I made it. I managed to survive my first finals season as a college student. It was a long and troublesome process, I cried, I ate more pizza than I ever thought I would and still managed to make it through the long trial. At the beginning of Dead Week, I started writing things that I said out loud to recap my entire experience. These are all out-of-context things that I’ve muttered while working long and hard on my finals whether it came to exams or projects, this was my entire finals season.

1. “I’ve been in the library for 9 hours and only cried twice.”

2. “This is the 3rd pizza I’ve had today.”

3. “Remind me, why is Philosophy an important class?”

4. “You see, there is no time for sleep. It’s not in the schedule.”

5. “I suddenly have a newfound interest in book-binding instead of writing my paper.”

6. “What do you mean it’s the wrong study guide?”

7. “I knew I forgot to study something.”

8. “Whoever made exams start at 8:30 in the morning has a special place in hell waiting for them.”

9. “I’ve been wearing the same shirt all week long.”

10. “I’m probably going to be spending all break fixing my sleep schedule.”
