Thoughts All Students Are Certain To Have Finals Week

Not only does this time of year smell of peppermint and Holly Jolly times, but for the student population, the scent of stress and tears also lingers in the air. By this point in the semester, it’s a universal fact that everyone is itching to wrap up their classes and have a relaxing break. However, we’ve got to conquer final exams first, so here are a few things that only University Students can relate to during finals…

1. When someone asks you how you're doing:

2. Realizing that your GPA, financial aid package, critical tracking, success in the course, self esteem, and family honor relies on the outcome of this exam:

3. Thinking about finals in general:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F11%2F30%2F636160798542499761-496733447_giphy%2520%281%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=675&h=24b9e705c31b0c376bd6ac1952d3761b9fa4e449dff1e9dae49e243edff42ecf&size=980x&c=1758180953 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F11%252F30%252F636160798542499761-496733447_giphy%252520%25281%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D675%26h%3D24b9e705c31b0c376bd6ac1952d3761b9fa4e449dff1e9dae49e243edff42ecf%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1758180953%22%7D" expand=1]

4. When it's mathematically impossible to pass so you start trying to rationalize:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F11%2F30%2F6361608134600130501269642796_14%2520things%2520studying%25204.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=562&h=61a7f36d27ef0112f4b679bcb9f8d85621426331de6138f19ede13e77eedb179&size=980x&c=4266683949 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F11%252F30%252F6361608134600130501269642796_14%252520things%252520studying%2525204.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D562%26h%3D61a7f36d27ef0112f4b679bcb9f8d85621426331de6138f19ede13e77eedb179%26size%3D980x%26c%3D4266683949%22%7D" expand=1]

5. Walking into the final after studying 30 hours and still only half-understanding the information like:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F11%2F30%2F636160810578361743-989085503_giphy%2520%283%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=354&h=d974a1d80de0119b6f1c322d7b4656b00d14601272f82416a175c48ed0887bf3&size=980x&c=805551992 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F11%252F30%252F636160810578361743-989085503_giphy%252520%25283%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D354%26h%3Dd974a1d80de0119b6f1c322d7b4656b00d14601272f82416a175c48ed0887bf3%26size%3D980x%26c%3D805551992%22%7D" expand=1]

6. Wishing your mate good luck as they leave to go take their final:

7. When you do a question on the exam and get one of the answer choices first try:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F11%2F30%2F6361608172957296761806663918_14%2520things%2520studying%25206.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=495&h=af3b4814203c6785a5f988d4d5118974535ed2e542a1d49649f42a30b31042b0&size=980x&c=101065015 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F11%252F30%252F6361608172957296761806663918_14%252520things%252520studying%2525206.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D495%26h%3Daf3b4814203c6785a5f988d4d5118974535ed2e542a1d49649f42a30b31042b0%26size%3D980x%26c%3D101065015%22%7D" expand=1]

8. Seeing a question on the exam dealing with a topic you didn't study because your TA said "not to worry about it":

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F11%2F30%2F636160861600445121-1448604821_giphy%2520%287%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=214&h=469aee3bb05b0f8493648e984cc329e1d1f3b331c3a12110494e24523e45dc04&size=980x&c=1277997580 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F11%252F30%252F636160861600445121-1448604821_giphy%252520%25287%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D214%26h%3D469aee3bb05b0f8493648e984cc329e1d1f3b331c3a12110494e24523e45dc04%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1277997580%22%7D" expand=1]

9. Hitting the bars after finishing your exam like:

10. When you go to check your grade and realize you did well because you are awesome (...you also probably studied a crap ton and deserve to do well anyways):
