Finals. The six letter word that makes everyone freak out and shake a bit. Now that classes are winding down and the semester is beginning to wrap up, final papers, study guides and flash cards are being assigned and created. Due dates are closer then they seem, and every professor seems to forget that while the history of the early 18th century may be important to them, you also have another five classes to worry about, with different professors who are assigning just as much work. Pretty soon, your body will be running on coffee, and only coffee, you'll spend hours locked away in your room cramming a whole semester's worth of knowledge into your brain, and you'll probably question what the hell you're doing at least twice a day.
12 Hour Days
Wake up. Study. Study. Study. Sleep (if you're lucky). And repeat.
11 Different Textbooks
For some of us, now would be a good time to pull that science textbook out from under your bed, brush off the dust, and read it.
10 All-Nighters
Honestly, what is sleep during finals week?
9 Final Papers
Final papers always seem to be those fifteen page research papers with the endless list of required sources (if you wrote a senior thesis, it's probably no big deal).
8 Cups of Coffee
Starbucks owns our bank accounts during finals week.
7 Anxiety Attacks
I'M NEVER GOING TO GET ALL OF THIS WORK DONE AND PASS ALL MY TESTS, AND HAVE TIME TO BREATHE, AND HAVE TIME TO EVEN TAKE THE TEST.
6 Different Classes
At this point, all of my classes feel like they're forming into one with the amount of endless work and studying.
5 Study Guides
Where would we be without the study guides? Added bonus when the professor says "the study guide is just like the final."
4 Review Sessions
The person sitting next to seems to know the answer to everything, while I'm trying to keep my sh*t together and remember what study guide even goes with the review class I'm currently in.
3 Thoughts of Changing My Major
Can I major in sleep? No? Oh.
2 Weeks of Life Questioning
But what am I actually doing..?
1 Month of Hell
Just let me know when finals are over, okay?
