually just want to drop out of school and live under a rock. This stage can come anywhere between 2 minutes to 24 hours after the second burst of energy stage.
The Planning to Actually Drop Out Stage
This is the stage where you plan what you’re going to because you’re not passing your finals. If you can’t succeed in high school (or college), at least you’ll succeed at the blog you’ll keep.
The Wait, Did We Even Go Over This Stage
There’s always that one problem on the test that you’re like 300% sure was never talked about in class. This stage can happen at any point or every point of finals week.
The Finals Are Finally Over and I Did Okay Stage
This is the stage where you get your grades and you realize you did pretty good on your finals and you don’t have to drop out. This stage makes you feel good about yourself and your ability to learn and that’s what you really want.
