Wordpress

Ah, finals. Every college students favorite time of the year. When we wear the same outfit three days in a row, exhibiting bags under your eyes darker than the sky when you finally leave the library and momentarily giving up all hope for your future are all normal occurrences.

The only person who hit rock bottom harder than a student failing their finals is our dear beloved Bieber.

So here are the 10 stages of taking a final, as told by none other than Biebs.


1. Walking into the final with all the confidence in the world after an all-nighter of studying

2. When you read the first question, and your hopes of an A disappear

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F20%2F635967870623246226-1979167827_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=170&h=155b902b154d4a807566705a8c43eed288d241e130623a0a8df1bdbcd519c46d&size=980x&c=405679860 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F20%252F635967870623246226-1979167827_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D170%26h%3D155b902b154d4a807566705a8c43eed288d241e130623a0a8df1bdbcd519c46d%26size%3D980x%26c%3D405679860%22%7D" expand=1]

3. Turning the page and getting on a roll of questions you actually know how to answer

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F20%2F635967871415516329-1888023713_swag.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=807&h=3f7c350fd141dadd3b389f29fbd77322c7f84203b180044cc28d9ccac9207662&size=980x&c=1229013299 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F20%252F635967871415516329-1888023713_swag.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D807%26h%3D3f7c350fd141dadd3b389f29fbd77322c7f84203b180044cc28d9ccac9207662%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1229013299%22%7D" expand=1]

4. But then comes the essay portion, with none of the prompts you prepared

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F20%2F635967871797244502-922118388_confused.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=616&h=c4fbe53b5f56c4152dbd76ae3d3c7b5124a7d3d700a1f8cf63c0a1d6c06440b8&size=980x&c=2861512047 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F20%252F635967871797244502-922118388_confused.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D616%26h%3Dc4fbe53b5f56c4152dbd76ae3d3c7b5124a7d3d700a1f8cf63c0a1d6c06440b8%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2861512047%22%7D" expand=1]


5. So you start calculating the lowest grade you need to pass the class

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F20%2F635967872073743386360354510_death.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=739&h=fc80a8e77deee1f00f1100445c7a4600ac889eee4657981a8772e86267452d32&size=980x&c=719635495 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F20%252F635967872073743386360354510_death.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D739%26h%3Dfc80a8e77deee1f00f1100445c7a4600ac889eee4657981a8772e86267452d32%26size%3D980x%26c%3D719635495%22%7D" expand=1]

6. After the five-minute calculation break, you flip back to the multiple choice section but still know none of the answers

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F20%2F6359678729293131301647716611_recall.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=422&h=dffb596287471a66017e63dee7fdf8edb57406648555c17a29b98e5a87f9c7e6&size=980x&c=2768504598 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F20%252F6359678729293131301647716611_recall.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D422%26h%3Ddffb596287471a66017e63dee7fdf8edb57406648555c17a29b98e5a87f9c7e6%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2768504598%22%7D" expand=1]

7. Then the teacher announces that there are five minutes left

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F20%2F6359678743171059011516823715_confsued.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=851&h=902e2bf1adfabbf2c47120d7de50526d872ae10dc7339ff1cfdad5245cb9a0c1&size=980x&c=1093981922 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F20%252F6359678743171059011516823715_confsued.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D851%26h%3D902e2bf1adfabbf2c47120d7de50526d872ae10dc7339ff1cfdad5245cb9a0c1%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1093981922%22%7D" expand=1]

8. But you only have one question left

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F20%2F635967874557636431-1610060288_ecxited.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=126&h=2de26bd83bcd8d626523a796572408ea460442738683d3627ce6d849ff4ad656&size=980x&c=1579391128 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F20%252F635967874557636431-1610060288_ecxited.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D126%26h%3D2de26bd83bcd8d626523a796572408ea460442738683d3627ce6d849ff4ad656%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1579391128%22%7D" expand=1]

9. So you hand in your exam, you're finally finished with this class

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F20%2F6359678749276355111679233534_god.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=555&h=de0ec10022c18990d6add07d285eea517ae08755557a135d30dd9fa71970a349&size=980x&c=3024262974 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F20%252F6359678749276355111679233534_god.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D555%26h%3Dde0ec10022c18990d6add07d285eea517ae08755557a135d30dd9fa71970a349%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3024262974%22%7D" expand=1]

10. Then you walk out with confidence, not knowing if you killed it or it killed you

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F20%2F635967875465863025-1455768943_leaving.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=1020&h=56b422e38d36eea16452d7b6463739a0d60551fa9d93e6285fb3accb05ea82b3&size=980x&c=3995176658 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F20%252F635967875465863025-1455768943_leaving.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D1020%26h%3D56b422e38d36eea16452d7b6463739a0d60551fa9d93e6285fb3accb05ea82b3%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3995176658%22%7D" expand=1]
